Welcome!

"Anyone who seeks for meaning in his inner life must therefore learn to listen  with all the discrimination of which he or she is capable for that which he or she recognizes, however dimly, as the ultimately single voice with a thousand names. It comes to us from the ground of our being and brings in a unique way to each individual an intuition of the unchanging oneness of life. It speaks through word or through image and the looking and the listening are ultimately one experience when we have ears to hear and eyes to see. It is our task to "test the spirits" or voices, through the effort of expressing them, perhaps in an audible or visual form of our own, and certainly through the realization of their meaning in our actual lives. We are inspired and carried a long way by the "seers" who have gone before, by great poetry, art and music, and by the creative spirit of all whose lives have touched our own, but ultimately no one of us can hear the voice more than partially without his or her own unique re-creation, whatever its form, and quite irrespective of its merit or importance in the eyes of the many. All our efforts will seem inadequate: we fall again and again into mistakes, inertia, or hubris, but it is the perseverance itself that will sharpen our hearing - not success or failure." -- Helen M. Luke, The Voice Within, in Kaleidoscope: The Way of Woman and Other Essays
