A good night

So many precious words to echo into the abyss, nothing so different in a recipe for cookies to sage advice, just language used to convey value into the empty in hopes it may land somewhere in such a way that it’s value may be recognized and so our own value be validated through companionship. 

How lovely it would be. 

Sweet dreams everyone. I love you.

The Unaddressed Ramblings of a Man in a Box.

It feels like I’ve lived a long 23 years, and as I approach the end of my 24th I can’t help but reverberate with dissonance. The depth and complexity of philosophies and principles have reached the point where one might act the same with or without them, save for their intentions. I stand amidst my life’s work, bearing the scars and wear to show for it. I stare stoically into the abyss and howl for the hero I ought to be while recalling glittering jewels I’ve adored in life and ascribe value for the sake of nostalgia. I don’t have a father, yet before I even reached 13 I played the part for my dear siblings. I looked for idols and found a few, in stories of heroics and things normal people never do. I’ve grown into a man with will and aspirations too vast and unbound to reach for whilst gripping the earth. A sleeping golem, a resting beast, a withered ancient in a throne with bones that creak. I’ve no fear for death and contemplate my life, I’ve acquainted the good, the bad and the truth and find myself just about ready to burst through. Now I stand in contemplation due to the bindings that bury deep and have to consider my state. My character is burning, my soul is roaring, my bones are on fire. I want nothing less than to ignite and run wild in a naïve blaze of hope and glee in search for a calling I hope this world holds for me. Yet here I sit in continued compromise in derogatory dealings with a devilish haunt whispering insidious sentiments. Points that speak of the arrogance of the weak and the ways the scared grow spines.

I don’t care for it. I’d much rather resolve and reject my chains. I’d much rather revel in my glory and go toe-to-toe in search of comradery. It still feels like there’s a place or person sometime, somewhere where I can express my entirety amidst the fires of rivalry and find my peace in destiny. Now I judge the balance of the scale and seek the path in which I’m free. Maybe it’s a noble struggle to counter that desire with good and just values, but maybe it’s worse to live life in a state of restraint. I suppose that’s the plight of humanity.

The Rock Werewolf

move legs move

hours late into an escape through the wood I would find my challenge and stand strong to face it. The sky turns bleak as rain comes down, dripping off the slick rocks and falling into the creek. falling into the creek. “don’t fall” as I lean over and my knees creak. A waterfall crashes into the ravine, dampening any screams I might need and carries away any water that might see me bleed if I don’t succeed. 3.2.1. and I waver like a leaf shaking from a tree, feet rooted to the ground my body defies me. Blood surges through my veins as I shake free from cowardly chains and change.

High tech lock is "invincible to people who do not have a screwdriver"

LockPickingLawyer, a recreational lock picker, was sent a fingerprint padlock for review. He emailed the manufacture to let them know that he’d discovered a security vulnerability: “Upon examining the lock, I found that if you remove the three screws, the lock falls apart. The shackle can be opened and relocked without the owner’s fingerprint or knowledge.”

The manufacturer replied: “the lock is invincible to the people who do not have a screwdriver.”

Thank goodness a set of torx drivers costs $4, or this might be a concern for anyone using this lock

Bonding With Each Element

Earth

Taking a walk in a park or forest

Planting

Picking flowers (though, not from other people’s gardens, of course)

Grounding, meditating, etc.

-The key is to surround yourself with nature, whether it be sounds of nature, or even getting into kitchen magic, which will involve herbs.

Air

Taking a stroll on a breezy day

Sitting in front of a fan (as an alternative to the above)

Anything creative (Dancing, singing, etc)

Divination (Smoke of an incense, crystal ball, taro/cartomancy, etc)

-The wind element is about expressing and realizing your creativity and talent. By doing this, you are bonding with the element.

Fire

Meditation with a lit candle

Drinking a cup of freshly brewed hot tea or coffee (don’t burn your mouth, now)

Activity that involves breaking a sweat (exercise, etc)

-Fire is about passion and anger, whether releasing that anger so it does not build up inside of you, or invoking a passion you have for something. This intensity will help you bond with the element.

Water

Taking a long shower or bath

Making Sun or Moon Water

Collecting Rain/Snow/Storm/Sea Water

Dream Magick: making peaceful sleep satchets, etc

-Water is about purification, love, and psychic awareness. Cleansing yourself daily, charging water for a specific use, and healing will help you bond with this element.
