Ancestral Call
Dear Moon, Under your glow I walk tonight; all around me dark and uncertain. Shadow and doubt fighting for grasp. Yet, my faith rests in your power, bright.

Goodbye, Mattress
Dear mattress, As you know, it’s almost 2 a.m., and I’m writing this as I lie a bit awkwardly, hiding under the covers to avoid waking my partner—whom you know very well—with the intense light from my phone’s screen.

Evil Witch or Fairy Godmother?. Top Story - November 2024.

Akari's Wish
Akari's heart pounded as she ventured into the icy wilderness, her mother's life hanging in the balance. Armed with only her wits and a wooden whistle, fashioned to mimic the Tane bird's song, she sought the mythical animal said to grant wishes. From the legend, she knew only that this creature appeared uniquely during the winter solstice, preyed on Tane birds and was utterly undetectable to the human eye. Yet, she remained undeterred, knowing this was her last hope. Her plan was daring, but she knew that the snow, her ally, would reveal the creature's presence.

A Note on Resolutions vs. Intentions Perhaps not many people have experienced this, but as a spiritual person, interested in awareness and personal development, in the past year I've seen a rise of the word "intention" over "resolution".

I'm A Tree (Part II)
A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece called "I'm a Tree". The main theme was that, like trees, we humans go through the seasons in our lives over and over. Each season brings something new, and as we move from one to the other we experience transformation. Winter (literally and metaphorically) may leave us bare, in the cold and dark hours, but we will resist and we will emerge ready for spring and a new beginning to come.
