16.03: Journal of Thoughts
My Chrysalism I found the first book I ever read in a wilted cardboard box in the loft—a story about a mischievous little girl who lived in an orphanage in Paris, though the orphanage turned out to be a boarding school, which, to a five-year-old, felt much the same. As I opened it (the spine…

14.03 The Oracle’s Cadralor
The Oracle Shouts Spring I. Winter was a sharp howling war, Sunday’s spring was utter calm; a day of molten glory and sun, of nights crowding stars pressed troubled faces upon the sky. II.The sea roiled rough though wind laid calm; thick-flecked with light under the light of stars, a shuffle of sands in lapsing…

13.03.25: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. Lunar eclipse on Friday—March’s full moon is the last winter moon, and it’s called the Worm Moon—and it should be gloriously red because of the eclipse. 2. Ladybirds on daffodils, and yellow bursting out everywhere. 3. The temperature soared to 18°C (65°F) … for two days—and then everything froze again,…

Beyond an Intersection Named After an English King and a SaintSix Sentence Story: Day 12 Part 3 The Question Is The Answer The curtain rises, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary, where tragedy’s shadow precedes its entry; the stage is bathed in moonlit gloom; the towering stone walls of Helsingør Slot silhouette the night sky; mist…

9 March: Journal of Thoughts
Spring Spring Spring The daffodils are blooming. Spring. I had to repeat it several times. Spring. Just to believe it. Mum had set the old family bible on the table—my line-of-sight at that small age, “Our family line all die in the winter,” and she buried the point deep into me with her finger pressing…

07.03 Ex Nigro et Albo Hiemis
Ex Nigro et Albo Hiemis It’s from the east facing window that I watch spring, although this morning’s winter fog obscures the view from anything beyond the windowsill, but no matter—I’m unmoored from gloom by an amber warning to winter that blooms bright as a lantern.

6 March: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. I am thankful for 5 days of sub-zero temperatures (Celsius) and crystal-clear sunny skies. 2. Shrove Tuesday, also known in the UK as Pancake Day. Blueberry pancakes, bacon, and maple syrup. Unfortunately, a headache and my tummy couldn’t stomach the idea, so Shrove Tuesday was moved to Wednesday, and Wednesday…
