Welcome to Reconnecting Within!

This is called reconnecting within because thru my travels and experiences I have reconnected within.  Reconnected with what?  With my true self – a weird and wonderful blend of human, divine, earthly and cosmic.

As I traveled I took pictures, feeling inspired to share these special places and spaces with others.  As I have continued to do this I find I am also sharing my love and appreciation and deep honour for this magical planet and for the places that have given me so much.

So this website and space is a celebration of the wonder and beauty and power of incredible Gaia.  It is a celebration of my own journey and experiences.  And it is an offering to enable others to peer thru windows into distant lands and spaces, and maybe jump into them…

It is also an act of service to these places and to Gaia as they seek to reach out and touch and bless All in these times of great change and transformation.  Allow the images here to speak with you through the language of feeling and through your imagination.  They have much to communicate, many gifts to share.  I believe that as we allow these places to touch us, we are spreading their energies wider and helping the whole planet to become one big sacred site.  In doing so, we also heal the past.

Connecting with the vast natural beauty that surrounds us can bring about states of deep and pure presence, clearing our mind and bringing us into our present moment because it looks and feels so great that we simply want to be here, on earth right now, using our senses to soak it up!  This presence is the inner place where we find true inspiration.  In nature we can also feel the pulse of creation, if we dare to be this open.  When we feel this we instantly recognize ourselves as a part of this pulse and it removes the illusion of separation that causes so much suffering.  This is one of the reasons we can feel such peace and joy in nature, whether it is the stars or the dawn light or a swift river that we are connecting with.

Thank you for visiting,

Namaste

P.S. The images here purely and simply capture a moment as it is.  There has been no digital manipulation.  The front door image (and the border throughout the site) was taken one evening in May 2004 in a relatively unvisited valley in the central section of the Peruvian Andes, a beautiful place called the Huancayo Valley.
