This chant is some Hindu thing which is supposed to really help. It isn’t a Christian teaching and it is not meant to be an attack on Christianity as far as I can tell. It’s meant to help resolve financial issues: I need to make being a writer financially support me – or else I [...]
Never could I have imagined that one day I would have chronic pain so bad that I would have to survive on pain medication. Not in a million years would I have believed that my physical lifestyle would alter so drastically. I loved to dance. I took ballet and modern dance classes. I was also an [...]
And they sing. With voices the color of buttercups and vanilla. Lifted and soaring, low and urgent. Telling a story, telling every story, telling a story I’ve never heard. Spinning deftly into my soul.
