The words shared on this website started as a desire I had to share something that may benefit the world. Over the course of time, I have enjoyed fashioning words for this purpose and hope this website will now bring you enjoyment and benefit.

It is my hope that this becomes a useful website that you can visit regularly for interesting and timely content that can nourish and inspire you.

If you have enjoyed the words here, please share with friends and family who may also appreciate these words.

Creating some reflections and poem doesn’t mean that you can practice the words that you have written so I too will use be using the content here to refresh and deepen my practice of mindfulness, compassion and understanding.

Dedication to people:

This website is dedicated to seekers of kindness and inner wisdom, to those who appreciate that our world is all connected, to those who want to reflect on the inner and outer world, to seekers of truth who want to go beyond words and discrimination, to those who are interested in the natural world and protecting it, to those who are looking for something a bit different.

This site has also been designed as a resource for to Buddhist Dharma teachers and for practitioners of meditation, to people who are interested in mindfulness and transformation, to everyone who believe in the path of love and understanding.

Last but not least this website is dedicated to my family and my friends - thank you for your love, kindness and support. We all inter-are.

May the words that I have shaped and fashioned here… bring you enjoyment and inspiration. May they be useful to you as materials for further reflection. Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you will gain benefit from your visit. 🙏

Dedication to the ‘natural’ world:

This website is also dedicated to all the species and “non-living” elements that are not able to directly voice themselves in English or any other language. May the little that I offer here benefit our Natural World. 🙏

Thanks for visiting,

🙏 Luan

About We Inter-Are —

I created these poems for sharing,

I crafted these words for exploring.

I wanted to affirm our good nature,

And share a world most amazing…

Some reflections on interbeing,

On compassion and suffering,

Reflections on various topics,

As well as spontaneous feelings.

To dabble in some awakening,

To discover our discriminations,

To recognise our world of labelling,

Observe our world of impermanence.

It is a chance to reflect on kindness,

On compassion and life’s struggles.

On how we are all deeply connected…

To absolutely everything.

To explore the walls of the mind,

And the barriers of our heart.

How we are not so different after all -

This amazing world of interbeing.

Come explore the nature of words,

And the nature of their meaning.

How the mind runs on endlessly,

Forever swinging , forever moving.

Come and reconnect to nature,

Open our eyes to what is happening.

To hear silent cries of suffering,

From our planet and all beings.

Let us also discover real treasures…

Like our amazing nature of kindness.

Places of love and understanding,

And the joy of mindful breathing.

It is to share with you some gentle steps,

Along flowered paths of awakening.

To take you to dark places of war,

To the place where bombs are falling.

To a land where light is shining,

To many people who are smiling.

To the peace residing within,

To our home of gentle calming.

In these words that are strung together,

Let us go on a fascinating journey.

To a realm that includes all the stars,

To our heart of love and understanding.

Visitor comments: There is a Visitor’s Book where you can leave your positive feedback/comments. Otherwise, please email me using the address above and also see the notes below.

Please note:

+ Sometimes I don’t check my emails regularly so thank you for your patience if there is a delay in reply.

+ Please be aware that I won’t be explaining/expanding on the words that I have shared on this website - your inner wisdom is sufficient and besides, your way of seeing things could be much clearer/deeper/more beautiful than mine so who I’m I to clarify meaning for it is a personal thing? The words are the scaffolding for your views and insights based on your experience.

+ If you have a question and feel stuck on some meaning, a useful way of seeing things is to think of some of these words and imagery as seeds - reading these words is like sowing some seeds. When the right conditions exist and maybe not immediately, some of them will rise up and bear shoots and flowers. Each seed will appear and grow/flower differently in each person so it is hard to say if my flower is the same as yours. A perception of meaning today may not be the same perception next month or next year for understanding is also in transformation. This is impermanence, transformation and interbeing.

+ The nature of these weekly sharings are that they are impermanent - they will change over time. If you encounter them this week, you may not encounter them next week - it will be something else. Maybe something else that you will like better? There may be a reason why you encounter them this week (a thousand reasons actually, a thousand conditions, a thousand roots and shoots). I hope they bring timely benefit to you.
