What makes you feel good. It is both a question and a declaration. Enjoy your love; dig deeper. Living systems adapt by transforming themselves, responding to the subtle logos. I am of you, and this knowledge allows me to release my ego baggage. How can we learn to ride that vibration? Rather than escape by […]
We are now in the second phase, of however many phases we do not yet know. It seemed quite benevolent of Mother Nature to provide us with non-stop sun for the entire month of April as we succumbed to quarantine and a changing of the world order. But now it is May showers, amidst the […]
