Consciousness Quote by Maureen Calamia
““If each of us wrote our autobiography these experiences would certainly make it to those pages in some form. They are the moments that helped shape our perspective about a relationship or situation, perhaps served as a catalyst to a new calling, or changed their lives in some way. At least that is what I thought. Yes, there were some people that, when asked to discuss a profound nature experience, would immediately recount a story (or several) to share that profoundly shifted them in some way, even on a subtle level. Some even say that there are “so many stories, it’s hard to pick one!” But with some people, I was met with confusion about my request. The response came in the form of another question. “What do you mean by ‘profound?””
