Wild Oats and Cornerstones

To heal the fractured birdsong, the injured child, the divided self, the wounded land.
To demythologise the myth, to heal the healer.
Our destination will be where we begin.
The 'end' is the 'beginning'
Only the journey is important.
Through what we see on the journey, how we experience the journey, how we live the journey, we will be prepared for reaching the final space and knowing it for the first time.
The space will not have changed, we will have changed, not by reaching our destination but by making the journey.
