The Imminent Ring ©️
Sai Marie Johnson 2025
The Raven’s shadow left the fearful feast; that momentary craving now has ceased.
All lessons gathered, though the world still sleeps, The knowing heart the sacred secret keeps.
For not today, but soon the true call rings!
The time of silence ends; the spirit sings.
Then all awakened shall be raving bright, Proclaiming truth regardless of the night.
Though much may pass through the current stream, a dizzying, dissolving, present dream; We mark the hour, waiting for the sound, Ignoring all the noise that swirls around.
The waiting is the wisdom, sharp and keen, Knowing the final glory lies unseen,
Until the destined moment all shall bend, and at the end, all will resolve and mend:
A perfect peace beyond the mind's control,
The final truth, embracing every soul.

The New Celibacy: Not Religious-Centered
The conventional narrative of celibacy is often one of religious piety or a temporary state before marriage. But a new and powerful movement is emerging among young women, where celibacy is a conscious choice and a form of protest. This isn’t about shaming sexuality; it’s about exercising agency and autonomy in a world that often seeks to control them. This modern celibacy, or “volcel” (voluntary celibacy), is born from a desire for emotional safety and a rejection of transactional relationships.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
