Altered States

The Sending

“On my way to my workout today, out of nowhere came a brown leaf from my right – angled and arcing as if deliberately sent to crash into my car to get my attention – like when the snowflake arrived in the movie, ‘I Am Dragon,’ right before the bride-to-be’s dragon arrived.

Very soon after this, a bird dove sharply from the low left, causing me to slow suddenly.

A promise, and a warning of caution that ‘things are not as they seem.'”

Winter Visitor

“There’s a critter in my bedroom, again.

It’s getting more bold in its movements along the edges since lack of other animals in my room.

I wouldn’t really care except that this is my room, and it might be preganant – as well as it is no longer hiding, which means it might try to take over and spread its mess and cause prospective damage in its boldness.

I can hear it now by my drums, whereas it used to be only in the opposite corner to nestle.”

Vampiric Sagas

“I very much dislike that the common ending trope of vampiric love sagas is that though love is found, in the end, one or both of the lover must die unrequited.

This “flies” (bat reference) in the face of the whole immortal thematic of what a pair of lovers with access to such powers should be able to achieve and secure together – which is a rare kind of everlasting, getting to be experienced deepest love exchange.

I appreciate that in Bram Stoker’s book version, they thought Dracula died, and Mina lived her life with her mortal husband until he passed, but then reunited with her soul’s true bond once free to do so.

Having already lived out the ‘mortal death’ of prior marriage(s), I am looking forward to getting to experience true paradise, through its various shades of light to gray, with my Guy.”

The Crone’s Greeting

“Waking up after barely sleeping, and apparently having an allergic reaction to a different abode’s cat litter in a borrowed bedroom due to my home having no heat last night, I found that body had swollen and my eyes were puffed and wrinkly as if I were eighty years old.

Quite a not the confidence booster on what many would think should be a special morning.

In this case, it’s a good thing that ‘beauty’ is only ‘skin deep.’

Sheesh.”
