My grandmother passed away when she was one hundred years old. Until she fell, when she was ninety eight, my Nana had a clear mind, still drove a bit, and lived alone. Unable to get at-home services in rural Maine, within months, […]

Gerald R. Stanek | Skylight
“How long is this corridor, anyway?” he asked. The attendant said nothing but continued to lead the way. A thick fog rolled along the floor, as if billowing from a hidden smoke machine. “Do you not have any feet? Not that there’s anything wrong with that if you don’t.

That is what a spiritual partnership is: a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth.” – Gary Zukav MORE.
