#12 Dropping Armour
With the clock reset its important to review lessons of what is left behind. A new year comes from fresh perspectives, a lighter version of who we are.
Its not about fixing. It about meeting the self with care and compassion.

#11 Quietly Seeking
Modern western society with its hyper-vigilance brings noise and chatter, that can permeate the soul , drowning out our own voice. A constant drive to find certainty, brings surplus sound in the form of internal and external voices. Exploring the line between quiet and silence is a journey worth taking, on the way we tune into our own heart and become our own best guide.

Keep knocking and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who is there."
