“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.” Cesare Pavese, Italian poet, 1908 – 1950

Beyond My Reach…
Fun fact: the span of your outstretched arms is approximately equal to your height. It’s a beautiful fact of Devine design, as illustrated by DaVinci in his Vitruvian Man. Your reach far exceeds your span. “We think in secret and it comes to pass – Our world is but our looking glass.” James Allen, 1864 –…

Delight in the Light…
Yesterday was Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, and yet, it falls during the season of light; candles in various faith traditions flicker amidst strings of bulbs adorning houses and trees.

Thursday something called Keith House appeared on my map as I searched for weekend events. Wonder of wonders, this new spot was hosting…

Love Goes On…
Perhaps you have observed a magician holding a simple ball in his hand, but when he waves the other hand over it in an Abracadabra motion, it transforms into many balls. My brain knows there is a logical explanation for magic tricks but the rest of me doesn’t need to figure it out. That’s the…
