The Weight of Parchment Dust
The air in the Grand Archive tasted of paper and time, thick and still. Elias ran a hand over the spine of a leather-bound tome, the cool, dry skin of the book a familiar comfort, a familiar curse. Seventy-three years. He’d walked these aisles, breathed this dust, cataloged these silent histories for seventy-three years. Every creak of the ancient floorboards, every rustle of a turning page, every cough from the lone night guard down the hall, they were whispers. Always whispers. Not from the living, no. From the dead. From the words themselves, accusatory, knowing.

Finding Your Voice in a World That Talks Too Much
We live in a world that never stops talking. Notifications buzz, opinions flood timelines, podcasts play in the background, and everyone seems to have something to say about everything. Noise has become the soundtrack of modern life. Yet, in the middle of all this constant chatter, many of us struggle with a quiet, unsettling question: Where is my voice in all of this?

Metanoia:
I am not a woman. I am not a man. I am God — consciousness experiencing itself through human form. For generations, humanity has been told to look upward for divinity, to bow to power that sits outside of us. Yet the true message hidden in scripture — buried under translation and fear — has always pointed inward. “Repent,” Jesus said, but he was not demanding guilt or submission. The Greek word was *Metanoia,* and it meant “change your mind.” Upgrade your perception. Transcend the illusion that you are separate from the Divine.

The Power of Speaking Your Truth
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when silence begins to feel heavier than words. It may arrive quietly—through a knot in the chest, a lingering regret, or a growing sense of invisibility. Speaking your truth is not always easy, but it is often necessary. It is an act of courage, self-respect, and emotional liberation. In a world that frequently rewards conformity and comfort over honesty, choosing to speak your truth can feel radical. Yet, it is one of the most powerful choices a person can make.

The Last Thing We Did Together
I leave the message at 11:43 every night because that’s when you used to come home. I don’t remember deciding that. It isn’t written anywhere. No alarm goes off. My body just knows when it’s time, the way it knows when to swallow or flinch or stop reaching for your side of the bed.

Now Be Thankful
Introduction The inspiration for this was the Fairport Convention song, and while I feel we should be thankful for things in our lives, we should not just accept the bare minimum in things, but we should always be part of what makes things better for us.

The Power of Being Heard
In a world overflowing with opinions, updates, notifications, and endless streams of content, the idea of being heard can feel both simple and impossibly complex. We speak more than ever—through social media posts, voice notes, comments, emails, and messages—yet many people feel deeply unheard. The paradox of modern communication is this: despite having countless platforms to express ourselves, true listening has become rare. The power of being heard, therefore, is not just about speaking louder or more often; it is about meaningful recognition, validation, and connection.

The Shard Below
The cold seeps into my bones quicker these days. Not just the ocean cold, though God knows there's plenty of that down at six hundred feet. No, this cold is older, colder. It's in the marrow, a reminder of what I saw, what I did, what I *didn't* do. I'm too old for this, my hands shaking even before I clip the lines, but I keep coming back. Gotta keep coming back.

When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words
Introduction In a world overflowing with noise—notifications buzzing, opinions flying across social media, and conversations happening at lightning speed—silence has become rare. We are encouraged to speak up, react instantly, and share everything we feel. Yet, amid all this constant expression, silence often carries a power that words simply cannot match. Silence can heal, provoke, protect, and even speak truths that language fails to capture. When used intentionally, silence becomes not an absence of communication but a deeper, more meaningful form of it.

The Gardener's Sin
Elias kept to himself, always had. The old house, tucked away at the edge of town, became a silent fortress, a shell around the strange, pulsating heart of his obsession. Most folks figured he was just eccentric, a man who preferred dirt to company. They didn't know about the garden. Couldn't imagine it.
