Autumn Light
Wisdom is the art of balancing the known with the unknown, the suffering with the joy; it is a way of linking the whole of life together in a new and deeper unity … Wisdom is the art of living in rhythm with your soul, your life, and the divine. John O’Donohue
The Port of Emerald
To get to you,I travelled light years Through cosmic storms and dust, Only to find you sleepingon your simple cot. Stepping back,I folded,Quietly, My grey ragged wings.I could see why he chose you, The glow of your pure breath…I didn’t mean to frighten you, Just wanted to keep looking…I wanted to breathe in your innocent...

The Warrior Soul
Whatever you are physically…. male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy…. all those things matter less than what your heart contains.If you have a soul of a warrior, you are a warrior.

Sacred Passage
Creative work, like love, is not an exclusive gift bestowed on only a chosen few. A few now possess sanctity and moral vision, heroism and wisdom, genius and talent. But all that is merely activation of the potential dormant within every soul. A sea of love, an unexhaustible wellspring of creativity, bubbles behind the consciousness...
Hallowed Phoenix
You do not have to be in some setting hallowed by greatness, or in the presence of an artist honoured around the world, for art to move you. Art can work its magic any time you are in the presence of a work created by someone who has gone inside the act of creation to...
Rohana
It is because of our wounds, our pain and our sadness, that we turn from the outer world and trace the thread of our own darkness back to its source.It leads us through the barriers of pain to the place of our own healing. But in the very process of making this journey the light...
