2025 is going to be rather hectic and some posts may be shorter than others.
Congratulations USA
The inauguration of the 47th President of the United States was yesterday. Congratulations to President Donald J Trump, Vice President JD Vance and their families. May God bless you and your country.
Life Progress
Personal life and growth for the year relies on so many factors falling sequentially into place at the right time to move ahead. Some of these are:
- House sale
- South African documentation from authorities
- Documentation verified by South African authorities
- Financials in place
- Visa application
- Emigration
Writing
Last week, I committed myself to producing 250 posts with relevant or interesting content for the year. That means about five posts a week to get back into daily interactions. A post each weekday is not difficult to do if my head stays firmly engaged but it's far easier to not do and once days are missed, there is a very real danger that the glitch becomes a malfunction, which leads a full breakdown. The weekends have been left free to give a buffer for any weekday which I may miss.
While I set up my author website, which will be properly structured and much easier to navigate, I'll post some snippets of The Daighacaer as well as some of my poetic works here.
Celebrating the wins
My first post this year was last Wednesday on the 15th of January. I'm on track with the number of posts and will keep working on improving content as I progress.
The Daighacaer Book I - Reverie
No one looking
at him would know this, of course. His unlined brow, sporting an unruly wayward
lock of wavy, dark brown, hair, shaded the strength in his gentle emerald green
eyes, which appeared as calm as they always did and hid his many concerns.
It was Eryen’s
custom, each day, to reflect on everything that had occurred during the day.
This reflection would pass naturally into The Knowledge of Ages. The blessing
and curse of yldryf. Every action, memory and detail of his and every yldryf
which had ever crossed any yldryf consciousness, would remain etched in The
Knowledge of Ages for eternity.
Today was a
particularly difficult day and Eryen knew that his taking time to go over the myriad
details was essential.
For as long as
The Knowledge of Ages had been established in the yldryf, The Lady Dawne had
graced the Realm of Faeré with her gentle presence each day. It was such an
ordinary and accepted occurrence, that today’s events sent and were still
sending shockwaves through The Knowledge of Ages.
On this day, as
he did every day, Eryen arose before The Dawne’s first appearance to greet his
Lady Dawne and to consecrate the day’s new beginning to her. Yet, to his shock
and horror, on this day, The Lady Dawne turned her beautiful face away from
him, spurning his devoted outstretched hands and arms. He still was not quite
sure what to make of it. In all his personal awareness and that of the
knowledge passed down to him from The yldryf over many aeons, The Lady Dawne
had never repulsed a sacred greeting. Never.

Eryen turned
his concentration once again to what happened at the start of this day and
involuntarily shuddered.
He saw himself within the confusion once more.
Saw once more the anguish, and the uncertainty.
There was also that sense of menace which had not left
him. He knew that it would remain for as long as he did not address the cause. The
shock of it all was almost too much for him to bear.
His mind was still reeling as he steeled his emotions
to deal with the inward and outward analysis which he knew he needed to do and
which should not be delayed. He shuddered with a measure of dread as he allowed
his mind to go back to the beginning of the day.
