"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

Proserpina

The spousal unit bought me a writing desk. 'Oh wait', you say, 'but didn’t you already have one?' Yes I did, but it was our old farm table. We still have it but since we re-vamped the kitchen, we needed it in there. And so now, not only do I write on a new table, but I write in a new room. That’s right. Whilst waiting for my new desk, I used the kitchen table to tap on my computer. I liked the communal atmosphere, so when my new desk arrived, I hesitated going back upstairs to the writing room, which is now a dedicated guest room, so I created a new one.

Inspiration is slow, given the new surroundings, and as you see, the underworld space isn’t broken-in yet.

I’m sure the words will start flowing once they feel comfortable enough to venture out of the mind and onto the screen. Right now, they are a little shy.

Proserpina, in her mysterious connection to the cycles of loss and renewal is the Queen of the Underworld. She is a symbol of rebirth and new growth; new power.

This is my new deepening place.
This is my new beginning.
