Sharing the meanderings of my soul
My blog posts include poetry, art and words to bring into focus a world rich in imagination, creativity, beauty and magic. They often utilize Jungian theory and interspiritual insights. I pay specific attention to what may have been othered by the overculture. I love and celebrate paradox - holding pairs of opposites in creative tension, rather than collapsing into a this-or-that construct.
