Nią ciphered, siphoned, and summed. The books were in the red and she felt blue.

Thalia thumbed through twenty twenty-two. In just twelve months, the muses and their plucky little Typist had accomplished a thing or two — like conquering cancer and Covid.

“Have we not learned…” Calliope drummed her fingers on the table and looked at Urania, “… that we can make our world… or break our world… with our thoughts? C’mon now… we’ve got stuff to create.”

I cannot recall how the Shyamalan speech came to my attention! It was sometime in the last year and I recall watching it 2 or three times over a couple of days. The “two stories” and “both are true” really grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. So much so that the video was front of mind this morning.

Haha! I did hide under a bushel last week. So glad that darkness has passed. 😅

MNS’ talk is in step with how I choose to frame my life... show up, do the work/play, believe that it will find its way to where it’s meant to go. Do I want to force things sometimes? Not really... and societally speaking that might be considered a flaw? Even while reading Sivers this week I have to keep reminding myself that his path is not my path. Grateful to have his books though to hold up as a guide to follow or not follow.

I think it was you who suggested there are many ways to experience the Universe? Like Frank... apparently I’m insistent on doing it my way! 😂
