Fortuna Rota
If I start with “she loves me”, will she love me in the end, or as the numbers foretold, the contrary?
The last time I plucked Fate’s petal from your crown, it turns she loved me not.
Fortune teller in my garden, you start with even leaves around your center, yet the wind and sun sometimes lead you to tell another story.
Speak softly with echoes in my time’s corridors. I pray the beginning I selected leads to a proper end.

Origin
 |
I emerged from the mountain. I was the mountain. My actions set all in motion with the first glimmer of my duality. I gave purpose to the sun and stars. My senses determined all that will be. Climb up to see me. Perceive the world I observe. … I perceive you. … EGO sentio quod partum vos. Vos sentio quod partum orbis terrarum. EGO sum illae universitas. |

Anemone
 |
Where do your roots travel? Do you caress your lover secretly beneath the nourishing soil? What unseen things do you sense? Tell me of earthquakes and other things to come. If not me, then whisper them to my child. He is more deserving.
EGO veneratio magister of meus parvulus |

Each year I expand my world. Layer upon layer. Replacing scars with new skin.
