carry out; and when they offer him myrrh, which indicates a prophet's death, the Magi invite our hearts to lighten as death loses its hold over our drives and desires.
Sought through yoga, mindfulness, prayer and
sacred study to improve my connection to Spirit as I understood her, intending only for knowledge of Her will for me and the
power to
carry that out.
