Serenity...

At the entrance to inner peace sits the soul: beautiful, pure of form, devoid of aspiration and silent to the daily fatigue of life.

Is her calm, gentle and humble presence she dispenses harmony, healing and hope.

In her tranquil radiance there is renewal, rest and understanding.

She gracefully awaits the gifts of your anger, pain and fears.

Brimming with the subtle energy of patience and awareness, she urges you to lay the offering of your burdens at her feet and again soar.

In prayer she waits.

Man is more than the sum of the parts and perspectives we have seen of him to date.
Sage. Warlock. Shaman. Sorcerer. Diviner.

He remains the keeper of our flame.
The wielder of the axe.
The alchemist.
The saint.
The transformer.
The destroyer.
The healer.

By chaos he is driven.
By fear he overcomes.
By failure he evolves.
By love he transcends.
By silence he rises and is reborn.

I am...

Within you lies the power to see
The power to be
The power to set free
All that resides in your beautiful mystery.
