Hello Again

Almost six months have passed. Since then I have fallen low, pulled myself back up. Struggled. Wondered. Felt dead inside. Gone through the death of a very close loved one. Had absolute chaos rained down upon my friends and colleagues at the day job. Wondered and wished when the magic rainbow unicorn will rub the genie's lamp and unveil the yellow brick road to the magical land that is Narnia.

And I've still written. I've still pushed on. Worked on too many projects. Picked things up. Let them drop again. Meditated. Spent time simply sitting. Lost myself in television and movies, many of which I turn off as they do little for me. I've found new bands, or perhaps through their dark sorcery they have found me. MGLA are tops at the moment. Polish Black Metal with some trance inducing songs that make me long for the wilderness again, for the woods at night (where very few dare to venture) and that deep peace within me.

Only the peace within you, will bring you peace. Nothing else. It's deep. It's innate. We don't need drugs. We don't need alcohol. We don't need anything beyond that utterly blissful experience that is the depth of our being. I think that is what we're all searching for, ultimately.

Yet, I am still keen to bring the Sisters of Annis to the world, but only if the stories work, if the stories are good, immersive (a big thing for me), evocative, enticing, seductive and enjoyable.

So yeah, I am still here. I am still working on my soul work while trying to keep my head and heart above the parapet of pain and heartache (especially at the day job). It has been a tough year, but from tough experiences comes strength, comes wisdom, comes perhaps love.

Wishing you all much success in all that you do.

Much love

Paul
