“The only way to fully appreciate the power of group ritual is to participate in one.” Pagan circles play a vital role in sustaining community within a minority faith. They offer belonging, mentorship, and shared ritual, spaces where Pagans can connect, learn, and grow together. Beyond spiritual practice, circles nurture social bonds, resilience, and collective wellbeing.

Warmup: 51 locks in an hour. I'm going to narrow it down to a good sample of 30 and see if I can get to where I can pop 25 of them in under 10 minutes.

I'm writing a fictional article. The focus is on elderly millenials; specifically about how they were given all the tools and talent of the boomer generation without any of the unspoken assumptives such as low inflation, accessible credit, institutional support, and breathing room for a misstep or two, amongst others.

I'm calling it 20th Century Refugees.

I'm pleased how it's turning out, but it hurts my soul.

Boomers and GenXers really, truly did shout "fuck you, got mine," huh?

Two sketches from this week. These days I try to do more drawing that is explicitly for practice.

A quotation from Joseph Addison

Our delight in any particular study, art, or science rises and improves in proportion to the application which we bestow upon it. Thus, what was at first an exercise becomes at length an entertainment.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1712-08-02), The Spectator, No. 447

I’ve been trying over the last few days to get some new piano licks under my fingers in an effort to expand my soloing vocabulary. This is Bill Evans-inspired one over a ii-V-I.

I’ve usually found practice with a metronome and working through different keys a fairly tedious process but this has been a surprisingly fun and satisfying process as I feel like I’m starting to see some results and starting to hear new lines in my head.
