To those who would call me strange, I say that I would rather be your kind of strange than mine because, to me, strange is denying the truth of our nature. To me, strange is ignoring the pull of the moon’s tides in our veins simply because we can’t yet measure its influence. Strange is […]
Did you know that you have Divine beginnings? You were born of endless potential, made up of stardust and love mixed with rainbows and fire. You came from everything and nothing, everywhere and nowhere. You are a child of the Divine. Though you once rested in the arms of heaven; you knew that there was […]
