Imagine your heart as a vast, open sea, endless in its depth, mysterious in its currents, alive with the whispers of storms and sunsets. To sail these waters, you are given two sacred gifts: reason, the steady rudder that steers with clarity, and passion, the billowing sails that catch the wind of your deepest longings. Alone, each is incomplete; together, they compose the poetry of a life fully lived.

We all carry an inner voice that sorts, labels, and measures.  It tells us what is “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong”, “worthy” or “unworthy.”  This is the discriminating mind, a survival tool honed over millennia to keep us safe.  But in our modern lives, this mental habit often does more harm than good.  It builds walls in our relationships, stifles curiosity, and isolates us in social spaces.
