Mara
A man, a dog, video games, and recovery
My dog was named
after a Goddess.
.
It is true. See,
I have a way with the future.
Not magical,
.
not most of the time
I don't think.
.
It's a sub conscious
psychological form of analytics.
.
It's a gift. I can figure
the answer
before
I have thought
of the question.
.
INFJ.
.
I had a feeling
The goddess of love
and healing
might be necessary
sometime soon.
.
And so this Goddess
is named Mara. Skyrim
Of course.
.
This Goddess
wags her tail
.
and though she couldn't win
a fight
against a squirrel
.
she would fight
to the death
to defend me. Her loyalty
.
is absolute.
.
Unconditional.
.
She is the only
creature
on this earth
.
I trust
completely
and implicitly.
.
Her balm
heals,
.
Her presence
.
encapsulates
the trauma
which inspired
the name
itself
.
she does it
as well
as her namesake,
.
an Aedric kiss
enchanted with love
and mercy
when all things
reign
.
fire,
and ash mountain
trembles with terror
and the beasts
.
from House Dagoth
haunt my dreams.
