what you can’t live without | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

what you can’t live without

If you wouldn’t bother to drag it away from the gates of hell, and sigh at the first sign of adversity.
If anything extra is too much for what you’ve budgeted this would cost

Burn it.
—
The movie Once Upon A Time In Mexico (2003) contains a striking goth image:
Johnny Depp’s character, stark black outfits and long dark hair, is wearing sunglasses to cover his missing eyes.

Streams of thick dark red blood have dripped from his eye sockets.
Painting both undereye areas a ghastly red.

Yet, he does not give up (his malicious ways).
Even having lost his eyes, he will not be defeated.

Admirable.
However, we must take one thing into consideration:
He only has his work to focus on, whereas we probably also have a house to take care of, and maybe friends, family, circles of people we regularly see, and so on and so forth.

We do not have just one job, we’d lose our eyes for and still keep going.
And that, makes it complicated.

Even in Romeo and Juliet-like tales, where the main characters center their life around romance, ignoring the social code;
The war it causes illustrates this immediately has consequences.

The truth is, it doesn’t really matter what you center your life around;
Career, romance, running, your health, activism or (my suggestion) your creativity;
It always, comes at a cost.

Life has been designed in a way that allows only for shallow, on-the-fly constantly interrupted interactions, that would not even have counted as connection, a few decades ago.

If you want anything of meaning, you’re going to have to create it yourself.

The more junk-interactions you have, particularly online, consuming rather than creating or connecting;
The less value all those interactions have.

And the happier the big tech companies are, to whom you’re feeding your entire consciousness.
Instead of to doing things that matter.

Value is only in the things you’d lose your eyes for.

how can it serve you | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today

how can it serve you

Providing!
You thought life through and know what your purpose is because by now you live and breathe it and could recognize it deaf, blind, drunk, and with your hands bound behind your back;

Then why are you not wildly excited about whatever it is you are currently doing?

—

In my twenties I knew someone whose academic curriculum contained a book called: “Children need fairy tales” and I was also introduced to the work by Joseph Campbell, The Hero’s Journey.

Both were, in all probability, a useful addition to my education since I got my highschool education in the years when the Greeks were not part of it.
Our history classes started with the Romans, something my mother pointed out to me and I believed she even asked our history teacher why the Greeks were not part of Canon.

Naturally, at the time I thought her concern with this was merely her professional pre-occupation with the topic, and didn’t think much of it.

But just like children who are raised without sugar (I was ALSO raised without sugar, so I can attest to this from experience) I developed a fascination with it.
Through mysterious ways of boyfriends giving me books on the subject (without them being on my wish list), fan fiction (you may want to look that up, in case you’re unfamiliar with the term) where the Greeks became a popular topic after the early 21st century Greek revival in movies;
And numerous other ways, I learned Greek mythology in a deeply intimate way…

And what both the fairy tales as well as the Greeks have in common, is pointed out in Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.

Because they’re quests, which you cannot successfully fulfil unless you have first overcome the series of challenges directly on your path.

You are trained by the path itself, as you are on your way.
In the unfolding, you receive what you need later on.

Nothing is ever wasted.

stop messing with purpose | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

stop messing with purpose

Beneath the doubt, the fear, the constant checking;
Behind the yearning for validation, recognition, someone to lean on or even just to lean with!

You know why it is you’re here.

Today I walked the streets of a rebuilt Roman neighborhood.

I got lost in their alleys, I ate at their inn, I discovered their city villa, centered around the small enclosed courtyard of stone.

I missed the penis sign which had made me wonder years ago, if it was supposed to depict a brothel.
A rebuilt brothel which we had not entered because it had been under construction, but now that I was there, seven years later, I forgot to go into the building and check.
I did not remember.

But I also climbed the wide white stairs of the palace, a wooden throne at its center which the visitors could not sit on.
But it was clear this palace and the large square surrounded by walls, belonged to the ruler of the village.
The palace and its stairs a stage, more than a functional way to enter a home.

And I stood there, in front of an imaginary crowd who had gathered to see their new ruler and I said:
“I shall be your first female senator, and I am your ruler! You will all bow to me!”
And this was after I had already lingered at a high terrace balconies overlooking a hill, saying:
“I could order the troops from here.”
And in my mind I could already hear a horn.

It were playful thoughts and probably inspired by role players who were at the site. I could see roman soldiers left, right and center.
But still the moments lingered in my mind.
They were fiction, yes, but fiction that resonated.

And I realized that whatever it is we do believe we are here to do, it deserves to be lived like that.

We need to find our point of focus, of power, of truth.
To live it, to speak it, to wear it.

Until we can hear the sound of the horn.

the path precedes the purpose | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 10 12

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

the path precedes the purpose

The unfolding, the divinations, the visioning and the connection to a Higher Being, should not be creations of the mind.

But rather a joined-at-the-hip quest.

Where the best prediction of your destination is based on the lessons you are learning along the way.

—

There is a scene in The Wedding Singer (1998), where a groom who has been left at the altar by his bride-to-be, is sitting on a porch as she tries to explain to him why she sees no future for the two of them.
Until he answers:
“Once again, things that could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY!!”

Screaming the last words out in frustration.

That’s me, doing self-reflection.

As I get older, my appreciation for everyone who manages to go through life either just setting one foot in front of the other, or who can settle on one philosophy (such as “There is only love”) or a religion of sorts;
Has been on the rise.

Everyone who shows up at the altar without making a scene, and in appreciation of all the wonder, and with a happy heart?
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice…. 

Understanding Life in a cognitive way, the way I do, certainly has its merits.
But the tremendous mistakes I have made along the way are of a magnitude reserved for people who reflect with an intensity that this whole life simply isn’t intended for.

From the looks of it, I think it would be much more pleasant to simply always show up at the proverbial altar and enjoying the ride.

But for some of us, and that definitely includes me, a special place in hell is created right here on earth, where we look back and trace our steps until the truth is standing right in front of us in white dress, making us feel unlovable because of all the mistakes we made years ago.
Things that could have been brought to our attention in 1998, so to speak.

And it’s not that we disagree with her, we can see she has a point.
But what’s the purpose of knowing that years ago (or decades, if you have the privilege being old enough), you took a wrong turn?

Those are the moments we wish the hardest we had been one of those Living In The Moment Type of People.
At least we would have enjoyed the road we travelled!

Maybe roads already travelled are not meant to be analyzed any more than needing to know someone who already left us at the altar thinks we were unworthy of their love.

Or, plot twist, alternative ending, director’s cut;
What if nothing went wrong?
What if this was the way the movie was set up all along?

What if our bad decisions are actually the 100% correct ones, giving us exactly what we needed to move the story forward?

We too, can walk in Faith.

Not faith that we will be able to face adversity and that we will make something out of our lives because we are surrounded by friends and loved ones.
Because we are the ones sitting on that porch, alone, with the exception of the odd one stopping by to tell us how disappointed they are in us.

But we have something else.

We can trust that the road we chose, as well as the lessons it has taught us, are what is required for where we are going.

Our purpose is an unfolding one.
Our practice one of faith, trusting not so much in a happy ending, but that whatever it was we learned;
It will one day be needed.

It will be what we give out.

The Spool writes at the 25th anniversary of The Wedding Singer, about Robbie  (Adam Sandler) overcoming heartbreak and finding the love of his life (Drew Berrymore):

“Robbie and Julia don’t end up together because the script demands it,
but because they were truly meant to be,
and the fact that the viewer truly believes that is a kind of rare magic.” 

If Robbie’s first fiancee had not left him so brutally, the fairy tale romance with Drew Berrymore would not have happened.
Yet it is the very fact that she did leave him, which was the most accurate prediction for what was in store for Robbie.

The One you’re really supposed to be with, or alternatively, The One you’re really supposed to BE?
It was never missed because of past mistakes which have left you at the altar and to have painful conversations at the porch.

Instead, it will be brought into your life because of it.
It was a sign, of what is still to come.

Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.

In areas that are not part of your natural creative expression, we can fall prey to intellectually designing them.

But in those other areas, what you skillfully did, was to create the space for it to happen.
To arrive, to unfold.

Get yourself and your affairs in order to receive.

original posted on my social media
28 June 2023

There was a bit of a crisis at Casa Catacombe, the past week or so.

If I had written this post from scratch today, instead of scrolling back to 2023’s Instagram for the text;
Retrieving the design from my old Canva;
And adjusting it to the formats I currently use – with the original photo missing from the Canva database, and not being able to choose the layout I wanted;

Then this post would not, have been about receiving.

It would be more hustle grind and definitely less flowy.

But I can see now that Receiving is (of course) exactly the right topic for today. My crisis was indeed about having resistance to creating space to receive.

The way I see it, excavating this text 15 months later, is that your work (as in what costs effort) is not what other people think your work is.
It’s not your craft, not your profession, not your talent or your gift.

“your natural creative expression” as the text calls is, in indeed the absolute least of our worries!

I remember there is this “thing” among professionals, that you have to invest in “sharpening the saw”.
That you have to invest in staying skilled at what it is you do.

Where in my opinion if you are called and have a purpose, that saw will be sharpening itself hour after hour after day after week after year.
Not a moment will go by when you are not nurturing it, everything you experience will directly feed into it.

If you have our type of saw, it does not need sharpening.

However, the problem we, people with self-sharpening saws, have is that everything else does not get done.
What the post calls:
“areas that are not part of your natural creative expression”

Definitely true!
In 2024 just like 2023.
Remember, the reason you have that Super Saw, is indeed because you have created space in your life so that Saw can sharpen itself day and night.
And regularly go on a much desired spin.

You’re not going to keep that creative saw you’re carrying there, in your shed!
Oh no.
You’re wielding it, it doesn’t have secrets for you.

However, what 2023’s post did not mention, and what 10 days of crisis at the Catacombe Casa can tell you, is that if you have this auto-sharpening, running saw, that you love to ride like others drive their motorcycle?
The *checks notes*, “areas that are not part of your natural creative expression”, will have a hard time getting a place in your life!

So yes, realize “all” you need to do , to receive in those areas, is indeed to create space for them.
True that.
But it does mean you have to carve out time, and a safe space for these blessings to land, with a free-spinning creative saw on the loose.

And that?
Can require some thought 😉

And for the unlucky ones, a crisis or two.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And additionally to that, there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.

set your biggest (love) goals this weekend | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 31

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

set your biggest (love) goals this weekend

The only purpose worthy of your life, is the one that generates the most love.

And not to receive love, because I do not believe that is what the adulated aspired for.

But where can you give the greatest love?

Or where can you divide your generous heart over many, perhaps millions, different souls.

Where can you give, the most.

—

It happened decades ago and although I didn’t integrate the memory immediately;
When I chose my own path, in 2006, I was quick to dig this one up from old agendas.

What had been that day, or more specifically, that night?
The one I knew I would have more time for now, to contemplate over.

My thoughts of other men, or remembering their presence, no longer came with the sense of guilt.
I was free now, to think of whomever I wanted and whenever I wanted.

And I found the memory back.
And although there was more engaging or more worthy evidence of our encounter, to me these simples dates at the end of August, would turn out as the one that stuck.

The 30th and 31st of August.
Year after year after year.

And for the longest time, I thought it had something to do with the promise of the new schoolyear (on the Northern Hemisphere).
Although regular schools usually started in August already, and it was only in academics where I cannot remember ever starting in August.

Throughout my youth summer holidays had always ended in August, yet September 1st started ingraining itself as a kind of done-for-you, actionable “January 1st”!
All you have to do is follow the lines, because someone already has a plan for you for the upcoming ten months.

So my sweet memories of that night blended with the calm and sturdy productivity of the year ahead.
No longer knowing which was which, and just enjoying the flow of moving into the new year.

Until today it suddenly hit me, what it had been about that night that had made it so special.
So memorable, that it was one of the first things I excavated from my past as soon as I became single.

And that it had actually been a night of deep love.

A night of feeling so unabashedly for another human being.
And with the other not just reciprocating, although he certainly did, but more than that, it was someone who could receive.

Someone who thought it was totally normal and logical, and appropriate that I liked being with him.
As underdeveloped our psychology was at the time, simply because there wasn’t much awareness about how to create a space, a relationship, between two people – in many ways 21st century ten year olds are more socially adept then him and me must have been then-
And yet, I believe there was a sense of We between us.

There was an incredible level of trust, and we felt that and shared things and built intimacy in a way that I would have a hard time recalling ever repeating that.

And certainly, not in that short a time.

It was a sea of love, trust and mutual adulation, all wrapped up into one night together.

And when I say dream your biggest dreams this weekend. Find your purpose. And let it be love.
Then yes, I know the aspects of our lives that we control are limited. Chance encounters cannot be planned. And you cannot build your next ten months assuming there will be any.

But what you can do is to let the stories of when you loved the most, when you were totally smitten, help you stand your ground in choosing your projects and priorities.

What are the topics, the people, the activities, where you are overflowing with love you have to share?

And to promise yourself, that you will start by “chasing” those. Choosing love. And that the only reason to abandon it is if a bigger love, suddenly comes your way.

decide the endgame | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 08 13

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

decide the endgame

When time is running out and budgets are cut;
If turmoil rises on the horizon.

On the final day, when death has rung your doorbell and you know it won’t be long now.

How will you leave your mark?

—

There are few things that scare me more than the idea that in the final day of my life there will be something I do mindlessly.
Check news, which is no longer relevant.
A social media feed which only distracts me from my final hours in this 3D world and physical body.
Pulling away attention reserved for loved ones, should I be so lucky to have them.

And counting back from that moment, you get a ripple effect. A wider scope.

And after having started with your last moments, the center or core of the circle, you find yourself increasingly intolerant towards any of those things being there the final week.
Month.
Year.

Until you realize that something which is irrelevant in the final moments, probably doesn’t do a great job at making a positive contribution to your life now either.

And vice versa;
That if you would choose it then, you should make it a priority now as well.

Now there are exceptions of course – surviving in this world requires significant financial means, and losing those can get you in severe trouble.

Same goes for your health: If you don’t take care of your body the best you can, this also influences your life in terms of quality and length.
That too is a dance, just like leveraging your time and money.

But still I think coming at it from the perspective of you literal, personal endgame, how you want to spend the final day, gives you a better perspective than if you mindlessly react to everything on your path.
Knowing what ultimately matters and what doesn’t, makes the choice a better informed one.

But all this, is still what I would call our human, endgame.
If you have professional goals, then that is a separate topic to think about.
What is your professional endgame?

First start with after you die – is there a part that you want to live on?
If so, then how can it be preserved?
Do you need to make arrangements for it to be managed by someone else?
And if so what is needed to give it the right financial means or organizational or legal structure? 

Then comes the final decade of your working life, which can be the actual final decade of your life, or maybe you want to retire and hand over the ownership of your legacy earlier.
Like a retirement.

But either way, how would you like your final working years to look like?
Are you a Picasso working until late in life?
And if so – then what is the work that is uniquely you?
You’re at Masterlevel now.
What is it, you have mastered?

The skills you see yourself growing into, and getting better at with age, should already have an important role in your life today.
In particular if it is an area where you still want to grow a lot in, and hope to master your craft at a level that is much higher than what you have today.

This vision for the final working years of your life, so that’s before you leave your legacy one way or another, should be KNOWN, to you.
You should have an understanding of what your endgame is.

definition of endgame Merriam-Webster:

the stage of a chess game after major reduction of forces
also : the final stage of some action or process

Having enough money to retire and do the things you didn’t have time for during your working life, is how we are taught to think about retirement.

But if you are an artist, a writer, a scientist, a philanthropist or anyone who has spent their life working on their vision;
You need something else.

A longterm plan about how your work will be passed on.
And what that means for today.

You need to start working on your endgame.

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

It is up for you to take it.

yeah but you are the work | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 07 30

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

yeah but you are the work

Not the planning, not the getting ready for it.
Not the training for it or the doing it until you retire or sell the place.

You’re not the spider in the web and you’re not the team player unless it’s your team, or unless you’re the hired gun.

You don’t necessarily sleep alone, nor own the things you use on a daily basis.
But could if you wanted to and could if you needed to.

You’re not about that.

—

I have more than once assessed someone wrongly, where I could have bet my yoga mat I was talking to someone on purpose, on path, in full self-expression and on that exciting edge between what you can still do, and what will probably have you cannibalizing on resources including that of your own body.
And still you’ll do it, just to see if you can.

I’ve seen them glowing, and I have literally been on the verge of expressing my happiness for them, the words already on the tip of my tongue/
When suddenly I heard that this?
Oh, it’s all just temporary!

It was either all just a means to an end.
For money, for social interactions, or because sitting at home was driving them nuts.
Nothing fancy.
Or it was what they chose to do, but it would never define them. It was not that important.

Or, the alternative;
They told me it was all just for fun.
Pastime.
Didn’t mean anything and they would soon need to go back into the real world, because we’d all sign up to live that way if we could but we just can’t.

And then more often than not, they actually did.
Left their ways behind and focused on what they claimed really mattered. 

And the other times I lost track of them, so I don’t know if they ultimately chose to discard or walk away from what I saw as the one thing they would never get tired of.
Never get bored with.
And would always find new ways to love, to change, and to play with.

Or am I wrong, thinking to this day that we are here to let ourselves be captivated by the work we do?
That we are meant to fall for that unusual lifestyle that fits us like a glove.
Called for a reason, to serve the higher purpose that will takeover and mark everything we do.

Am I wrong?

Was I wrong to think it made their heart beat, ran through their veins and was encoded into their very DNA?

Fortunately, it doesn’t really matter.
But do me a favor, will you?
Get the answer right, when it comes to your own life.

And be absolutely hellbent about it.

your strength was given | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today 2024 07 29

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

your strength was given

They say to travel fast go alone, and to travel far go with a group.
But travel to where?
And why?

Your purpose was given in the ground under your feet.
The air in your lungs.
The vision burning in your mind.

Bright as the summer sun.

—

Strength and purpose do not come from knowing where you want to go.
Of course, I know the stories of people accomplishing their dreams, and moving from not having to having, but I do not know them well enough to vouch for the dream being the key ingredient to their accomplishment later on.

What I do know is that in general a dream, when held as a defined target, causes stress, lack of faith, and anything but wise decisions.
So much is at stake.
It’s like even having the dream is disempowering.

When the actual strength to accomplishing them, seems to come from something else.
From an understanding and an appreciation, of the day to day action you can take and right on the spot where you currently are.

It is when you fall in love with what you could call “working on the dream”, that it will give you wings.
The dream now being, to be allowed to do the actual work.

The dream itself little more than a guiding principle.
An inspirational thought, but not a reason-to.
Not a have-to-or-else.

It is the ones who have deeply embraced and gotten serious, with their daily tasks, trusting it is the commitment itself that is the reward;
It is those ones, you will recognize as being the strongest of will, of character.

In this phase there is no longer “execution”, because that implies the actions are tied to a higher purpose which was first made actionable.
When the things you do every day can still be replaced by other, more effective means, you’re not there yet.

You’re there when you have stopped looking.

And you have immersed yourself with joy, purpose and dedication in mundane, repetitive tasks and you forget any connection they have to what you may have thought your dream was;
It is then, that you are on path.

Purpose is not to chase for your dreams.
But to be so on path, you completely forgot about them.

you are imprinted | What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today | third of the “Lost Posts” series | 2024 02 24 + 2023 06 27 (OG)

Published on by Suzanne BeenackersLeave a comment

you are imprinted

99% of all you accomplished came from beyond.
And that is where it comes from still.

What is available for you, has already made itself known.

 

original posted on my social media
27 June 2023

A few years ago, I started a website for my non-rock related pieces.
Which was something I never expected to need, because I have an alterego where I can discuss all the movie-related, artistic, and meta topics I want!
Had it for over 15 years.

An entire identity, fully separate from being Suzanne Beenackers, the Rock Star Writer from Nijmegen The Netherlands (who did not come into being until 2019, when I started the Rock Star Writer website)

So why on earth, would I need a new English blog for my deepest thoughts, about the nature of art, the source of our calling;
And about the nature of time, space and how we can be in it, in a creative way?

Instead of resorting to our day-to-day grind which suffocates and dumbs down the complexity of not just the nature of reality, but our very humanness….

Couldn’t I just keep the complex stuff “over there”, with my alter-ego, and allow for my work under my real name to be limited to the rock star topics, the yoga topics, and a Dutch blog which main purpose was to keep me connected to the world I am actually living in?

Could I for once, ignore the meta, far-and-beyond level of Life, if not to not burden my readers then to not mess up my status as a professional?

Apparently;
No.

And for the first year or so, the blog which I thought was going to be just a little something extra, brought forth my most profound work under my real name.
And it was even so good, that I nicked some of them, to publish in a book under my secret alter-ego.

It was obvious that even if it was for no one else, I, personally, needed this website to keep myself connected to this world behind the veil.
And to do it under the name of Suzanne Beenackers.

The website I started was called World between Worlds, and although the  final post is from 18 months ago (and a project I dropped after one post);
The older work is consistent and profound.

When I recently had to extend the subscription to keep the url/domain up , -an annual event that is bound to spark feelings of “do I really need this”!- I did so understanding that the answer was, and would always be:
“Yes”.

Because regardless of how you call it, God, Source, The Universe, or prefer to think in terms of the quantum and parallel realities like “World between Worlds”, like I did;
Every artist, and that includes any alter-ego you create, needs access to it.

Because we are not the creators in this world;
We are only its voice, we are its hands, we are the ones who transfer the world of the metaphysical into the physical.

Whether we were chosen or appointed ourselves, or never bothered to think about how we ended up becoming what others perceive as the creators of this world;
We are only, ever, to bring forth what already lay beyond.

Nothing, ever, needs creating.
Not by us, anyway.

ABOUT THE LOST POST SERIES

I have been consistently posting “What Do Rock Stars Need To Hear Today” for a while now.
Starting June 2023, they found their final form as blogposts here on the Catacombe blog, pretty quickly.

But I’ve always been aware there were singular posts/ borderline poetry, still on social media, floating somewhere down my timeline.

Some at the beginning when I did not know what this series would be.
Some around the time in October/November 2023, when I lost access to this site.
And then a few in between.

And additionally to that, there are the ones I did post on the blog, but whose stories revolve around things I no longer offer.
I will retrieve those too;
And give them a new story, that has the timeless quality they deserve.
