Holy Hera 🪞🧿✨

The philosopher Plotinus suggested that while the body favors a straight line, the soul hankers for the circle. This mythic, circular time, (which is really no kind of time at all) laughs at the straight line and the alarm clock.~Dr. Martin Shaw, 𝘈 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘦

“But do you ever give yourself a break?”

“𝘐 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯.”

“Well, maybe if you stopped, you’d realize that nobody else is…”

For years I (the human) have been nudging her, “are you sure you want to go with the Electric Lady? I feel like we could do way better than that.” 💀😂

She proves her point when the downloads arrive with an electric current running through me—full-body— like I’ve been plugged straight into source. ⚡️

This poem also belongs in the same collection. It was written from the perspective of my higher self as a direct response to the poem about the dark water.

After such a long period of ambiguity, I was not sure when or if I would ever land somewhere.

It was simply the nature of what I'd asked for.

This poem marks the beginning of the same internal mythology.

The moment the journey was recognized—when the currents first began to form, and the shore of a new world was a vision I was manifesting long before I knew the map.

I haven't heard of that book, I'll have to look into it!

I'm with you, though. They're definitely like little portals!

This was written closer to when I became conscious of the journey.

Written sometime in 2024, I believe, but it belongs with the collection.

A spot appears
on the horizon,

sun slowly
showering
me with
its light,

and I am
still held
gently,

in the arms
of the darkness,

that delivered me.

Is it a fool’s dream
to believe in another—
to rely on them?

For years I had recurring dreams of giant tidal waves.

Now I’m dreaming about peering into tide pools.

It feels like that’s all I did last night.

Just lookin’ at tide pools. 😂

"I've walked through fire
I've danced with pain
I've whispered your name
in the midnight rain.

And though this life
couldn't hold our flame,
I swear the next one
won't end the same.

“Cast yourself. You are the spell.” — T. Thorn Coyle, Evolutionary Witchcraft

Cast yourself. You are the spell. ✨

Almighty mother—
warrior queen
of
transformation...

Weren’t we born
with something
carved into
our bones?

Something
sour—
in our blood?

Something
implanted,
beeping,
primed to detonate,

hidden,
waiting,
wedged
in the grey matter
of our minds?

The Queen studies every square. Agile, aware, and always restrained— because power without discipline is a pawn’s mistake. The Rook moves straight, a creature of conviction, but too rigid to pivot. The Knight loops, the Bishop slides— each trapped by their nature. The King dreams of freedom, but lives by consequence.

Chess — and the quiet art of watching how people move.
Their patterns, their limitations, their instincts.

Not to manipulate.

The deepest form of peace is accepting reality exactly as it is, right now.

As long as there are ideas in this world that can still shock you, they retain the power to pull you out of your life and away from your focus.

It’s difficult work.

But it isn’t impossible.

I kind of like the juxtaposition of weather.

Yesterday I carried my podium desk out to the covered porch and worked while warm rain fell softly around me.

Today I’m in my cozy-ass bedroom, working as snow drifts past the window.

It’s all about how you set the vibe. ✨

It got into the upper 80s yesterday.

Even with three windows open, my bedroom was still uncomfortably warm when I went to bed around 2 AM.

It’s not even noon the next day.

And now it’s snowing. 😂

I pull from the well—
unseen secrets pouring out,
the forbidden truths.

Lost ended something like 15 years ago, but anytime someone mentions dying I respond, “ya gunna die, Charlie” in Desmond’s voice like anyone ever remembers wtf I’m talking about.

I don’t care. Imma keep doing it.

Be dauntless!
Stay sharp, and
keep your wits about you.

Become conscious
of yourself—
as an animal,
and as a god.

And begin moving
through this world
with panache. 💅
