Question: how does one resolve the seemingly contradictory notions that on one hand, God/consciousness is everywhere in everything equally, and on the other, some places and some people are more sacred and holy than others?

If we’re chewing on that Forbidden Fruit then we’re all full of judgements: good, bad, right, wrong. It’s exhausting and life becomes work and misery. But if we just stop judging in…
I’ve always been interested on the creative process itself as much as artistic outcomes. It’s the magic of something from nothing. The mystery of that. The spark of inspiration that calls us to follow where it leads – one trusting step after another. The unpacking and unfolding the tender seed of an idea. In this…
