Resistance and Winter’s Gift

Last night I had the deep blessing of sitting with one of my soul-sisters around a prayer fire.  Sharing of love and gratitude blended with concerns and grief over the shifting winds in our world.  Today, my husband and I began watching “The Man in the High Castle” — an alternate-reality series depicting the history of America if the Nazis had won WWII.  In the … Continue reading Resistance and Winter’s Gift
