Welcome 2026 — Fire Horse

Running Free

I’m shedding the skin of 2025, a year filled with catastrophic wars, human suffering and the rise of the idiot class. May 2026 bring its opposite — a year of peace, human dignity, and the rise of the enlightened. Wishing you and yours love, joy and kindness.

Quotes by Mary Lynn Bracht (?)

“You followed your heart. That is all I ever wished for both of my children. I'm proud of you ... of your choices for your own lives. I'm happy that they were yours to make. Nothing could give me more satisfaction as your mother. You have what I never dreamed of.”
― Mary Lynn Bracht, White Chrysanthemum

“I am a haenyeo. Like my mother, and her mother before her, like my sister will be one day, her daughters too - I was never anything but a woman of the sea. Neither you or any man can make me less than that.”
― Mary Lynn Bracht, White Chrysanthemum
