Claim your space. Draw a circle of light around it. Push back against the dark. Don't just survive. Celebrate.

And when I'm dead and in a box in the dark dark ground, and all my various souls have died and I am nothing but insensible bones, something in the marrow will still feel yearning, desire persisting beyond flesh.
