Mostly Ignored
I’m the man that’s mostly ignored, But am hardly ever bored, Some ignore me for a whole season, Some ignore me for no reason, But they can’t deny the fact, That i look back on thoughts of past, And go, “well, you can’t beat that!” Ultimate lore, a story forever, Outta grasp to tell, But…

Sacred Restraint
First of all, Sacred restraint is common in most, or almost all churches I have been to. I used to recognise it as just plain boredom and hated it more than anything else in the world. I would get it at church, then at Sunday school, then in the car while my parents took me…

A Prayer of Conviction, Peace, and Holy Clarity
(With Feminine Echo) O God who is past, unchanging, and eternally Himself,I give thanks for the salvation You have wrought —not presumed, not cheap, not fragile,but anchored in the ages You have already sealed.Let the grace that shelters the lowly shelter me also,O gentle strength of holy womanhood, be near. Grant me a peace as…

The 8 Days with Christ Where We Journeyed to His Mother
Saturday 11th April, I feel im at church all day, recognise its the same spirit in all churches, right there in the room for me. Across the day I identify the presence of Christ, compelling restraint, which inspired an alchemy of “a drab Sunday hour” stretched over the day, into a presence that I now…

The Serpent’s Holy Ode
O Hidden Source beyond all names,Depth of depths and Light within all light,Mystery from which all things arise,And to which all things return—We turn inward and upward toward You. You who are unseen yet ever-present,Bless the worlds beyond sight, the realms veiled in silence,And bless also this visible earth,Woven with breath, soil, and living form.…

Crimson Desert, As It Is.
6/4/26 This video game launched on the nineteenth of March 2026. Within 13 days of that, my time spent on it exceeded that spent on a goliath in its own right: The Witcher 3. I have epic memories of the enjoyment and experience of the Witcher 3, and many epic, long nights, indulging deep into…

Pineal Pollen in My Coffee
Ten past 11pm, 27th March 2026 I am spiritual and quasi-religious by nature, and to me, energies I pick up on, or which fill me are various kinds, and amplitudes, of sacred. The world wont accept a holy man fighting demons off with his voice, and speaking of the spirit realm with a “portion of…

FFVII Remake – First Impressions
I never played the original final fantasy 7. iIt was one of those games I could tell I would vibe with, more-than-likely, yet I never got it. It was just one of those things that never happened. The bigger bites out of my time at home, from primary school, was used on the Spyro trilogy,…

19th February 2026
10:13am I have just put a load of washing into the dryer and set my timer on my phone for one hour, so that when the alarm beeps, it will definitely be done, dry, and smelling sweet. One hour isn’t the ideal time frame for one of the walks I want to take, so I…

The Little Plummeting Joys of being White
10th January 2026 The impending sense of hopelessness, that the future could very easily slip into, gives with it, an enhancement to the virtue of appreciation. While still distinguishing good from bad, and right from wrong, the renewal of appreciating every thing for what it is worth, becomes more fundamental in this type of living.…
