october 2025
dear friends,
the leaves have changed and life decided to follow. i've accepted an offer on my house and moved into a backpack. thank you for witnessing it all dissolve with such beauty.
september highlights ✨
- being struck into silence by the northern lights in the boundary waters
- the threshold bonfire – holy shit. thank you all for guiding me and letting me flow so fully supported into this next chapter
- finally getting to hold a K & Kirtan ceremony, a dream come true
recent reading 📚
- love and rage (4) – fantastic, beautiful, brave. i feel like i learned so much about self-love and authentic expression
- the timebound traveler (4) – a sincere autobiography of awakening. david newman seems like such a sweet soul. sad i never got to chant with him
- currently: awake – a fantastic dive into the awakening process
sincere gratitude 🙏
- maddie, for the rare kind of friendship that can pause for a year and pick up with such loyalty
- ricky, for the deep talks and timeless support
- mary and bill, whose joyful help made selling the house possible
october plans 🗓️
for the next three weeks i'll be in michigan on silent retreat – a deep chrysalis to begin this next journey of pilgrimage.
i'll be back in minneapolis in early november for a brief return, a few goodbyes, then onward to nepal.
from the silence within,
nicho
