Since 13 years have passed (13 being the number of the divine feminine), it feels like the right time to talk about being in downtown Manhattan on September 11, 2001.

So much can happen while you’re in flight.

I’ve always been fascinated by symbols, patterns, and interpretation. I remember as a kid buying a book about how to read Egyptian hieroglyphics.
