Aiōn II - Multiverse
Chapter four of Wormwood Saga
The idea for this saga came to me late one night while I stood watch in the turret of my Light Armored Vehicle. It was a cold mid-winter’s night and the moon was full. The harsh desert landscape bathed in the soft moonlight enraptured my soul. To say I alone conjured up this novel would be a massively false claim. Rather, I feel the saga was born from an amalgamation of lifetimes surging forward into my consciousness all at once. Further compounding this reverie of stupendous scale was the influx of life forces inundating my soul, my being, my spirit. While there was much death and suffering in Afghanistan there was also strangely a life force in the land, the people, and of course the desert which defied all reason and logic.
As I have grown, matured and evolved my definitions of what was truth, of what was right and wrong have profoundly shifted. No longer a slave to phobia indoctrination and dogma I found a new hope buried within myself - hidden in plain sight.
Writing Wormwood Saga has been a salve to my soul in times both good, bad, and the just plain normal. If it helps bring happiness, joy, love, compassion, or peace to just one person than it will have been worth all the effort to write.
Making art - whether it is writing, painting with water colors, or decorating a snow covered slope with telemark caligraphy - brings an ever increasing ephemeral state from deep within my being which begs to be set free. And so this evening, heeding that calling, I published chapter four in Part II of Wormwood Saga(You can read here: https://story.wormwoodsaga.com/aion/ii/multiverse)
I hope you can feel a sense of beauty from this - my latest expression of the joy within.
Namaste 🙏🏼
