Consecration

I am building a memorial for my dog – just installing a marble temple on her grave. It is to consecrate the relationship we shared with her – of unconditional love for one another. It might not hold any meaning for anyone after I die, because the value lies in my mind. There are people … Continue reading Consecration

Never-ending

What am I made of? This question blows the hell out of me. I’ve been through some past life regression sessions, and saw a few scenes stored like pages in the memory of the soul.

Travel guides gain expertise in the art of storytelling. I unpeel layers of a story cooked up in an ancient pan, written … Continue reading Search for Truth
