I'm Alexander. I think and write about consciousness, contemplative practice, and how we meet each other — and ourselves — in relationship.

Moving through Bhikkhu Analayo's comparative studies of the Pāli Nikāyas and Chinese Āgamas — rigorous, patient work that keeps reshaping how I read early texts. Alongside that, deepening a Hakomi practice and sitting with what it means to offer genuine accompaniment to others.
Thinking about the fold itself: the place where practice and relationship, interiority and presence, meet and press against each other.
