Kiss The Earth

Patience

“It is time for us to kiss the earth again, It is time to let the leaves rain from the skies, Let the rich life run to the roots again.” – Robinson Jeffers

Fearless Mushrooms

“Nature alone is antique and the oldest art a mushroom.”
-Thomas Carlyle

“Everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the power of the world always works in circles, and everything tries to be round.” – Black Elk, Oglala Lakota, 1930

The Labyrinth

“The Labyrinth is an archetype, a symbol found in ancient cultures in various forms around the world. By walking the labyrinth, we are discovering a long forgotten mystical tradition.

I find that walking a labyrinth relaxes and grounds me in a very deep, profound way. The journey towards the center is all about letting go, so when we arrive there, we can listen with an open heart and bring love back into the world.

As we walk the meandering yet purposeful path through the labyrinth, it becomes a  metaphor for our journey through life with all it’s turns and twists.
