Hello Wonderful Reader, Today I've chosen a special erotic poem and writing prompts for you to explore your too-muchness and wild expansiveness. So grab a pen and paper, and let's get started. Desert Pools By Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933) I love too much; I am a river Surging with spring that seeks the sea,I am too generous a giver, Love will not stoop to drink of me.His feet will turn to desert places Shadowless, reft of rain and dew,Where stars stare down with sharpened faces From heavens pitilessly blue.And there at midnight sick with faring He will stoop down in his desireTo slake the thirst grown past all bearing In stagnant water keen as fire.Source: Poets.org.

In Barovia, exhaustion isn't just a condition. It's a worldview.And when Session Twenty-Three began, that's exactly where we were—drained, bruised, and barely held together after ghosts, scarecrows, giant spiders, and one very opinionated abandoned manor.We left Argynvostholt like survivors crawling out of a collapsed mine, heading toward the only place in Barovia that still feels remotely like home: the Wizards of Wine Winery. A place with warmth, family, and maybe even joy, if the mist isn't listening too closely.But Barovia never lets you walk in peace.At dawn, we spotted the glow of a bonfire hidden in the trees. Urihorn scouted ahead and found—of course—a ritual sacrifice in progress. A druid and a pack of wild men preparing to carve open a bound stranger smeared with wolfsbane and nightshade. Classic Barovian hospitality.That stranger was Riven Thal. And he joined our party in the most Barovia way possible: crawling through the dirt, blasting his captors with Moonbeam from the top of a pine tree, and then refusing to come down because he did not trust us at all. Fair.Riven's introduction said everything we needed to know:this man survives. And he survives suspicious.After a tense standoff, he agreed to travel with us, keeping one eye on the road and one eye on us.But the day had other plans.Further along the Svalich Road, we found a small camp where Izek Strazni—the executioner who beheaded our former companion—was quietly chopping wood. Traxidor saw him and immediately tried to smite him out of existence.And that's when the forest exploded in fire.A teenage wizard came screaming out of the trees—Victor Vallakovich, the old Burgomaster's son—and launched a Fireball straight into our group. Urihorn's panther died instantly. The rest of us barely stayed standing. Traxidor tried to heal himself, but Victor Counterspelled him like he was swatting a fly. Daermon charmed the boy before he could kill us all.And then came the twist.Izek, freed from the Hold Person spell, didn't attack.He explained. Calmly. Honestly. Maybe even painfully.Our friend Valen'eir—the wizard Izek executed—had murdered a young gravedigger, confessed to serving Strahd, and threatened Vallaki. Izek claimed he was carrying out justice, not vengeance.The explanation didn't fix anything, but it changed everything.Suddenly the question wasn't “Is Izek evil?”It was “What do we not know about each other?”Riven watched this unfold like someone judging a very poorly run cult. Urihorn remembered that Van Richten once warned him Radley and Daermon might secretly serve Strahd. And at that moment, it didn't feel crazy.Both sides stepped back. A truce. A temporary ceasefire.Izek dragged the charmed Victor away. Ravens descended to pick at the scorched remains of Urihorn's panther.When we finally reached the Wizards of Wine, the Martikovs welcomed us like family returning from war. Dinner was warm, loud, and painfully normal—until Danika reminded us of a truth Barovia never lets you forget:“Barovia has only one ruler.”The table fell silent. And in that silence, someone noticed something impossible.Urihorn—our halfling ranger, our loyal friend—did not cast a shadow.In a land ruled by a vampire, a missing shadow isn't a quirk.It's a warning.And that's where Session Twenty-Three ends—not with a battle, but with a question.If Barovia takes pieces of you one at a time…who will you be when it's done?

Barovia doesn't believe in quiet mornings.The sun doesn't rise so much as negotiate with the fog, and when the party left Argynvostholt—bruised, burned, and out of everything but sarcasm—they were just trying to make it to the Wizards of Wine without adding another ghost to their growing collection.But the Svalich Road had other ideas.As the grey dawn crept in, the flicker of a bonfire appeared between the trees. Cut to: pine forest, heavy mist, silhouettes moving around a ritual circle. Urihorn scouts ahead and finds a scene straight out of a Barovian horror mural: wild druids preparing a sacrifice. Their prisoner—bound, smeared with wolfsbane, mugwort, and nightshade—is Riven Thal.What happens next is chaos.Cut to arrows, spell flashes, a druid collapsing into ash under Riven's Moonbeam. Riven, newly transformed into a chimeric cat, bolts up a tree and refuses to come down. He stares at the party through branches, glowing eyes full of mistrust. When he finally shifts back, he drops Moonbeam like a glowing warning line between himself and us.And that's how Riven joins the group: cautious, wounded, and deeply convinced we might be worse than the cultists.The road continues. The fog thickens. The camera follows the party to the next clearing where another campfire burns low. And standing there—with an axe and the world's worst timing—is Izek Strazni, Vallaki's executioner. The man who beheaded our former companion Valen'eir.Traxidor sees him and snaps.Cut to: Guiding Bolt blasting across the grass. Radley joins in. Daermon, too. Riven casts Hold Person just to stop the cleric from doing something irreversible.And then the forest explodes.A teenage wizard bursts from the trees, screaming, “Leave him alone!” Cue the orange surge of a Fireball blossoming across the clearing. Slow-mo: Urihorn's panther hurled backward and instantly killed. Radley shielding himself. Traxidor thrown to his knees. Riven staggering from the blast.The boy is Victor Vallakovich—son of Vallaki's previous burgomaster, amateur necromancer, full-time disaster. When Traxidor tries to heal, Victor flicks off a Counterspell like he's dismissing an insect. Daermon charms him before he unleashes round two.Then everything stops.Izek breaks free of the magical paralysis but doesn't attack. Instead, he talks. And the truth he gives is nothing like the one we built in our heads. According to Izek, our fallen companion Valen'eir murdered Milivoj the gravedigger, confessed to serving Strahd, and promised the town would burn. And the next day, Vallaki did.As the truth settles, even the fog seems to pause. Ravens circle overhead. Victor awkwardly waves at Daermon. And Izek, dragging the boy away, tells us to leave him be.Cut to ravens descending to peck at the remains of Urihorn's panther. A grim little epilogue to the morning.Finally, the party reaches the Wizards of Wine. Warm light. Family. Safety, or something like it. Over dinner, the Martikovs debate Vallaki's future, but Danika ends the conversation with a single chilling line:“Barovia has only one ruler.”The whole room goes quiet. The fire pops. And that's when someone notices something wrong—something impossible.Urihorn, sitting among friends, bathed in candlelight…does not cast a shadow.Cut to black.

Sunday Service with Nick Giovacchini The Shadowless Relationship We often chase the idea of a perfect, painless relationship—but what if that's just a mirage? This talk explores how real spiritual partnership isn't about avoiding the shadow, but embracing it as a path to healing, growth, and wholeness.
