Words + Story
Words move through us like waters of a mountain stream… opening passageways, clearing debris, bringing new life… Currents of reflection, gathering light and shining it back from deep within. Their sound, like the river, sends us dreaming and perceiving new possibilities. Soon we find ourselves more connected to our own story, to the whispers of trees and to the pulse of the Universe...
We offer the following articles, excerpts, passages and poems as a doorway to the mind, a path to the heart and a gift to the Spirit. Dive in and enjoy!
Remembering the Way of Miracles

Doing From a Higher Place of BEING: Discovering ONENESS in Everyday Life
We have all cultivated this feeling of flow at one time or another in sport, work, creative expression, nature or with a loved one. In these moments we are not concerned with results, with achieving a certain end or what will happen next. We are simply and purely in the moment.

Dynamic, powerful and expressive, yet totally natural and unforced. In truth this is our most natural state of BEING.
