"It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey." —Wendell Berry
| Welcome to my ever evolving website! The path of transformation is a gift to self and others and is the most important journey you will ever make. The path of transformation takes courage for often it means facing into our loss and pain. We have to both honor and let go of many familiar defenses and beliefs that were often created for our own protection but that are no longer serving us. By letting go and trusting we begin to widen our perspectives and awakening to a more authentic reality. Although there are breathtaking vistas on the path of transformation, there are also pitfalls and dangerous detours. Having guidance helps the inner traveler keep moving in a positive direction, speeding the work, and reducing the dangers. The moments of greatest learning and transformation are usually accompanied by discomfort, fear, confusion. To learn to live with the not knowing is to live with mystery. Great guidance comes to us from being in the place of not knowing. It means to risk entering the discomfort but the rewards are great if we are courageous enough to walk into the unknown. The path of transformation eventually leads to a pervasive reverence for life, a sense that all of creation is sacred. When we take the journey inward we have the opportunity to become more loving, clear-seeing and wise. This leads us to experience the world differently, and to therefore think and act differently, leading to our becoming better caregivers of ourselves, our families, our communities and the planet. Transformation at the level of the individual is the one social action we can all take. Change your mind, change the world. Be the Change and take an inner action.
