Petals of the Oracle and Sacred Tides
Excerpt ✍️
A maze is designed to get you lost.
But a labyrinth has one path.
It leads you in… and then it brings you back out again.Maybe it was never a maze.
Maybe it was always a labyrinth
meant to be walked, not solved.
Not outsmarted, but felt.
Survived. Trusted.And Dionysus…
he was never the destination.
Not the reward waiting at the center.
He was the one who cracked the gate open.
The one who, without even realizing it,
gave me permission to walk forward.That night,
I wasn’t walking any path.
I was falling through it.
