  Hello everyone, I am Diana Eakin, or that's what I have been calling myself for a couple years now. Though that was not always the case. I doubt any reader would know otherwise.

Poem by Brittany of the Unicorns See the embers become the stars above in the sky and voice of space They become their own fires in the sky that are the light on our face These show the bright love in our lives, that is the hearth of the home Everything is bigger and smaller versions of each other, under a dome Big and small, the universe is an organism, and so is the multiverse Each is like a cell inside, layers of cells indeed, so vast and diverse. We are the multiverse, universe, galaxy, stars, sun, moon, and earth. Great goddesses, gives us the fire from the stars to light our hearth Want to see this earlier? Support us on Patreon!
