The people who are willing to honestly acknowledge when something feels deeply wrong are often the ones closest to real clarity. Not because discomfort or suffering is somehow noble in itself, but because the courage to sit with that unease, to follow the questions all the way down instead of numbing them or pushing them away, is exactly how truth begins to find us.

Sunday Sessions | The Book, the Cocoon, and Learning to Hold Intensity Without the Edge (A Personal Sunday Reckoning)
Yesterday morning – again – I read an argument on X before coffee. We know better, but we don’t always do better. In it, two people certain they were the villain-identifiers of history.

The same is true about people. I have been called too sensitive my whole life. Too deep. Too much. People were never wrong that I am sensitive. They were just wrong about what that means.
Alan Watts and the Evolution of Faith: A Personal Journey
More than two decades ago, my most active spiritual teacher and closest friend, whom I lovingly call Master Roshi, introduced me to the works of Alan Watts.
