The second day of the second workshop was about meditating on the four elements of nature. We were instructed to do this while floating in the water, or sitting with […] In the midst of gathering darkness, light becomes more evident. ~ Bonnie Bostrom Over the past couple of weeks I have found myself very busily engaged with an internationally known philosopher in some deep philosophical questions. Our lively explorations grew out of a quotation he saw in my on-line bio. “What’s in the […] It was very late in the evening, but before calling it a day, I was diligent to wash some fresh lettuces that had been gifted to me by a friend.
