I never really knowuntil it pops into my mind. The theme for this issue is passion. Ifirst came to that theme after seeing Van Morrison in concertback in April. Anyone that knows me will tell you that his musicresonates with me. What really resonates is the passion I feelwhen I hear his music. So what is passion? Perhaps passioncould be looked at as a high energy we connect with when weopen our hearts. We connect with this energy at a deep soullevel, and it encompasses our whole being. I believe just asbeauty begets beauty, passion begets passion. I look over mylife and see the people I enjoy being with and they are all verypassionate people. Whether they are friends, work associatesor my yoga instructors, all of them are passionate in what theydo or how they live.I believe that I live my life with passion in many ways. Foralmost six years, one of those ways has been to be the ownerof A Touch of Serenity. My passion for what we have done therehas carried me through a lot of difficult times and a lot of changes.Never did I waver or enter the thought of closing. I always hada knowing that I was doing the right thing. Just as I had thatknowing, I now know it is time for me to step aside. The passionis still here; it is just time for others to allow their hearts to opento it. When I chose this theme I never dreamt I would be writingthese words, but sometimes things happen quickly in my world.Within a few weeks of deciding I was done, what I believe to bethe right people offered to buy A Touch of Serenity. Barbara Tisiand Mark Dressler will be the new owners, and there is nodoubt in my heart that they will continue to run with the samepassion that has been there from day one. I have been askedby a lot of people what I plan on doing. Trust when I say that thepassion I live is not gone, but will be channeled in other directions.One of those directions will be to take the Journey toanother level. I will have more time to expand and continue tofulfill our mission in doing our part to help heal the world. Maywe all live our passion and find the purpose of our lives.Namaste, ClydeTHIS ISSUE’S FEATURE STORIESExclusive Wayne Dyer Interview 4By Allison ConteSomewhere Between Peter Pan& Louis Pasteur 6By EvsttarrVisiting Hell...But Choosing Not To Stay There 8By Clyde ChaferNatural Passions: The Logic Of The Heart 10By Carol J.
