The View from Here

We’ve spent the last few posts looking at the symbols on my wall—the Shen rings, the Scarabs, and the ancient protectors. But the truth is, those symbols only matter because of where I am now.

Right now, I’m in the middle of the “labor.” I’m doing the daily work of pushing toward the light, just like that beetle. Some days the ball feels light, and some days it feels like lead. But the circle of protection I’ve built around my past is holding steady, and for the first time in a long time, I can see the sun disk on the horizon.

This site isn’t just about history or art. It’s about the fact that we are all “becoming” something new every single day. If you’re reading this and you feel like your past is still a bit broken, just know that you’re in good company. We’re all just rolling our stones toward the sunrise.

Thanks for being on this journey with me. The best part is just getting started.
