My recent posts have been directed away from myself and more towards a bigger picture, and will continue to do so for the most part. However, I wanted to add something more personal to try and illuminate my motives and where some of these thoughts have come from.

A little more than a year ago, I came up with an idea for a novel that has consumed my thoughts outside of my academic studies. While it is many things, its main focus is centered around the journey of the soul, ultimately taking my mind down many different avenues that I just now feel willing to share.

My story, which I am calling Metanoia, is the result of an intersection of a few interests. These are science, spirituality, and the study of numerology (how numbers effect ourselves and the world around us). The imaginary world I have created has sprung from these three things, and where my mind will be over the course of these next few years.

The novel consists of 9 parts, each being an entire lifetime. I recently finished the first life, and have been gearing up to write the next, hopefully finishing it by the end of this summer. With my current plan, I will be able to finish Metanoia in four years. Im looking forward to documenting this journey here, and am excited to see what becomes of it. As I wrote in the conclusion of my first journal dedicated towards Metanoia: “I am seeking with all my heart and mind, something that can be taken from the things I perceive every day. I am waiting for the needle and guidance behind the pattern of the stitches holding this fabric together to reveal itself”
