The Cosmic Compass

One of the biggest challenges these days is often finding meaning and purpose to what they’re doing.  Life is very busy but when we get a chance to think about things like: Am I having fun yet?  Do I have a sense of meaning and purpose with all this activity

About cycles A New Moon (as discussed a couple of weeks ago) is the beginning of a cycle.  Every cycle (I do mean EVERY – not just lunar or planetary ones but many of life’s events) has a number of critical points represented in the moon’s monthly cycle as new,
