It is what it is...or is it?

I wonder...

Was that just a dream or a dream that was not? The delectable remains of the feast still dance about on my palate, coaxing my appetite toward greener pastures...

No. I must focus. But my focus is elsewhere. I go through the motions and I'm sure no one suspects that I am already long gone.

She is awakened.

From an evanescent dream emerges a grim prophecy. Deep within: bubbling unrest. Strained and compromised, she will be contained no more. She rises up, awesome, the apogee of passion and power.

Embodiment of paradox! She is both resplendent and obscure, sanctified and profaned. She has the capacity to give with compassion or claim without relent.

Monstrous her divinity, dreadful her magnificence, she is the perfect synthesis of all that is most ... read more
