Gratitude
Mam you’re an angel
Had the craziest dream last night and it was so real I can still see it this morning. I went to a dark place of my past with people from my past, in places I knew even in the dream, I would never go to these places or do the things they are saying I’m doing.

Fungus Fun
Plump and wild, growing as round and expansive as the sun, soft mushrooms blossom and surge across hidden corners of the earth. They burst forth and have some fun, wedging themselves in new lands, like a foreigner yearning to claim a slice of home for themselves. Their fatty white shoots sprout from damp pockets of the bark, and glide upwards to the leaves, not yet dead, but clasping with their final breath. Their heads open in soft white question marks, as their thin bodies feed under shadows, the remainder of the trees' preserved sugar. The inner workings of photosynthesis, the dew, and the sap, keep the fungi in place, happy and content. How far have they traveled across our map? What underworld has brought them forward to be so plush and unreserved? Look how closely they resemble a beloved companion, no, look even closer, at the hungry caterpillar eating at its charitable meat. Dare to gaze closer still, at the wild roots intertwined in the dense moss, the fungi are hard at work, ensuring no nutrients from the dying tree are at a loss. Do you see clearly now? The mushroom, in all its joy and growth, has not forgotten to give. Ah, this being, complex and lush, their dazzling reds create a startling warning against the browns of the sleeping bush. Their yellows and humble browns remind us of this glorious season and its fleeting release from the former season's heat. Oh, magnificent fungus, so quiet and pristine, you are just one of the many wonders Autumn enchants, possesses, and brings.

The Impermanent Awakening
Adversity makes you stronger, and desperate situations make you stronger still. Only through utter annihilation can you truly gain the presence to overlook the world, radiating a divine light that illuminates the entire universe.

The Sacred Curriculum: How the Universe Tests Your Soul
If love cannot awaken you, life will awaken you with pain. If pain cannot awaken you, life will awaken you with even greater pain. The world is truly the ultimate school and the grand examination hall for the soul. Life is full of challenges, and its various hardships and pleasures are like exam questions. Your thoughts and actions are the answers you write.
