and Awareness and Presence and Silence
wonder through and among tall ancient forest trees
and stalk bedrooms across the lands
like a divine trinity
whispering secrets to whoever will listen
sprinkling the magic of Awe into the eyes of children Continue reading →

The Once and Future Human

Posted on April 13, 2010 by Larry Glover
