Where love becomes more than touch… it becomes music.
A rhythm beneath the skin, a quiet unfolding of everything we thought we were.
Marvellous Igwe reminds us how we arrive whole only after we’ve opened.
This is what it means to be alive.
To feel deeply. To love fully. To become.

Last Friday we opened the year with wisdom, foresight and blessings, today we move into the cypher of page poems, of truth lost and found in btw the white lines of black ink. With cashatriya the divine. Yes indeed. Yes. Be there! Be there!
