This is a personal journal: lessons from me to me, explorations of my opinions and mind. You are welcome, though I am the intended audience. Thank you for sharing in my journey with me.
I just got back from a trip where I spent a few months with an older apprentice of mine. We talked about where things were going, and the new challenges that come with life at 50. The conversation transitioned to generational needs on a spirit level and how they change. There was a lot of […]
The moons Ashla and Bogan do not generate light themselves, merely reflect it. Likewise our ability to understand the duality is a reflection, or perhaps more appropriately a projection of two conditions of life: a condition of severity and a condition of luxury.
