Letters to the Universe

Letters to friends, Gurus, Saints and Teachers. A journey of the soul of a seeker


Striking a Cord: A Walk in the Woods

Walking in the woods after some time away, I was struck by a memory of the same woods years ago.

It was like hitting a chord on an instrument.  When a chord is sounded, there is an inner sense of perfection, of synchronicity of time and space.

And here, all the elements came together, the smell, the sight, the weather, to elicit a single, clear memory.

It rushes forward organically as a full body awareness of attune-ment.

Same with my memory. 

It rises up and captures my mind, senses and heart. Pulsing together to blend into one coherent stream of consciousness. 

I sigh with relief.

I am here now and am there then.

No distinction.

One clear chord of disparate notes.



Letters to the Universe
A journey of the soul of a seeker.

Since 1984, I have been writing letters to friends, Gurus, Saints, and Teachers, seeking wisdom, guidance, and connection. Over time, I realized that I was truly writing to the Universe.

At first, I posted many of these letters, and some were answered. As my journey deepened, I came to understand that sending them mattered less than listening for what arose within me.

Eventually, I stopped sending them to anyone in particular. These pages are a record of years of questions, musings, and the quiet wisdom that has accompanied my spiritual exploration.
