Soul Reflections, Quiet Truths & Threads from the Deep

Writings on spiritual awakening, soul healing, and midlife transformation

This space holds pieces of my journey — fragments of truth, moments of insight, and whispers from the soul

I write for those who are tired of surface-level everything.
For those who feel things deeply.
For those who want to sit beside something real and quietly let it work on them.

These writings are not here to fix or teach.
They’re invitations to rest, reflect, and return to what matters.

You’ll find reflections on:
Soul healing and spiritual integration
Energy sensitivity and embodiment
Grief, thresholds, and transformation
Midlife awakenings and archetypal stirrings
Living from the deep self in a fast world

Some posts are recent, written in the voice of the deep I now live from.
Others are from earlier seasons, when I was still trying to shape my work in ways the world might understand.
You may feel the shift in tone — and that’s okay.
We are always becoming.

Take what resonates. Let the rest float past.
And if something stirs in you — a question, a knowing, a desire to connect — I’d love to hear from you.

“Grief is the price of love” is a quote attributed to English psychiatrist Colin Murray Parkes and one that I often see shared on social media, usually by those who have lost someone they love and are in a long and deep grief process; it gives some solace, explanation and justification for the pain they are experiencing and it’s longevity.

However, this perspective offers a limited understanding of the complex nature of both grief and love. And it can cause you to diminish, invalidate or ignore grief that arises that isn’t associated with love. This disenfranchisement of grief can lead to loneliness and isolation and exacerbate the pain you are experiencing as well as the longevity of your grief.
