Medieval Templars and the cistercians venerated this remarkable disciple of Christ, whose legacy is cloaked in subtle symbols due to the church’s distortion of her role in the passion…

Growing Up Human

Coming of age means different things to different folks. The word ‘maturation’ carries myriads of meanings also.

Baby mammals grow at astounding rates to reach reproductive maturity, while life cycles…

If you have ever had windows replaced in your abode, you know how may ways it can go wrong –awry — sideways, (everything from mis-calculations and broken seals to gaps and warps).

Sedona’s In-Between Place

On this summer solstice, I am bathing in the stillness of in-between.
