our newsletter: a journey within

dreams and memories collide. how will we recognize truth? it is lost on the tip of the tongue of a mute. how do you jump? beyond words, ideas and thoughts. what’s the way? to be clear, i got lost. there is no path. where do we begin? for those seeking, it is an eternal returning home to a journey within.

receive stories, poems, essays and reflections from the backroads of a journey within.

about me

i grew up in bloemfontein, south africa. my parents raised me with love, discipline and freedom.

my mother inspired creativity and resilience within me. my father answered me with questions and showed me the joy of following a road less traveled.

i care deeply about people and stories. i believe that we all share an eternal light within us that shines in the darkest of nights. i get sad when i experience caged, lost and sabotaged potential.

i facilitate change, write and speak. how can i be so convicted about it? because the results i have seen have always been greater than myself.

home is on the wild coast, transkei, south africa with my partner and our dog.

to a campfire, a holy meeting place

chaos and order dancing through time.

we are a part of something bigger you and i.

at the edge of this cliff, an ocean with love.

the storm is pulling me in, how do you jump?

 

i take a step back to go forward.

we've been floating our whole lives to touch this grace.

this is nothing new, you whisper, and i pray.

the beauty is pulling me in, how do you stay?

 

o god, after this death, let me awake.

to a campfire, a holy meeting place.

there you laugh from your belly and it vibrates.

and ripples forevermore, creation into space.
