Letting Go with Guy Finley

The sudden touch of hearing, reading, or seeing something True doesn’t so much move us up and into the perfect pitch of Stillness, as does this inner quickening – the ineffable feeling of Forever – sound out, all at once, the music of the spheres within us. And as these celestial notes, silent the moment…

There is nothing as certain as silence, stillness, and solitude to introduce you to the secrets of yourself.

The magic, the power, and the true purpose of all our relationships in life: to help us and to help each other outgrow whatever stands in the way of perfecting our love for one another.
