Dear reader,
Here are the visuals, words, poetry, and art so far that stirred my soul for the month of April:
1. 💻 Open this issue in your web browser (not phone) at a time where you have at least 30 mins to read.
2. ☕ Grab hot tea or coffee
3. 👚 Change into something comfortable and ideally sit against some fluffy pillows, with your computer on your lap at a 45 degree angle
4. Light a candle 🕯️
5. 💨 Take 5 breaths and listen to this meditation
6. Meditate on a question you have and run it by this iching reader
7. 🎵 Press play for music. Listen while you read this issue.
Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink the wild air.
