I Kissed The Borg Queen

Fear rises in me like a hellhound: anxiety is a plague fire, sweeping through my dry bones: the black cloud of trauma cloaks me: depression persecutes like a schoolyard bully: despair, that posturing demon, I know him intimately, he crouches outside my mind-doorlooking for a little contact. If I hold the neutral mind, and suspend engagement, I can capture these hellhounds, and train them, and drive them, and transform them into the charity of a book, a film, a play, a podcast, a life.

If I am brave enough to kiss the borg queen (but not be assimilated) I can exchange my great traumas for the coin of Wisdom, freshly stamped from the Royal Mint.
