Fluency in the Language of Stillness
Not everyone is expected to be on the front lines. Yet, all of us have a responsibility as conscious, breathing, living human beings to work toward the evolution of a good, beautiful and thriving world.

The Sun of Darkness
The center and the periphery are changing places. This is part of a larger epochal shift that we can best understand through a mythological and cosmological lens.
