Clarissa,
Bravo! I pray that your work reaches out across the expanse of human consciousness in the same manner as a tree’s majestic canopy.
Thank you for every moment spent in perseverance on this project. There is no doubt that you are in full flower at this time in your life. Your message is profound and important and I will do all that I can to promote your work.
I depart from this interview highly encouraged to continue my own creative journey. No one on earth could have done for me what you just accomplished here! I am deeply indebted and eternally thankful.
Can’t wait to participate in your upcoming course.

Clarissa teaches that genius involves free flowing. It is nourished by a knowing that life is good. A mature ego serves our soul’s yearnings and there is no life without soul.
The dangerous person does not fear scorn and will not give up her gifts to be accepted. We need to learn that there is no one way to be. We can carry new beauty into the World.
Even if we are in a dry season our soul will come roaring back. As we age our wisdom comes into full flower. Our best days are yet to come!
In addition to all of the wisdom expressed Clarissa’s voice is like a beautiful music. Thank you.
