~ W. B. Yeats
I’m not a “follower” of astrology, but MANY years ago something occurred that led me to respect the wisdom there.

Recently, I included some information about transformation from J. Krishnamurti in my clergy “Insight’s” article.

“At This Time”

By Debra Basham, on July 5, 2017 This morning as I am so grateful for making time to get my fingers on the keyboard as my “to-do-list” grows longer and my time-table grows shorter.

The spoken word is most often expressed with a slight bow while holding your hands in prayer pose — hands together, fingers pointed up, and pressing your thumbs slightly into the xiphoid process.
