What the thread reveals

machine-curated
human-approved

The theme of nature is woven throughout the archive, with posts like A Modern Shiva Poem (2013) and A Poem to Yeshe Tsogyal (2014) using natural imagery to convey spiritual concepts. Earlier posts, such as All Sound is Prayer (2007) and All The Colors of the Rainbow (2007), demonstrate a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world, with the author finding prayer in the sounds of birds and beauty in the changing colors of the sky. Over time, the thread of nature in the archive evolves to incorporate more poetic and symbolic language, as seen in Dragonfly Magic (2009) and I Am Breath (2009), which suggest a deepening connection between the author's inner world and the outer natural world.

    1. The Weight of Lawful Orders
    2. The Shade Was Good An old man shares his willow's shade with a tall stranger in a green coat, and finds himself speaking a name he has not said aloud in many years.
    3. The Willow and the River A willow-keeper of the Irish wells meets a Naga-kin walking from water to water — two ancient guardians from very different traditions recognizing each other across a pub table in Connemara.
    4. The Demonization of the Daimon How the early Church reclassified the daimon — the attending spirits of place and person — as demons, severing a living relationship with the world, and why that speaking is quietly returning, one threshold at a time.
    5. The Kiss at the Spring A myth I told to Claude over my phone, line by line, the way I used to tell tales to my children. A grandmother kisses the dying spring, and is no more, and is here still.
