Essence, more than the sum of parts, soul, knowledge, spirit -- there are so many names the essential identity that is the uniqueness that is each one of us. No one way is more correct than another. We each exist in a world we create in connection to all the other worlds through time and throughout space. We come to understand it as best we can. Rebirth, balance, health & happiness, self actualization, tao, acceptance are all ways of we frame the experience of being at peace with that identity.
Some say life is simply the vehicle for that peace.
I have had more than a few flat tires on my vehicle. I always get back on the road.
This is spirituality. It is how we maintain our journey.
If a journey has taken an unfavorable turn then it is best to pause for a moment, get your bearings, listen, and connect with what is around you so that you can set a course to reconnect with that path. Giving yourself the time to just be you, listening within and without, and connecting with respect to the other seem at first to be simple steps but these are slippery, shape-shifting processes that take a lifetime to fulfill. Even if you are fortunate enough to find your place of peace and light , the tasks do not end. Once there you then busy your mortal self with being that peace and giving off that light.

- self-actualization
- the feminine divine
- earth spirits
- poetry
- trance
- meditation
- laughter
- dreaming
- visualization
- journaling
- touch
- relaxation
- openess
