So often we are afraid of missing out; but if you allow the World of Honey-Covered Hooks to siphon off your attention, what you will have missed out on is you.

Every year with ceaseless wonderment, the withered branches of Winter burst forth with Spring leaves. Every year with ceaseless surrender, the luminous branches of Autumn offer their leaves to the forest floor. And yet, somehow we expect people to remain exactly the same. — Frank Inzan Owen

A new album-drop by cosmopsychonaut Steve Roach…Sentient Being. Enjoy, fellow sentient beings.

Why Wayfarers Walk on Moonlit Nights: a multi-part poem at the end of the Wood Snake Cycle: open.substack.com/pub/thelumin...

a pre-Year of the Fire Horse poem at The Luminous Procession, entitled “Tipping of the Scales,” by Frank Inzan Owen: open.substack.com/pub/thelumin...

In East Asian astrology we are coming to the end of the Cycle of the Wood Snake (the final push of shedding) before entering the next cycle on February 17, the Cycle of the Fire Horse (acceleration, heat, energy, focus). It’s a good time to ask: “What do I need to put down so I can move forward?” ☯️🌀

Hence the hermit and wandering pilgrimage leanings of so many of the Wayfaring poets of the Far East.
