Conversations with the Heartmind

Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy; where before there was fear, now there is courage; where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; […]
Read More“He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.” ― Lao Tzu The life of a seed is one that begs to be noticed. We often overlook this, as we see just a simple existence, basic, unadorned and not given to much contemplation. But the seed is the beginning of transformation. Within […]
