Self-Realization
Self-realization is the journey toward fulfilling a large measure of one’s own human potential. Eastern cultures recognize an added and essential component of spiritual transcendence—an embodiment of the “higher self” that moves beyond ego. Digging deep within oneself through self-awareness, self-exploration, self-compassion, and self-mastery opens an avenue to removing fear, separation, and suffering, allowing ourselves to live to the fullest expression of our souls.

Poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into an idea, then into more tangible action.
