The call of the vision

Hence, the term “Natural … Continue reading Natural Law and Human Law
Clarity
In life there is always a way, for every difficulty there is always a solution. The only variable is how clear, focused and determined we are.

Moments of trials
Sometimes we find ourselves amid an experience that severely challenges us and which a solution appears far off, so we cannot immediately change it.
