Well, after trying to record this episode over 13 times (I'm not even exaggerating), I finally got it down, and was able to share an adequate monologue about "change." Luckily, this one feels pretty useful, at least I think it is?! “All that you touch You Change. All that you Change Changes you. The only lasting truth is Change. God is Change.” ― Octavia E. Butler Inspired by the work of the incredible late author, Octavia E. Butler, I share a few quotes from Parable of the Sower (1993), intertwined with reflections on alchemy (and the Tria Prima), Mind, Biblically accurate angels, Everyday Amenti, homesickness, the concept of Hiraeth, the preciousness of human connection, the importance of creating boundaries, letting go, and discerning.
