“Soak your Soul, it is all you will ever need to know. Stay there- embrace each and every moment as a kiss from great spirit.

This time, tender to the heart
embraced by the Soul
it is all we really need to know.

Open to love's embrace. Know, with all your heart and all your Soul
you are loved.

Open your heart, and watch life ignite. Feast in joy, be in love, release it all to the moment and be at peace.”
