‘Soon, sooner than you can imagine, you will be but ash or bones.

And either named or not, even that name is but an echo of that which was.

Such that those things you valued while alive are trifling things.

Only your truth lives on.’

— Marcus Aurelius

I literally hate #bluesky

No fun, no interaction.

Echo chamber if there ever was one.

Plus, I’m weird/have ASD - but wtf people! Have you literally all flipped the fuck out?

‘He made the Earth upon it, and the skies, and very sea’s waters, and tireless sun and shaded moon waxing unto her fullness, and upon it all the constellations that bedecked heaven - the Pleiades and the Hyades, great Orion and strong Arcturus whom men call the Plough,’

‘First he forged a shield that was great and heavy, he threw around it three shinning rims and gilt it with a strap cast of silver. Five folds composed the shield itself and upon it were embossed many things of elaborate craftsmanship,’

— Homer, Iliad

‘The Chair,’

Mine is the eloquence of the wave, wind and fire.

I sing in true metre - songs of prophecy, lore and satire.

A bard with the mind of a mage.

Three times captive in a starry cage.

And at midnight’s stony breech,

When *I* recite, my store of *awen* is sweet.

~

Words leapt forth
from petals' fall,

to a breathless heart
that claimed them all

"Love me," or "Not,"
each whisper sought,

word by word,
a deathless thought

Falling like tears,
or rain set free,

yet still my soul,
though bound, won’t quit—

I love you far
beyond my wit

I must go now, though in time ‘I *will* return,’

Until then, I will leave you all with this -

‘The evil that men shall bear down upon you will only gain purchase if you return that evil back upon them,’

- Marcus Aurelius
