Never be afraid of who you are.

Deep within the human experience lies a universal fear that quietly shapes our choices, relationships, and dreams.

I love reserving the silent meditations for Sundays. And while today's Hafez quotes are great for leading us into silence, they make me hopeful for humanity as well.  Hafez was a Muslim Sufi who lived in Iran during the 1300's, just after "The Crusades" when all of the Christian and Muslim world was at war … Continue reading Become like one who is awestruck and nourished listening to a golden nightingale sing.

His words challenge … Continue reading I am afraid that you still think you have a thousand serious moves to make.
