The Earth Principle by Gilles Marin

Earth is. Earth is here and now, the present moment, not in the past, nor in the future, out of time and space but in the eternity of the present. It is that place of stillness between yin and yang, the center of the wheel. 

Enjoy the Spring Season!

We want to wish everyone a wonderful first day of Spring!
