Strange as it may seem to those of you who are reading this post, I decided I would allow my feet to decide where I would go.
As I looked down the street, my vision became more and more tunneled. I had the sense I was entering a long walkway covered on the sides and above by flowering trees. Continue reading “My Spirit Led Journey”
