A Brief (ish) History of 2025 & A Glimpse of 2026
Hi folks! As 2025 draws to a close and the new year approaches amid the remnants of the holiday season, it’s time for my end of year post! Looking back it’s been something of a whirlwind from start to finish. When we began the year I did not expect that we would be saying goodbye…

How many years have I stood quietly in Eleusis, shuddering in my memories and not facing my fears? I lingered in the past, much like you did. Lost, broken, forgetting who and what I am. Blaming others for what I had become, when I should have been looking forward to what I could grow into.…

The cage remembers every strike I ever made against it, and it enjoys the memory. I hear the mocking laughter of He in the vibrations. A seam opens near my…
