And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?

~Rumi

how you decide to engage on any given day is a commitment to the deeper truth of your own aliveness……

inquiry for today~  pause to slow the momentum of figuring it out…..engage to stop the knowing…..to live the truth…..

what is beyond self

Whether its the deserts or the mists, an archetypal landscape can draw us further down the pilgrim road. It can prompt us to examine our inner landscape in new and unexpected ways. The world around us helps to shape the path we take. We follow an inner prompting guided by the Spirit, but the landscape also helps shape our inner geography. Each one can teach a pilgrim if she is listening with her heart.   ~Christine Valters Paintner
