This post explores the complex relationship between fascination and fear in our engagement with the metaphysical. An ancient stone altar shrouded in mist, evoking myst

Gentleness One day Fawn heard the Great Spirit calling to her from the top of Sacred Mountain. Fawn immediately started up the trail. She didn't know that a horrible demon guarded the way to the Great Spirit's lodge. The demon was trying to keep all beings of creation from connecting with the Great Spirit.

The Path to Self-Discovery I suppose I should start by giving some backstory. I was baptized Catholic as an infant and attended many different denominational churches throughout my life. From a very young age, my life felt like an uphill battle. If I wanted anything, it seemed I had to fight tooth and nail for it. One of my favorite sayings growing up was, "Father never gives us more than we can handle." I would often respond, "I just wish he didn't have so much faith in me."

When we honor all aspects of ourselves—from the smallest creature to the towering trees and the vast land—we honor our own existence. In essence, it is about remembering how to be truly human. In our modern world, we often become self-centered and disconnected. We forget that
