A Message To The Weary Traveler

We are weary by nature in many ways. The process of learning from mistakes, growing and evolving as we stumble through life can be daunting. Our struggles seem highly personalized as we meet with upset after upset. Of course, none of these feelings of exhaustion belong to one person nor are they anything new. It’s […]

WHAT DUALITY TEACHES US

“Peace does not mean the absence of conflict, because opposition, polarity, and conflict are natural laws.” -Bryant McGill GOOD AND BAD We tend to look at earthquakes as or tornadoes as these destructive forces but in a cosmic sense they’re merely just regular occurrences.

LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD

Our love lives can feel like a title bout match with a heavyweight at times. We’ll recover from one emotional blow just to be blindsided by another right hook to the jaw. No matter how much we posture and shuck and jive the hits just keep on hitting. We find ourselves regrouping in the corner […]
