Once upon a time in the mystical land of Eldoria, there was a legend that spoke of a magical word capable of granting any wish. This word was known as "Zephyrion," whispered through the ages and guarded by the wise Eldorians. It was said that only those with the purest of hearts could harness its power.
In the heart of the dense Eldorian Forest, a young and curious girl named Elara discovered an ancient tome that spoke of the word "Zephyrion." Intrigued, she embarked on a quest to uncover the secrets of this mystical word. She believed that it could bring peace to her war-torn kingdom, which had long suffered under the shadow of a tyrant.
Elara's journey led her to the enigmatic Oracle of Zephyrion, a reclusive sage who resided atop a towering mountain. The Oracle, a bearded figure in tattered robes, spoke of the word's origin. "Zephyrion is the essence of pure intentions and unwavering belief," he explained. "To wield its power, one must seek the four Elemental Guardians and prove their worth."
Elara nodded determinedly and set off on her quest, guided by the wisdom of the Oracle. She encountered the first guardian, an ancient Water Nymph named Nalani, who tested her by creating a raging storm. Elara's kindness and bravery quelled the tempest, and Nalani bestowed upon her a vial of sacred water, a testament of her genuine heart.
The next guardian was Terra, a massive Earth Golem deep within the Eldorian Caves. Terra challenged Elara to uncover a hidden treasure beneath a mountain of boulders. Elara's unwavering determination moved Terra, and he granted her a piece of enchanted earth, symbolizing her connection to the land.
Elara's journey continued to the skies where she met Aeolus, the Wind Spirit, high atop a cloud-kissed peak. Aeolus tested her by navigating a turbulent tornado, but Elara's humility and respect for nature allowed her to calm the winds. In return, Aeolus granted her a feather, an emblem of her mastery of the air.
Finally, Elara descended into the heart of the Eldorian Volcano to meet Pyrrhus, the Fire Guardian. He challenged her with a trial of courage and resilience by braving the fiery depths. Elara emerged unscathed, and Pyrrhus granted her a glowing ember, a symbol of her inner strength.
With the four elemental tokens in hand, Elara returned to the Oracle of Zephyrion. The Oracle nodded approvingly and instructed her to merge the elements while uttering the word "Zephyrion" with utmost sincerity.
Elara climbed to the mountain's peak and, surrounded by the Elemental Guardians, spoke the word. The elements fused together, creating a dazzling, swirling vortex of energy that resonated with her pure intentions and unwavering belief. With the word "Zephyrion," she wished for the end of tyranny and a realm of harmony.
In an instant, the kingdom was bathed in a radiant light, and the tyrant's power was vanquished. Eldoria flourished, and the people celebrated in joy. Elara's name echoed through history as the one who had harnessed the power of the magical word, "Zephyrion," to bring peace to their land.
But Elara knew the true source of her strength was not just the word itself but the pure heart that had guided her on her remarkable journey. With this newfound wisdom, she continued to protect her kingdom, and the legend of "Zephyrion" lived on as a testament to the power of love, courage, and belief.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.

Beth Gibbons New Musical – Lives Outgrown
Beth Gibbons has perfected the art of embracing stillness as a profound expression. Remember her gripping performances with Portishead? She clung to the microphone, her voice dripping with a profound sense of melancholy. Since those days, her musical offerings have arrived at a pace that could challenge the slow crawl of a snail. But with each passing year of quiet, her reputation has only swelled. Following the release of Portishead’s Third in 2008, Gibbons embarked on a journey marked by rare public appearances. She lent her voice to Górecki’s Symphony No. 3 with the Polish National Radio Symphony, made a notable feature on Kendrick Lamar’s “Mother I Sober,” and otherwise, she remained elusive. Gibbons does only what she deems necessary, and she does it on her own timeline. Thus, the unveiling of Lives Outgrown feels like a momentous event.

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
