ABOUT TIM
At age six, I was suddenly struck with the thought, “I am me.”
I still remember that moment because it stopped me in my tracks. I could not let go of the idea. It suggested a level of separation I was not ready to understand.
I grew up in a devout Christian family, yet organized religion never truly spoke to me.
I felt a strong pull toward something greater than myself, but I had no clear sense of what that was.
These questions came to a turning point with the birth of our son, who was born with a severe disability. It was the first major event in my life over which I had no control. I began questioning the meaning of my life and its purpose. More importantly, I searched for a way to move beyond our circumstances and still experience joy.
Knowing I was not alone in facing such challenges, I turned to the mystical writings of philosophers and theologians. I studied with the intention of shaping a framework to guide my life, recording my thoughts and reflections in a journal along the way.
After many years, I arrived at a clear conclusion. The path to peace through intellect alone was not enough. I became drawn to Eastern contemplative practices and eventually developed one of my own. That practice became central to how I live.
This website reflects my journey, but it is not about me. We all seek joy, meaning, and a sense of belonging. There are many paths, but each of us must find our own.
I invite you to join me on that journey, “Towards a Life Well-Lived.”
