With Love and Reverence

But with you, there is no ash,

Just Light.

Listening to a Deeper Way

“Walking,

-Linda Hogan

-Robert Frost

“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.  From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”

-J.R.R. Tolkien
