“The word clarity has two meanings, one ancient and the other modern. The Latin word clarus meant clear sounding, ringing out, ‘clear as a bell’; so in the ancient world, ‘clear’ came to mean lustrous, splendid, radiating light. The moon has this kind of clarity when …
The Secret Threads
… Until one day we find ourselves before the landscape, which embodies everything that we have been looking for our entire life; the echo that called us for so long now swells into the sound itself. And we know. Here is the thing that I was made for…
Love, Devotion and Purpose
