        “I learned that our deepest need is to overcome our aloneness and our separateness. We seek to escape from separateness in various ways. We seek conformity, mistaking it for union. This is a soul-crushing way to exist. Or we seek union through orgiastic states – drugs, alcoholism, overwork – or through creative activities. But the ultimate escape from separateness is through interpersonal union.” ~ Joseph Jaworski, Synchronicity

              Book Overview:  The Alchemist, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids.  Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest.  No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way.  But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within.  Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

                                    I Will Not Die An Unlived Life.

                                      I will not die an unlived life.

                                      I will not live in fear

                                      of falling or catching fire.

                                      I choose to inhabit my days,

                                      to allow my living to open me,

                                      to make me less afraid,

                                      more accessible;

                                      to loosen my heart

                                      until it becomes a wing,

                                      a torch, a promise.

                                      I choose to risk my significance,

                                      to live so that which came to me as seed

                                      goes to the next as blossom,

                                      and that which came to me as blossom,

                                      goes on as fruit.

                                      ~ Dawna Markova

                                        ‎"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left, and live it properly." ~ Marcus Aurelius
