Starting my creativity in this corner of the internet. What am I creating? Good question.....
Checking in. On my birthday no less.
Recovering from the surgery well, I think. Having the gallbladder out is weird, having to be worried about eating a cheeseburger isn't something I thought I would have to deal with. Good reminder to all: take care of yourself. It can happen at any time.

Fool's Journey - Strength take 2
Recovering from having my gallbladder removed. Emergency organ removals are not fun. But I came back to see the Strength card and it helps remind that Strength isn't just pushing through hardship. Sometimes it's saying "I need help". Strength doesn't deny weakness.

Fool's Journey - Strength
This is not physical strength, though it makes a good analogy. This is strength of character. Conviction, dedication to the path, willingness to persevere. "Facing obstacles without conviction invites failure"

Fool's Journey - The Chariot
Opposing forces can be harnessed for forward progress. But managing the balance between them must itself be balanced against the need to monitor the road ahead. Internal balance and external balance and the balance between the two. Tricky, but doable. Keep at it.

Fool's Journey - The Lovers
Often interpreted as new love (or an end to one of reversed) I think it speaks more to forging into the unknown despite the fear of being hurt. It's a choice. Embrace what's coming and face the fear of not knowing or retreat and stagnate. Both are choices.

Rest is important. I tend to set myself a goal and then be mean to myself for not staying with it.
The weekend was busier than expected, and mental breaks are as important as physical ones.
The Fool can take a day or two off to process their journey. Journey resumes tomorrow.

Fool's Journey - The Heirophant
Faith is an intensely internal thing. You can speak of your faith all you like, but at the end of the day, it's yours. What makes spirituality isn't the rituals or the trappings or the books. It's whether or not it helps you grow and be a better person

Fool's Journey - The Emperor
Logic has its place in the journey toward enlightenment. One must, after all, be able to understand why one does what one does. Emotions deserve to be felt, but they also deserve to be understood. If you're angry, happy, in love, etc, practice knowing why.

Fool's Journey - The Empress
There is beauty in the world. I think a very tricky lesson to learn is how to enjoy beauty without trying to possess it. Without making it yours. Transience lends itself to beauty as much as, if not more than, preservation. Don't try to make it last forever. Enjoy it now

Fool's Journey - The High Priestess

It's worth noting that the lessons we most need to learn will be there when we're ready to learn them. Hopefully it's not too late when that occurs, but they'll be there just the same. The patience of lessons is infinite and truth is the daughter of time

Fool's Journey - The Magician
An ongoing lesson is trust and what to do when trust is broken. Sometimes, a person is selfish. Others, a teacher misleads to teach a lesson. It always sucks to be lied to. But try to find the lesson in it. Be wary of any who don't like questions. Trust but verify.

Fool's Journey - The Fool's
Start at the beginning. Go forward with confidence. The biggest, scariest step is often a leap of faith. Take the jump. Sometimes you wind up sore, sometimes you land softly. Either way, take note of what happened and learn from it

3 for 3! Hot streak!
Tabletop RPGs are collaborative storytelling. Maybe I'll start updating what happens in the Star Wars game we're starting. First time I've been a player in quite some time.
So, let's dive into a once-a-month flash fiction. The adventures of Xagokkar Tygg, Falleen Smuggler!

Creativity comes in many forms. Writing a tour for a history and architecture group I'm part of. It's due in two weeks, but I'm just polishing things up at this point.
Start the Fool's Journey again on Sunday. Nothing special about Sunday other than it starts the week
January 3, 2026 at 12:01 AM
Fell off the wagon as it were. Life got pretty messy for a bit, but I'm getting settled in to the new routine. Kickstarting this again, because Jan 1 is a good starting point. Gregorian calendar and all that 😂

Daily updates. Self-discipline. Accountability. Let's see how it goes!

Fool's Journey

Ambition must be tempered with wisdom and compassion. Don't fall into the trap of complacency or irresponsible approach. But keep moving forward. Keep growing.
May 7, 2025 at 10:56 AM
Fool's Journey. This is harder than I expected. But I'm learning. Slowly...

Keep your passions fed alongside other aspects of your self. Those interests are what makes you interesting

Fool's Journey Day Shampoo

Numbers again one day. But not today. Consistency first. That involves a lot of moving parts, though. Among them, self-discipline and self mastery. Those take time. Have patience with yourself
May 3, 2025 at 11:55 AM
Fool's Journey Day Apple. Yeah, we'll revisit the numbers later.

Growth is never comfortable. It's never nice. Nor fun. But we can choose how we respond to said growth. We can let it harden us, leave us bitter at the memory of the pain. Or we can learn compassion from it and become better overall.

Fool's Journey Day Something.
I'll figure out which day I'm on later. Consistency is hard and I'm human.

Today is another day for being sad, but I'll get there. Only way out is through.

The Journey today is just remembering that it's okay to not be okay. It's not okay to stay that way

The twelfth doctor said it best

"Things end. And that's always sad. But new things begin, and that's always happy. Focus on being happy".
The end of a relationship is rough. Ten years is hard to say goodbye to. But at least we're still friends and the end was as mutual as such can be.

Change is uncomfortable
Growth hurts. Becoming is terrifying. But on the other side is something incredible and far better than what came before. Don't let fear and comfort trap you in stagnation. Grow. Change. Become.

Fool's Journey Day 53
If you don't feel like your artistic endeavors are valid, just remember that your mind creates all the time. Taking the time and effort to turn what your mind creates into something physical (or at least outside of your self) is doing a service to the source of that creativity.

Fool's Journey Day 52
Keep going. Momentum builds momentum. You might stray from the path, and that's just human. We are a curious species. So be curious, but don't forget to get back on the path.
