Consider, in spite of life’s inevitable challenges, the abundance of kindness and generosity that does exist within the collective spirit of humanity, that does carry us forth towards new beginnings, particularly when the night has grown too long and we are unable to travel forth of our own volition. This is all about that connection to something deeper, greater than our singular selves, and the brilliance of that unnameable force. Sometimes experienced in brief startling moments of clarity, though at other times, as a gentle dawning...as if within the sanctuary of a golden vessel carried forward by a slow moving current upon soothing, abundant waters...ever present, ever flowing, ever there when we open and release to it.
