“Stillness enters, quiet need to hear our own soul speak from deep within.  Awakens the knowing that is hushed in the waking dream of reality.  Speaks to inner being.  Wraps us in a cloak of sympathy when our spirit is in need of comfort.  Offers the uplifting we need to reconnect to all parts of our being.”  Valerie Worwood
