This man is in the moment. No hurry. Totally taken. I think he needed a miracle and he got it. I was moved to awe, laughter, tears, laughter and awe, both of the rainbow and his total presence to the moment. The original video of 3 minutes might feel long, but I encourage you to let […]
Quote from Integral Spirituality by Terri O’Fallon
