"I find that there is majesty in rituals and celebrations when the intention is about honouring the moment: the moment of birth; the moment of marriage; the moment of death; the moment of hope when wishing anew at the start of a new year. And always, simply always, the moment when we fall in love again...." The trip of a thousand miles does start with the first step. Anya Ushakova-Crain An Intentional Life |
