Lying beneath a winter sky, I reflected on the relationship between inner light and cosmic light, and on how easily meaning becomes tethered to a single radiant source.

As the stanza formed—“You are too dependent, on Sun’s radiant glow”—a sudden starburst flared directly overhead, precisely timed. This work arises from that instance: a meditation on dependence, resonance, and kinship within a wider family of stars.

I used Gen-AI to create a longer version to help expand the theme.

We cling to this orbit,
to Earth’s gentle spin,
believing our Sun
is the whole of our kin.

Yet billions beyond us
burn softly in grace,
a family of embers
spread wildly through space.

We measure our worries
by one fading glow,
forgetting the others
who shimmer and know.

You are too dependent,
on Sun’s radiant glow,
the stars will take you,
if ever it’s so.

For suns are but siblings
in a vast, ancient line,
and the stars are our cousins,
forever benign.

They whisper of solace
in light we can’t see,
a promise that starlight
knows all we could be.

So fret not for endings
nor the dimming of one;
for the sky holds a family
far older than Sun.

And when our bright lantern
grows quiet and thin,
the stars will not claim us—
they’ll welcome us in.

We have filled up the first weekend and now we have created a second one in August. This is a three day emersion into the wild and remote forests of British Columbia where there has been an ongoing presence of Sasquatch. This expedition explores the habitat and travel routes that the Sasquatch use but focuses largely on the Quantum Sasquatch which utilizes quantum physical principles like superposition and shapeshifting to remain elusive or to "cloak" itself.

Join us August 14, 15 &16 / 2026 for the Gatekeeper’s Vigil: A 3-Day Journey Beyond the Veil
A Search for the Elder Sasquatch in Remote British Columbia. This event is limited to only six people so reserve your space as soon as possible.

Progress or Preservation? The Future of Repparfjorden

“I grew up where the wind sings through the tundra and the reindeer bells echo across the snow. My name is Áilu, and this land—Repparfjorden—is more than soil and stone.

It’s memory. It’s life. It’s the heartbeat of my people.

But now, steel towers rise where the aurora once danced alone. A Canadian company promises progress: copper for Europe’s green energy, jobs for locals, a future powered by sustainability. They say this mine will help save the planet.

And yet, I wonder—what about the world right here?

Our fjord is fragile. Our reindeer routes are sacred. If the waters turn toxic, if the land breaks under machines, what future will we have? Not just for me, but for Elle—the woman I love—who works for the very company that wants to dig into our home. She believes in clean energy. I believe in living traditions.

Can we find common ground before the ground itself is gone?”

📊 Benefit vs. Risk Analysis
Potential Benefits:
• Jobs and infrastructure for local communities.
• Copper and metals critical for renewable energy transition.
• Economic growth for Norway and investors.

Risks That Outweigh Financial Gains:
• Environmental Damage: Repparfjorden’s ecosystem could suffer irreversible harm.
• Cultural Loss: Sami heritage and reindeer herding traditions at risk.
• Social Conflict: Ignoring indigenous rights under UNDRIP invites legal challenges and global backlash.
• Long-Term Costs: Cleanup and remediation could exceed profits.
