A landscape with a goat by Gerrit Dou (Dutch, 1613–1675)

i pray i marry a man who sees me as a blessing. a man who's biggest fear is losing me. a man who is gentle with me. a man who will be obsessed with me for decades like when he wakes up in the morning, sees me in wrinkles and gray hair, but still falls for me all over again.

Isn't it interesting how Time doesn't really "pass"? Time simply is. It sits there, unmoving yet unyielding — like a landscape — while we stroll, sprint, and stumble through the vastness of it.

We often imagine Time as something that flows, something that slips through our fingers, but perhaps it's more like terrain: endless, constant, neutral and indifferent.

We chart our lives across it, measure change against it, and yet it remains untouched. We grow older, we move on, we leave things behind — but Time stays. It doesn't rush to outrun us or linger to comfort us.

And maybe that’s why it feels so elusive — because we expect it to move with us, and yet, it's motionless. Time doesn’t pass. We do.

she asked me if i believed in god and i told her that when i was four i almost drowned in a public pool and in my panic mistook a stranger for my father. i clawed my way up his leg. four years later he’d send my parents a picture of the scars alongside a tin of cookies. he said, “i hope she’s still okay. i carry her with me. it isn’t every day you save a life. it isn’t every day you feel like you were here for a reason. when it does happen, you have to cherish that memory. for once, i had a purpose. just being there was enough. she tore me open but she taught me a lot about love.”

What fascinates me is how art and literature become the philosopher’s stone that alchemizes passing moments into timeless monuments — crystallizing the ephemeral into the eternal, turning the personal into the universal.

The Angelic Offering - Demonstrate a Divine Ordinance through physical appearance/creative self-expression, captivating aesthetics, utopian state of dreaming

Queen of the Natural World - Altruistic, intuitive, organic; A supernatural connection with All Living Things - ability to befriend anything Her song summons the whole forest at her monastic command

Defiant Captive - Autonomy and self-regulation; resistive action against any force attempting to control/limit her, will do everything possible beyond to increase the difficulty of her captivity for her captors

Lady of Magic - A Sorceress with a graceful and honourable manner, attractive and alluring veneer. Stays out of love triangles; rather acts as a higher enigmatic guide, wise matrilineal ancestress
