Home

I want to go home.
Home doesn't exist anymore.
Except...it does. Home lives inside of me.

I want to smell the air.
I want to feel the soil and my feet playing together.
I want to sit under That Tree.
I want to feel safe.
I want to hear the mockingbirds. I want to talk to the squirrels.
I want my dad's truck.
I want to take the long way everywhere because I don't want to be on the freeway.
I want to sit in my booth and a diner that closed years ago.
I want to recognize every school and church I drive past.
I want to go home.

Khaire Hekate Einalia!

Glorious Hekate Einalia, Empress of the Dark Seas! It is World Ocean Day. I thank You for Your presence in my life as the Lake Monster, and more recently as Mother Hydra. I thank You for the alligator who followed the boat. I thank You for the lakes, rivers, and beaches. I thank You for humpback whales. I thank You for the turtles. I thank You for baths, showers, swimming pools, and glasses of water to drink. I thank You for rainy days and thriving plants. I thank You for the aquatic entry to other realms. I thank You for Your presence in everything that exists in our physical world, as well as the many ways water exists in other worlds. Khaire Hekate Einalia! Praise Lake Monster! Iä Mother Hydra!
