Layered
Uncover the truth Beneath layered life Each new storm reveals Foundations beneath The wind burnt muted Winter scorch of placid The deeper the depth The saturation is revealed Clues revealed of life afore When seasons stoked The growth and fall Of patterned record In layers to be uncovered And understood from tomes Of natural orders Lore

Today is my 3rd anniversary on Tezos, within the fourth year in isolation, but a new beginning.
This past year has been a whirlwind of near constant compounding traumas, deaths and interwoven heartbreaks which has been enmeshed with the global horrors and the falling of an empire. I feel like a different person within my internal world. I have become something new, healing my own body and mind, being my own physician and my own advocate. I am alone, and have only myself to rely on to begin this new cycle.
I don't have time. But I'm still alive.
