Nurture your inner monk & surrender to the natural grace & rhythm of your heart's deepest longings.''''The whole world is, in fact, a text of sacred revelation. All experience has the potential to be revelatory, and God is singing one unending song seducing each of our hearts. So the call is to listen, to attune to the words God utters in the world.''''
