The Landing…
By nature we are seekers. We are curious about the spot where we can fit in and flourish because that place is not always obvious.

Hawk Eyes

Bombarded with influencers, vain and deluded thinkers, paper thin heroes, power hungry leaders, flimflam artists, conspiracy theories, conflicting, divisive ideologies and agendas, andContinue reading “Hawk Eyes”
