Welcome to my personal blog - an occasionally daily journal of a retired Buddhist priest living off-grid in the mountains of Idaho.

I write from silence, between chores and prayers, often with dirt still under my nails or tea cooling beside me. These entries aren’t polished. They’re lived. Some days are about planting onions or fixing hinges. Others drift toward memory, scripture, or stillness.

I don’t write to teach or persuade. Just to bear witness - to this place, this life, and the quiet that remains when the noise is gone.

You’re welcome to sit for a while.
