To be/work/love from a place of true and pure authenticity catalyzes a state of grace beyond linear explanation. It’s a kind of spiritual alchemy... When all stops at the center. When the noise of material life fades and all distracted motivations dissolve... In this place, one sees clearly and choices cannot help but be authentic. You stand at the cocreative edge and hold hands with the universe.
