Thought for the Day – Angelic Year Edition
More "Thought for the Day" is going to be released in the upcoming months. In honor of the start of the Angelic New Year, some content may change or be added to later. Lots more coming soon! For now, think on this quote:
Poetry: “Choosing Sides”
One of the poems chosen for the book.

I awoke one day to find
a cryptic lie had seized my mind.
I awoke one day to see
illusions claiming I was free.
I awoke one day to feel
the seven deadly, putrid seals.
I awoke one day to think
how near my soul came to the brink.
I awoke one day to do
what pride had begged me never to.
I awoke one day to dare
reject the darkened powers of air.
I awoke one day to know
the true … “above is so below”.
I awoke one day to stand
among the few meek of the land.

Now comes the constant effort needed to balance these new parts of my daily life. Plus, I’m renewing my efforts to get a part-time job to support my financial needs. For those readers who are also hoping to publish their work in some form, I highly advise that you get and maintain a day job. Don’t…

“The Challenging Reality: Wool and Ethics”
One of the topics I've been learning about recently has been the use of wool in the fabric industry. Generally, we as vegans tend to be very much against this practice and advocate for plant-based textiles made from hemp, organic cotton, recycled fibers, etc. as replacements for animal-derived fibers. However, I've discovered there are... Continue Reading →
