Their internal beat is like one from another culture – African, Asian, Alien – that is not the 4/4 we Westerners are used to.  Time is of no consequence. Play always, eat whenever, sleep only when legs will no longer run.  Until my [...]

The drafts snaking under the 100 year old [...]

Jour du Journal: Interpreting the Universe

Posted in Journaling Techniques & Prompts, Looking for the Spiritual, tagged , , on September 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
