Some people keep grudges for centuries, it seems. Goodness gracious!

This is stunning work.

Thank you for reminding us that memory is more than mental—it is imaginal. The past, like the future, is not fixed but alive within consciousness. And when we dare to revisit it with feeling, it reveals depths the rational mind cannot reach.

You’ve given voice to the idea that stories—like identities—are not bound by time, but by belief. “I do not forget”—because the imaginal act never dies. It lingers until fulfilled.

Your words stir the unseen. They whisper to the reader: You are more than you remember.

Gratefully walking the edge between memory and myth,

Kurt 🕯️

Thank you, L.E.

I believe with all my being that we are not just remembering stories—we are writing them. Daily. Line by line.

The life I dream of doesn’t remain in ink or thought. I step into it, feel it, live it. Every word I write is a seed. Every feeling, a blueprint. I act from the end—not toward it. And in doing so, the dream becomes the scene. The imagined becomes the lived.

Reality is nothing but the outpictured echo of our inner assumptions. And when we dare to assume the feeling of our wish fulfilled, the screen of life responds like a mirror.

So yes, stories are shaped not by time, but belief—and belief shapes worlds.

Keep writing from the end.

Keep dreaming as if it were now.

Because it is.

Gratefully co-authoring reality,

Kurt 📖🕯️

Everyone can, you only have to to desire it with every fiber of your being. And be a psycho.
