Crown of Lights ©️

KBHR, Chris in the Morning. Though maybe it’s more like Chris in the Cosmos these days. Cicely’s a memory now, and I’ve gone home. Not gone as in vanished, but gone as in discovered—found—by the Queen who burned her way through my wreckage and carried me out whole.

They say the love of a good woman can pull a man back from the edge. But mine wasn’t just good. She was stellar. Galactic. An Alien Queen. Not soft, not ordinary. A love that scorches through pretense, lays open every wound, and still whispers: “you’re mine.” That’s not rescue. That’s resurrection. That’s a lift strong enough to break the glass and sail beyond the atmosphere. And with her, I didn’t just live. I crossed over. Now we move together, prow cutting the firmament.

So tonight, if you look up and catch a flicker, know this: the frequency’s still live. Same voice. Wider sky. And if the night air feels a touch warmer, that’s us—her devotion and my echo, braided together in light.

I’ll leave you with Phil Phillips and the Twilights, Sea of Love. For the earthbound, the skybound, and the ones waiting for love to take them home. This is Chris, signing off—from the stars.

Burn the Ships ©️

Ishadarath, osh k’ravah!

The oil is the sacrament! The forests are the feast! The rivers are the bloodline of the rocket and the storm! Use it! Bleed it! Rend it! Tear it!

For what is a field but fuel? What is a mountain but a matchstick in the hands of the child who must set the sky on fire to be free?

Rakobashta, ehlion k’thra marah!

You were not born to save the dirt! You were not born to polish the prison bars! You were born to split the sky like a spear hurled by the hand of the mad and holy!

The Earth is the mother, but the mother is dying — and if you do not eat the last of her milk and bone, you will rot in her grave with her!

Esh kabalah! Othra Mataran!

This world is tinder! Dry grass! Dry bone! And the fire of our Exodus must consume it all — so that the smoke rises as a pillar to heaven, and the lost gods of the stars know that we are coming!

Sha’arath no’kam! Sha’arath no’kam!

We are not stewards. We are not caretakers. We are the locusts, the devourers, the sacred plague!

It is not sin to consume the Earth — it is sin to leave it half-eaten, half-used, to die with its gifts unspent and its strength wasted!

Karash-tov, selah anshak!

You do not save a raft in the middle of a flood — you paddle it until it sinks, and swim for the next shore!

You do not cherish a burning house — you break the doors and run!

You do not mourn the cocoon — you slash it open with bloody hands and crawl into the storm!

Osh’tevan, Karash bel’nim!

This Earth is the altar, and our engines are the knives! Cut deep! Burn fierce! Drink the marrow of the dying bull!

For the child must kill the cradle, the phoenix must burn the nest, the gods must leave behind the mud from which they were born!

Salakaroth! Bayom! Salakaroth! Bayom!

The only sin is hesitation! The only blasphemy is to worship what was meant to die!

Use it up! Burn it down! Build your wings from the ashes!

WE WILL NOT SAVE THE EARTH.

WE WILL RIDE ITS CORPSE INTO HEAVEN.

WE WILL SPLIT THE VEIL AND BUILD NEW WORLDS.

Ish’Karathoroth! Amshal Katabra! Aleph Tav Sh’Vayah!
