icche dana

A word is dead when it is said, some say.
I say it just begins to live that day.
--Emily Dickinson :)

Words. Words make up the staff of our daily lives. Yet, words, mundane words, take on a whole new life when touched with the gossamer wings of desire. Yet in this technosavvy glocal culture, immeresed in the daily business of Life, we have long lost track of our essential creative yearnings.

It is time now to listen to our hearts... to give voice to those long slumbering dreams -- those silenced wishes our hearts still pine for.

Come let us spread our wings wide and soar high on Icche Dana - the gossamer wings of desire. The boundless blue sky awaits us. The clouds are drenched in rainbow hues. Let us begin anew... & travel beyond the ordinary to the realms of fancy.

Happy journey!!
