Everything has a voice, speaks a language, and is expressed through metaphor. It contains the Dance of Life; the vibration of Spirit impressing itself within Matter. As we move toward the next phase of consciousness, both Language and Metaphor will expand our ability to cross into the profound; that place we hold as Sacred - our Source.

Orrrr ... Donating even just $3.33 will help keep this adventure going. Only three dollars and thirty three cents (3 is a magic number for me : ) A few green-backs (3 1/3 to be exact) start to add up. So your donation will actually go a longggg way in helping to 'change normal' : )


HELP KEEP THIS ADVENTURE GOING. Consider donating between $3.33 or $33.33 to help make it so. Email me, Vic Desotelle, if you have any questions.
