A Healing Effect

August 16, 2014 · Leave a Comment

“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”  ~ thich nhat hahn Describing a feeling is never easy unless I have an acute sense of it’s components. I have been living under an umbrella of grief for 23 months now so I can describe that […]

Good Words Found

March 24, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Love is a sacrament. Beauty is a sacrament. Peace is a sacrament. Creativity is a sacrament. These things course through us just as surely as our blood.
