pearls of wisdom

  "Laughter is the language of the gods." 





You are a child of the earth, wherever you are is home.
If you want to ground yourself, spend more time sitting on the earth 
and listening to what she has to say. 
She's a wonderful teacher, 
but she tends to whisper so you have to listen closely....

Lift a stone and you will find Me."

This you can prevent."
