Coming Home to your True, Pure Soul

The wound in me evokes the healer in you, and the wound in you evokes the healer in me, and then the two healers collaborate. ~ Rachel Naomi Remen My dear friends, I hope you found safe and comforting ways to celebrate the Covid-19 version of Christmas […]
Remind Me of What I Know
Suffering that is not understood is hard to bear, while on the other hand it is often astounding to see how much a person can endure when he understands the why and the wherefore. A philosophical or religious view of the world enables him to do this, and such views prove to be, at the very […]
Your Invitation to Be Part of the Change
