Nothing more need be said in support of the enigma of life.

It is most powerful when we explore together

Evolution of life as we know it seems to depend on an unceasing interplay of division and unification.

Says Rumi:  Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes.  If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed.  Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two a beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings.  This is good reason to celebrate both our ups and downs!

Above all, this is a conscious process.
​Awareness matters:

Could it be that everything we think is real is at least partially an illusion created by our minds?

Complex associations of thoughts, feelings, & responses based on past experience create our personal "reality."  Simply by slowing down and observing, without judgment, the process of the mind we begin to construct a new mindset, one that more and more reflects our present moment experience. Activating feelings associated with past insecurities while grounding ourselves in a sense of OKness ("in this moment I am safe, I matter, and I belong, no matter what is or was being felt or thought"), helps us to tolerate troublesome feelings and allow them to move through us.
