“Where did your drive most reside as a child? What intrigued you…ran you wild?
The arts? Nature? Folktales? The curiosities?

Seems many of us lost what was golden, once we left our nests and ventured society.
Accumulated anxieties.. the summation of propriety.

Innocence as a child was the golden key to what made us feel most at home, safe.
Rediscover that internal key to bring you back to that safe place.”
