"May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing, no holding back,
the way it is with children." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
WELCOME
Hi, I’m Allyson — your host, travel companion, and lifelong pathfinder. The journeys we take here don’t require suitcases or boarding passes — only curiosity, an open heart, and a willingness to wander within.
​
For more than five decades, I’ve been exploring the many landscapes of spiritual understanding — mapping the paths of awakening, collecting stories and truths, and learning to listen to the quiet wisdom of the soul. Each stop along the way has revealed a little more of what I now know to be the real destination:
​
Remembering who we truly are.
​
My purpose — and the heart of Avenues of Knowing — is to help you find your True Self, connect with your Higher Self, and navigate life with greater clarity, compassion, and joy. Together, we’ll explore ideas that awaken awareness, practices that bring balance, and perspectives that remind you of the divine traveler within.
​
So wherever you are on your path, consider this your invitation to journey inward — to rediscover the map that’s always been written in your own heart.
Ready for the ride? Let’s go!

LIFE IS A JOURNEY
​
No two maps are alike. Each of us navigates our own winding roads — sometimes clear, sometimes foggy, always full of meaning.
We learn, unlearn, pause, and press on. The beauty is in the discovering — not just of the world around us, but of who we really are.
That’s the spirit of this place: an ever-evolving map of the inner journey.
​
​
PURPOSE
​
Avenues of Knowing was born from a lifelong desire to gather wisdom — to build a living archive, a treasure chest of inspiration and clarity.
​
These writings, reflections, and creative explorations are meant to remind us that life isn’t about merely getting by — it’s about growing, thriving, and awakening to our higher nature.
Together, we can navigate this great adventure with heart, humor, and wonder.
​
​
LET'S GET A MOVE ON!
​
So lace up your curiosity and step into this Adventure of Awakening.
Each Avenue offers its own landscape — stories to explore, lessons to reflect on, and signs to guide you home to yourself.
Welcome to Avenues of Knowing ... Your journey starts here.
