Spirituality and the Self: Armageddon or Integration?

“To the one who holds the self more dear, entrust its care.”

Wonderings, Lessons, and Gifts

I am 9/10 teacher and 1/10 artist on a blogging journey to coax out my creativity where I’m convinced my shy soul dwells.  Teaching and learning have little distinction for me.  I often ask my students to teach something in order to learn it better.  Writing this blog allows me to explore what resonates and put myself in the teacher/learner seat.  My blog title comes from the adventure, joy, and beauty I experience when my heart waves pick up the presence of the Divine.

            I’ll be looking for your resonance through my wonderings, lessons, and gifts that somehow formed while attending my interior school of wisdom.
