In the beginning,
there was nothing.
Then—a mirror appeared.

the mirror was never real.
Only a dream,
trying to awaken me.
There was nothing to reach for.
Nothing to reach with.
The image was not me.

And when I knew this,
the mirror disappeared—
like mist at sunrise.

A Dialogue Between Me and She A sacred, erotic conversation with my Love Cave — alive with rhythm, pulse, and whispered wisdom. Me: Are you there, my soft, warm secret? Do you feel how my fingers linger, how my breath changes when I think of you? She (in pulse): I...
When I go on retreat for a longer time, something shifts. The noise of daily life fades, and the deeper reality—what Longchenpa calls the natural state—comes more clearly into view. Part of me feels I should stop writing altogether and simply rest in practice, saying...
