Tidal, Volcanic and Uncontainable

Within every one of us is the same primal life force

There is something within every human being that is timeless, universal, and divine.

This something has been called by many names since language first began, but it does not need a name in order to exist.

Indeed, it existed long before words, a naturally occurring primal force. Like gravity. Or wind. Or the way rivers run to the sea.

This pre-existing force — tidal, volcanic, and uncontainable — is the raw energy inside a human being that activates the ancient quest to experience what life is really all about.

“The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen.” — Rumi

And because the full expression of this unquenchable energy can be profoundly uncomfortable and crazy-making, most of us find a thousand ways to mask or distract it.

Bottom line, we end up looking for love in all the wrong places and wonder why the experience our heart aches for all-too-rarely reveals itself.
