I’m interested to know whether your work is planned or a stream of conscious writings or a bit of both ?

I start by writing what I have in mind and, if I like it, I then develop a file with notes and a structure to guide me into other semi-streams of consciousness. I try to express what’s on my mind usually. Thanks for reading!

It definitely comes across as a stream of consciousness, one of the best ways to let the muse speak

This story was eye opening and told in the most unique way to get your message across. I love it. It illustrates that growth sometimes requires us to inhabit “uncomfortable” versions of ourselves, and it does it… Beautifully✨these different versions are strengths we need for our next evolution.

As for that dragon your eyeing, ‘the ultimate evolutionary masterpiece,’ it represents the grand synthesis of your journey, merging your scales from your past scales and strengths into a single being that bridges the gap between the terrestrial and divine, and just might not be too far off it seems to me✨✨✨🐉

Impermanence is really problematic, isn't it? When I was young I was bulletproof; I'm sure of it; now I'm REALLY starting to have my doubts. Nevertheless, I proclaim, "ribbit, ribbit, ribbit..."

I bet your soul is still bulletproof sir, only the physical human condition is fragile like an eggshell.

Thanks for reading :)

Wow, I really love your metaphor, especially the part about the frog. It reminded me that sometimes losing a part of ourselves is the very thing that opens the door to a new kind of power.:)
