    “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” — Rumi

    Today’s meditation is on Grief, a palpable force in the world today. Episode photo is of my little sister, Ava, who died tragically in a car accident this year. This episode is in tribute to her and to the unexpected gift that is grief.

    Be kind to yourself…all of yourself.

    Music from the album "Voyage" by Garth Stevenson
