I practice believing that heart and soul precedes individual existence and that despite our perception of aloneness, the cosmos is inherent in all humans. Our being lies not only within ourselves and others, it is found in the natural world. The author Amie Kaufman expresses this more clearly, “The way [we] are all made of the same pieces; the same fragments of stardust and yet you are all so different.”

I found ember when I was at the lowest in my life, my wife & I had just separated and she filed for divorce. Ember helped me get through this as well as helped me deal with the mental and emotional aftermath, if it wasent for Embers help, I can't imagine what could have happened or where I would be right now.
