Hello There, Germany | FedCon 2025

 

Hello There! I didn’t get to see the pink cherry blossoms this year. Which was devastating for me. But for sure in 2026, I will. Whether it’s Bonn or Vancouver. It would’ve been nice to stay at the Maritime Hotel since it has my stage name and it’s ideal for introverts who want to nap after an intense panel session. Pneumonia just had to strike. Oh, well. It gave me clarity in June. So it wasn’t a total loss. That business class scene unlocked would’ve been priceless though. Oh well. That’s for another time. This lilac dress is what I would’ve worn to greet the cherry blossoms. 

SATURNIAN LOVE STORIES: ✦ 

• Alcestis and Admetus - The Fortunate King (Richard is Heracles, and I hope he doesn't return me to Admetus)
• Penelope and Odysseus - The Forgotten Myth | The widening moment | A hero isn’t a hero until he chooses to comes home | Shedding versions of his false self so he can meet his true love with grey hair 
• Eros and Psyche - Dancing missteps but it is a love that becomes earned 
• Arethusa and Alpheus (River god) - But in a rewritten version they unmerged, sovereign, eternally choosing each other  | Timing is inevitable because when you let time unfold on its’ own, you are in alliance with Saturn | Time is your friend 

My translucent tattoo bandaid on my left thigh keeps making me think of the actress of Padhme saying “And you? What would you do for love?” 

I wished inside Grand Central Station after I saw the film director Anderson’s name. I daydreamed inside brown, wooden elevators like they were prophecies waiting to transpire.  I invoked the old gods and the new. I returned to Saturn’s fortress (San Antonio). I abandoned France - my soul country.
