Betrayal

Here I am in Cambridge, in Newnham, in a narrow passage that separates the brook from Grantchester Road. At the end of the passage is a gate in the vines, beyond it the house I have bought at auction.
Here is your room; the punishment, the fragility, your mouth. We are sitting in an alcove - you asked me if I prayed every day, I am wrapped around you, the walls are lined with books. Tell me, explain, tell me the difference between a crime committed and repented; and the transgression of a punish… Continue

My Way of Being

For the last couple of weeks I have found myself in a self-destructive internal struggle of needing to know what happens next and focusing my energy on the future and not the present moment. I have pulled myself out of it time and time again only to fall back into old habits at the drop of a hat. Energetically, the last few days have been powerful with the Full Moon and the Celtic New Year all coming into being. For me, this Celtic New Year and the festival of Samhain (Halloween) is a time to le… Continue

Taken from a conversation yesterday

What keeps us from Yoga?

'Something' in the way of 'Nothing'.

In the shape of a thought.

Thought: thinking.

The ‘thing’ becomes ‘king’… And what are we are left with?

Thing-King.

The thing becomes king, thinking begins, we lose the eternal perception of no-thing, and the process of entanglement has begun.

That which is perfectly woven, appears knotted.

Yoga seems a destination again.

Just something unnecessary... Getting in the way of nothing.
