Facing the Songs Within Us
It is often easy to turn our back on the song within, on the interior silence and interior chaos. It is easy, but we’re poorer for it. When we turn our back on our gift, we turn our back on life.

– Roderick MacIver, Art as a Way of Life
Now more than ever nature is calling us to dive deep and courageously see the truth. To face each other and ourselves.
