Loner around millions except you
Being a loner in a world of more than plenty is like playing to find the needle in a hay stack, instead I hope nobody ever finds me in there except for you. You want to know who I’m talking about but I’ll get there. Having an existence in this world without the existing part in anyone’s life is a sweet n sour sauce moment. It’s an ache in my head and soul when the loud silence that sounds like a patient has passed, forced to start a new path on this cruel warm earth, Round or not the same sound sets in my head like a repeat because thats how out of body I am here. The sweet part is everyone wants to be you’re friend ! Oh wait .. you don’t know anything about me or care to learn. You like how my face looks??? Goodbye. Appreciate what humans are able to express from the inside not just the outside, I could have ugliest of the ugly persona and show you my pretty face and you’ll be okay… for now.:)) Being a loner turns you into an observer and everyone around you is just playing the same game. I don’t want to be apart of everyone’s simulations. Let’s have our own thoughts here.

Revisiting the "Pale Blue Dot"
Carl Sagan was a historic American scientist, Pulitzer winning novelist and a popular TV show host, who coined the term ‘Big questions’. This term refers to the questions that would potentially explain the origin of our universe and life as we know it. These questions are generally on the lines of “How did our universe come into existence?” Sagan, in his award winning book and show, ‘The Cosmos’ talks about the vastness of our entire universe. He tells us how the urge to answer these questions about the beginning of our lives is almost a primal need that has driven us to major scientific discoveries and theories, like The String Theory. A recurring theme in Sagan’s ‘Cosmos’ is the insignificance of the human race in our infinite universe. He often talks about how the seven billion people on this planet do not even make up for a percent of our universe, and our minds still comprehend ‘trivial’ issues in our daily lives to be significant. Sagan urges our minds to stretch beyond their limits and find an answer to these ‘Big Questions’, as it is important that there should be an answer to the mystery of our existence.

The Wonders of Strigiformes
Barn Owls? Not at this latitude, but we’ve got ten other owl species that are common: big ones and small ones living in the forest surrounding our home. They can frequently be seen hunting our horse pastures in search of rodents or rabbits. With a meter of snow presently on the ground their hunting techniques adapt to the environmental conditions during the year. During the snow- free time of the year, they hunt on the wing covering a substantial amount of ground quickly. However, in the winter season, they perch on the fence posts or some other location and scrutinize the area in front of them looking for the signs and sounds they have come to know as made by the small furry creatures living under the snow.

"Their Very Own Saint"
My new novel-in-progress begins at the end of May, where a family who trace their roots back to Romani caravans disagree about how best to honour the little lady the Roma count as "Their Very Own Saint" - Sainte Sara-la-Kali, protege of Les Saintes Maries de la Mer - a pair of matriarchs who give their names to a town in the south of France, where Roma and their related Traveller tribes gather in pilgrimage by the sea every year.

Crystals for Beginners
As we gear up to celebrate one year of wellness coming up in February, I must give credit where credit is due. This book was beyond helpful in healing naturally. It has been a blessing! It helped me with my mantras and I have since created some Natural Rx’s based on some of the Crystals and Stones I have learned about in this book. Please check out my wellness page on Facebook! Online Botanica Natural Wellness Shop. Nothing is for sale, I simply share knowledge in all I have learned since I began my Spiritual Journey in February 2021. This is an amazing book for first timers like me, written by Karen Frazier! Thank you for such amazing knowledge, wellness matters and my wish is for more of the world to rely on Nature. I know there are extreme cases but before we rush to pop a pill for our ailments, let’s give Nature a try.
