Red Roman

By Sasta Kuppan

UNCOVER THE MAGIC WITHIN

 

With its back facing the sun, the Red Roman runs through life seeking refuge in the shadows where the writer finds it firmly in poetry. Similar to this unusual sun spider— who builds its nest with the snipped hairs of unsuspecting sleepers—Sasta clips back her fears and consciously builds her nest with words.

Uncovering impostor syndrome, heartache, mental breaks, and a whole lot of life in between, Red Roman is the poetic sandstorm of one shadow chaser finally being brave enough to run headfirst into the sun.

 

"People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."

― Carl Jung, Psychology and Alchemy

To the givers, the takers, and the matchers:

Life is not amassed in equivalent exchange.

It is the willingness to be a part of something so beautiful that the Universe has no choice other than to bountifully bless you by your readiness to let love lead the way.

What magic lies within?

Solifugae: Those Who Flee From the Sun

The Red Roman Spider is an unusual creature. With its species stemming from the order Solifugae, it leaves a lot of mystery and wonder in the minds of those who find comfort in linear classifications. Though its name suggests attributes usually associated with spiders, its exterior resembles a scorpion in many ways due to its sizeable jaws and its menacing movements. The bite of the Red Roman may be excruciating, yet it is in no way venomous to humankind –  kind of like a
