Take time to reflect, meditate, journal, pray. Dig deep and listen to the wisdom that rises up.

I have routinely wrestle with the meaning of life, particularly when unexpected events rattle my equilibrium.

We all carry a certain amount of darkness within us; it is our human condition.

In the still darkness Beneath winter’s frozen field, New roots divine spring
