The energy of Mother Earth is always in a state of flux and I hope she’s more hopeful than sad when she pauses, as only Mother can do, and takes note of her/our current state of affairs. Is She happy with her humans and our efforts to preserve and protect? Is she disappointed and knows […]
Easter, Passover and the Divine Yoga Dance
