Consider also:

  1. “ritual ordeals which test the faith of someone being initiated into an ascetic spiritual discipline.”
  2. You adapted, and you made sacrifices. You did it for your children or for love. You did it because of illness or because of an accident. You did it because you had new dreams
  3. “Beauty, the sacred lotus: let me say The word, and make my purity complete. The whole is mine, and shall I keep a part? O Beauty, I must see thee as thou art!”
  4. “one might be taken for one of those dreadful advanced people that are always clamouring for free thought, and free speech, and free everything”
  5. “Her nails were crooked pink sloth-hooks and her bony, nervous hands made clutching, Nosferatu shadows across her concave belly.”

I use affiliate links on this blog when possible. Affiliate links include Amazon, Bookshop, Abebooks; and less frequently Powell's and DriveThruRPG. I may earn a small commission if you click through and make purchases.

I run ads on this site to help pay the bills and keep the lights on, including Google, Amazon, and, a scrappy indie network, ComicAd. If you use an ad blocker, consider becoming an ongoing supporter on Patreon, Bandcamp, or Ko-Fi to chip in and continue guilt free.

Some images on this site are created using AI/ML generators (MidJourney and Dall-E) when posts otherwise wouldn't have pictures or they seem fun to me to add.
