Why here and what now?
The world is teaming with distortions, divisions, and desperation for connection. My names meaning is, "helper and defender of mankind" and I guess my soul has taken that to heart. The question of how to help others is answered for me in putting pen to page. The more I write, the more I realize that the words that flow bring me a sense of hope and healing, a way to gather the scattered pieces of myself, a way forward.
I think the stories I have to share may help someone like myself: struggling with identity, hope, and the big questions life offers us. I think that, if you build a community, the lost and scattered members will make their way back home to it.
This is an invitation into thought and action . This is a place for gathering and collective healing. This is a place for those who can't seem to find their place anywhere else.
This is where the light is.
