Pretzel Logic

Patti Melton

When there are mouths to feed, introspection may seem luxuriously selfish, but if we can see this period of struggle (personally and historically) as a gift rather than a blow, we may just find the strength and courage to evolve. (more)

They can be used by whoever's sufficiently attuned." Episode 7 of the novel Must Not Sleep, a transformative ride through shamanic space. (more)
