The Growing Distance Between Us

If We Didn't Feel Pain, it Wouldn't Be Love.

Miles travel between you and I. I stand at the edge of the still sea, portals of light ebb within the tranquil water. I step upon this sky, my eyes reflect the stars which shine so brilliantly. As I dive into the sea, I swim towards the closest star, I need to grasp it in order to feel it, it is one of our blissful memories.

I am finally a few feet away from this star, one of the portals to the Sun which is hidden within the earth. I sob as a current drags me from the warmth and nearer to the shallows, where the water brings winter to the soul; it is the place where the bones begin to freeze and where the oxygen thins dramatically.

This whirlpool finally wrestles me back to the surface. It's only been a few hours yet I have lost count of how many times I've been brought back. It seems to matter not where I dive. My strength has sunk from its peak, yet there are many places my feet have not yet touched, so I will not grow too weak to travel this ocean vast. I know that I will find that place where knowledge holds my grieving soul. Though distance forces us apart, we shall never grow distant within each other's hearts.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
