A Transition I’m In the Midst of

Dear companions,

I want to share with you a transition I’m in the midst of.

After 10 years of living in the city, growing, creating, and deepening life together with my beloved wife – I am, and we are, ready to return to the quieter rhythms of nature. I was born in a village my grandfather and his older brother helped found after surviving the Holocaust together in Romania. It’s where he met my grandmother when he arrived in Israel. Living in a village carries memory, roots, and the scent of something that slips beyond language. A connection with Cosmos, the other side of the same coin of Cosmos/Psyche.

Now, I long to live once again within the sound of trees, wind, and silence, so that my outer life can match the deep inner world that has been unfolding within me.

We’re leaving a home we have loved and lived in, where we matured and grew into ourselves.

We have a 6yo beautiful pitbull named Miso (like the soup), who doesn’t yet know what it’s like to live on the land. We love him dearly. He is a soulful companion for life.

I imagine some of you are feeling this shift too~
a longing for a slower, deeper life.

Before creating this channel, I spent a year crafting a music album.
It was a labor not just of sound, but of self-acceptance. I had to learn to see myself, and my creations, as good enough. Whole, beautiful, and never perfect. Once I crossed that threshold, I could truly devote myself to the process. And I did.

Then I asked myself – how can I bring together everything I’ve lived, learned, and created? That’s when I felt called to share my love for Carl Jung’s spirit with others, and soon after, this channel was born.

My first upload was a deep expression of love and admiration for a man whose work changed my life. I can’t say it enough: if you can, read and listen to everything that Edward Edinger created. He is the clearest mediator of Carl Jung’s psychological legacy I’ve ever encountered.

But more than anything, I now want to connect. To offer all that I am – heart, soul, poetry, music, symbols – and meet you in that collective and intimate space between us.

That’s where the magic happens.

Many of you have responded to my poems. You’ve seen the symbols. You’ve felt what I felt. That means a lot to me.

I want to return to music too – not just in form, but in spirit.
Religio – from the Latin ‘religare’, meaning “to bind back” or “reconnect with reverence”.
Not in the institutional sense we often associate with the word religion, but in its original spirit:
to link back with reverence to what is essential, eternal, and greater than the conscious ego personality.
To return, again and again, to the thread that binds soul and cosmos, inner and outer life and meaning.
I may set some of my favorite poems to music, or write new ones, letting rhythm and melody lead the way.
I usually write by intuition, letting the words come as they will.
But when I move toward song, I begin to shape them – into syllables, into rhyme, into breath.

I’d love to hear from you: what does this post stir in you?
What transitions are you living? What are you longing to return to?
Is there a specific poem you would like me to make a song out of?

I look forward to walking this next part of the path together~
With slower steps, deeper breaths, and a reverence for what we must not forget.
Thank you for walking alongside me.
