Deeply resonating writing for this weary soul. And before you lean into concern, I love my weariness. It is a quiet fire within.

Your post is courageous ( filled with heart, literally) and I applaud the wrting of it. Look forward to reading more.

Thank you for reading this Paul, and for sharing your resonance. You're not alone with the quiet fire within. Thank you, too, for your kind words of support. They mean a lot.

You are very welcome. I found the whole piece to be well thought out and delivered with a clarity and compassion. Great writingor speaking…did the podcast come first?

Thank you - clarity and compassion are two core principles which I hold dear. In the case of this particular podcast, my writing comes first, which I then read out and record. But I've also spoken on and hosted other podcasts where it's purely conversational, and I'm planning to have conversations on this one too.

Thank you for your encouragement and for sharing this, it's much appreciated. And you're right..I guess there's never been a better time to step forward and start wading through the quagmire of chaos. If nothing else, we meet other voices of sanity out here in the field!

I really enjoyed listening to your story and your telling of the colonisation of your spiritual journey, and how we are all left bereft through the capitalist influence on what was once sacred. This is so multifaceted and you weave in a diverse range of perspectives with clarity and compassion.
