Did some dragon flow/poi. No videos tonight - it's a quiet cool evening meditation.

A blue dragon with shades of blue and patches of gold.
Quietly feeling the floss and needle. And breathing.

A square graphic showing a book cover and text. The cover is on the left top two thirds, Reborn in Ash by Gabrielle Steele. On the right top two thirds is white text reading: Rated <a graphic of four and a half yellow stars> on Goodreads. What reviewers say: “A tale beautifully told” “The magic system was incredible” “A fast-paced epic fantasy” “Immersive, emotional, and truly enchanting”. Centred in the bottom thirds is a bullet point list reading: Dark epic fantasy, A thief whose revenge goes wrong, Gem-based elemental magic, Sapphic romance subplot, Found family. Cover description: The background is dark with a red-orange glow in a gap between the silhouettes of trees. The silhouette of a person fills most of the space between the trees. They are in an action stance, with twin swords raised, one either side, curving towards them defensively. One arm extends to the right, where three pointed stones hover, their tips aimed away from the person. The cover text is white, and the title font has some extended curved flourishes. Above the title is text reading, “When the thief falls, the mage will rise.”

Magic abandoned humanity millennia ago. Now it returns, bringing ruin to a wanted thief, and her chance for redemption.

The big horse (maybe a stallion - but horses are big and even mares are big) thrashed about in the water, refusing help. But it was clearly terrified.

Napped and had a weird dream, but oddly indicative of the current energies:
A big horse broke free of control and plunged straight into a deep pool of muddy water. I ran and yelled for help. But I think the horse was eventually rescued/pulled out.
Yay! :D

Also... pirates!
There is also another sapphic novella being released this month: Light of the Song.

For the next few days - there will be a fuckton of disinfo and misinfo being spread. It always happens after a major conflict has occurred. Be careful of the material and sources you encounter on social media and offline.
Gird your minds. Exercise critical reading skills.
Buy me a coffee? Or a book, actually the book would be wonderful because it's my Birthday Month!!
