This online space was created out of a genuine, personal desire to practice writing. I’m approximately an early middle-aged adult (well, trying to be an adult) and a homeschooling parent to one child. I feel that for most of my life, I have been unclear about what path to take and what to focus on. The modern world has so many options but all so devoid of depth, of meaning.

As a child, I was interested in ancient cultures and the mysterious but that interest was never cultivated. I can remember so well wanting to “have knowledge” but knowledge of what, I couldn’t define. I also remember very well as a child that feeling, when being in nature, that caused you to dream and believe that something exciting was going to happen.

I remember it now because I can feel that again after having regained it when I was 29 years old due to a sudden, obsessive interest in wild plant identification. That interest, which was a calling to connect with Nature, the Source, completely changed my behaviour, my habits and perspective of being alive. And my perspective continues to evolve and expand.

From teenage years into all of my 20’s I suppose I was dulled down, sufficiently brainwashed by pop culture and common narratives. I was self-destructive and had no mental clarity or direction. However, in spite of that, my desire for higher learning still had some strength as I managed to complete an undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Politics, with honours all while being a server for a high-end catering company. I then was accepted to pursue a master’s degree in philosophy to two different universities but I declined in realization that these supposed “institutions of higher learning” are for the most part centres for brainwashing and do not at all foster true realization or education. I don’t hold high value in my degree. After four years in “academia” I still could not write very well and my reading comprehension was very poor. I’m learning to cultivate the latter on my own accord, through my own desire.

So now, I’m picking up my original inclination in pursuit of a more profound experience of life. Although, taking on the responsibility of being a full-time parent (it is literally all of the time – this is why most parents prefer to work than raise their own children, its easier and you get more time to yourself) opportunities to read and write are sparse. But I do try to make it count when I can.

FESTINA LENTE.

If I had to make a list of words to describe what topics interest me it would be:

– Philosophy (the love of Wisdom, the divine entity whose body we live on)
– Nature
– animism
– beauty
– ancient cultures and mythology
– personal power
– the mind
– human purpose and potential
– life in general and the expansion of awareness through true learning

If you took the time to read this, thank you, and I hope that you found it relatable.
