Hello there,
To seek goodness in times of trouble is a courageous act of
hope and defiance. It need not be grand but it might be. It will however large or small, weave connection to the soul of a world and tether us to what has meaning. This is where resilience and vision are born.
Seeking goodness, sharing goodness, honoring goodness is a practice worth building. Especially during hard times. It is not frivolous or escapist, but life affirming. Here is some of what my practice as brought me. What
will yours bring to you?
Shall we?
