"The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it." - Carl Jung "If you don't like the stories you're telling, tell better stories." - Leigh McCloskey "All art intuitively apprehends coming changes in the collective unconsciousness. Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain." - Carl Jung "If it were not for solitary and secret experiences, I would not have lived half my life." - holmeswriter “No one reading can ever exhaust the full potential (of any given text), for each individual reader will fill in the gaps his own way.” - Wolfgang Iser "Fairytales do not tell children that dragons exist, children know that dragons exist. Fairytales tell children that dragons can be killed." -G. K Chesterton I am a shadow fairy, facing the sun. / As Eden fell, my mother rose / And birthed me on a shadowy plain. / She was too beautiful to hold me, / And I floated away on a mortal's dream / To a dank place under a stone fountain's rim. / There I have thrived for centuries. / Pearls of black are my ovaries, / And witchly green are my fingers, / But the blooms I bear are violet. / So here I let my hair down, / And share with you the rich, tragic songs of my heart. / Orpheus I am not, but they do say / That I might be a Eurydice. Hello to you. Thank you for reading my profile and poems and stories. My art on this site is a treasured secret that I do not share with anyone else in my world but you. But I also say to you: there is nothing new under the sun, just the same old things whispered with a slightly different tongue. I know this very well, because I am the captive audience of archetypes and myths. Do not attempt to free me, for I am drinking of the collective unconscious. Consequently, please know that the products here are a result of accumulated knowledge, usurped from thousands of other souls against which my own has brushed. Still, please, please enjoy your visit to my work. Make yourself a home here in the bits of my soul - some silly, some sad, some sober, some sprightly - that I've put up here to share with you. I hope you find something that you think is beautiful. Ours is not to question why, ours is but to do and die - so I post unquestioningly whenever and whatever inspiration dictates. Regularity is for work. Spontaneity is for play. While neither are exclusive to the other, these things do generally have a way of getting separated into Weberian spheres.

Post a picture of your screenshot or receipt or what-have-you for a special surprise.
