The Final Renaissance

This is the way the decade ends...

It started as a simple creative experiment on September 11th, 2019: three notebooks, fifteen minutes of meditation, and whatever thoughts emerged in the aftermath. Write every night until the year's end. Fill the pages. Maybe harvest some song lyrics or short stories from them in the new year, the new decade.

The words that poured out weren't what I had hoped for, they were something else entirely.
Dystopian visions. Apocalyptic warnings. Mystic assertions, all with an increasingly Arthurian tone.

Then 2020 arrived and I quietly put away the three notebooks.

Enough time has now passed.
