Some of the basic human needs are to be seen, known and understood. Such spaces are like a sheltered cove, allowing us to venture out into the open waters and storms that the challenges in our world, community and life present.

Waterfall
“…and I stood there watching stream after engulfing stream plunge itself over the cliff above into the pool below. I imagined the steady engulfing power of mystery that breaks through our hardened places to destroy the roots of corruption in us. I watched, and the water would not relent.” ~ Kaitlin B. Curtice, Native
