Never Miss a New Writing…
Retreat as Incubator
The modern world is very good at dispersing attention.
Notifications, responsibilities, identities, roles—each one asking for a piece of you until your awareness becomes thinly spread across a thousand surfaces.
And when attention fragments, so does presence.
And when presence fragments, so does relationship—
to yourself, to others, to the moment you are actually living.
A retreat interrupts this pattern.
Not by force, but by design.
A Good Death
I want to tell you about my friend. I want to fill up page, after page about the life he lived, but I don’t need to. You will understand the importance of his story after you hear about the death he lived.
