When I talk about having no feelings, I mean that a man doesn’t allow likes or dislikes to get in and do him harm. He just lets things be the way they are and doesn’t try to help life along.

Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Zhuangzi, Watson tr. (Ch 5)

Isn’t it funny that each person you meet will have a different kind of point of view of the type of person you come across as and that will also differ from the way you view yourself

I take my time to dream and to reflect. I do not follow theories but rather trust perceptions and feelings. - Agnès Varda (May 30, 1928 - March 29, 2019)

She was a film director and professor at the European Graduate School. Varda's work employed location shooting in an era when the limitations of sound technology made it easier and more common to film indoors, with constructed sets and painted backdrops of landscapes, rather than outdoors, on location. Her use of non-professional actors was also unconventional for 1950s French cinema.

“I try not to look in the mirror too much. Madness lies that way – looking in the mirror is not where the truth is. The beauty of wearing contact lenses is that I can take them out at the end of the day and the world becomes beautifully blurred. It makes more sense like that than it does in sharp vision.” — Felicity Jones

"I can make being weaponless a weapon, but that's not the story in Octavian's head about you. The king could strike you dead at his feet, and still he wouldn't believe you're vulnerable. That is its own weapon. I've been told I'm the type you marry, by many men I wasn't interested in marrying. But the poets don't write about heartless wanton women because they hope never to meet them."

Lia, Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.”

—Seneca

You may have ideas about how others see you, but you are not defined by their perceptions. You are not an object under someone else's magnifying glass, whose only purpose is to be observed. You are a living, breathing human being with a beautiful soul that is on a hope anchored journey of learning what it means to be whole.

All-Shining Mother, Madama Selene

Summoning Chant: Ananael Graa (Wise Moon)

Madama Selene is among the most powerful Infernals a witch can form a covenant with. Due to her nature as an Infernal Goddess of the Moon. Basking in her mere presence is said to empower any Umbra to the same heights as a full moon. But like any denizen of the inferno one must take heed with her temperament, for it is something akin to the Moon. Full of light one moment and then absolute darkness in the next.

The Umbra see witches in contract with this Infernal as a sign of a strong leader. Due to the intellect no doubt possessed by one who's domain is the Moon, and the strength that same domain would grant an Umbran Witch.

A small teaser under the cut

And arrive Madama Selene, the All-Shining Mother, did. In a form that seemed kissed by the moonlight, with ephemeral silver armor that was a tad revealing. A crimson red crown of crescent moon shaped horns adorning her almost sapphire brow. She had no hair, but in it's place was a nebula of stars. Around her arms where bracers detailed with the phases of the moon in purple stones. She flew to her target on wings indicative of a Luna Moth with unearthly grace. Her black almost silk-like toga flowing like waves. A perfect match the the obsidian eyes she possessed.

Life Is Our Choices and Our Being—Not Our Possessions, Perceptions, or Status

This consumeristic world we live in, increasingly shaped by materialism, social validation, and external achievements, tends to neglect the adamantly clear notion that this period we spend in this material form and that we call life is determined by our choices and inner being rather than mere possessions or status. From the insights of Stoicism and Buddhism to modern neuroscience and…
