Circling Toward Wisdom in the New Year
When I send birthday cards to friends, I often write, “May you learn next year’s lessons gently.” I forget that, while I think of time as linear, it’s really a circle, a wheel of evolution and revelation.

Plant gardens with heirloom seeds so that the biodiversity of Mother Earth is increased. Plant gardens to help the bees and [...]
5 Ways To STOP Hoping and START Living: Lessons from Mary Magdalene 13
