TEA AND ZEN - THREADS

There are moments when words arise not from thought, but from presence when the silence speaks, and the heart listens. Welcome to Letters from the Threshold, a contemplative audio offering from Meditation Sans Frontieres a sanctuary of presence, remembrance, and the healing beauty of stillness, drawn from the well of lived experience, grief, love, and the sacred technologies of being.

Healing is not the removal of wounds, but the remembering of love beneath them. It is a quiet return to what was never truly lost—only forgotten in the necessity of survival. In this remembrance, the places that once ached are met with warmth, and what was held in protection is gently allowed to rest.

A slow, spacious meditation on inner alchemy—where suffering is held with love, the heart softens, and peace quietly radiates outward into the world, and suffering is met with kindness, and love is allowed to transform from within.

My hope is to walk in the world through a lived covenant— not by rules imposed, but by rhythms chosen in love, and to protect the quiet.

My hope is that my presence helps others feel safe enough to soften, to breathe, and to come home to themselves.

My hope is to carry a familiarity with the unseen, and to help people trust the movements of the soul— not as ideas, but as lived experience.

My hope is to midwife inner transitions: to...

Parenting often reveals more than it instructs. In caring for our children, old memories surface—of what we received, and what we did not. This piece explores how parenting becomes an invitation to re-parent ourselves, freeing both parent and child from carrying unfinished stories, and allowing love to move in a new, gentler direction.

Long before theories, techniques, and expert opinions, there was a quieter knowing about what children need. Not perfection. Not control. But safety, presence, and a steady heart. This piece reflects on parenting as a sacred role—one rooted in witnessing, repair, boundaries, and the humility to let a child become who they already are.

In this reflection, Nigel Lott speaks from the intimate terrain of presence — the wordless field where we meet one another beneath thought, story, and role. Drawing from years of sitting with the dying, he explores how grief, when held in silence, reveals itself as love, and how this same meeting is quietly occurring in every moment of our lives, though often obscured by fear, language, and self-protection.

Even when life leans into shadow or uncertainty, even when appearances say otherwise, Love quietly leads the way, forever and always.

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
