Ananda is the bliss within a quiet unhurried moment. The timeless canvas on which existence unfolds.
I am inspired by Ramana Maharishi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. Silence and stillness are my closest proxies to the truth. My greatest guide and unconditional companions. They underlie a lot of the thoughts and words that appear on this blog.
I write to explore, understand and connect with my own heart. I reach into the quietness in my memories, relationships, experiences, observations, dreams and contemplations to do so.
There is joy and a sense of connectedness in sharing these writings. I hope they resonate in a way that inspires a deeper connection with the truth of who we are. That is what binds everything together.
I am grateful to all those that read and respond to what I share.
Ananda Only 
Astute! Writing does provide anchoring to thoughts and dreams or ideas. Sometimes, I introspect more through my writing than when I am alone. Can not agree more with you

self expression … an extension of self awareness and somehow then a dissipation of self … into sharing and more ❤

I owe Natalie, the Hot Goddess a big thank you for the introduction. I was immediately hooked by your profound words and this speaks to me “Silence and stillness are my closest proxies to the truth.” I hope to visit more often.
