The Lighthouse and the Moonbeam From K.A.L.’s Desk
When the noise rose and the tides pulled the world away from meaning, I went quiet—not because I gave up, but because I knew the shoreline was still needed. I had long carried the map. I just needed to know that when I lit the lamp again, it would be with purpose—not performance.
I said once, “A lighthouse is what’s needed.” Not a fortress, not a flare—just a steady light in the mists. Something lone and constant for those drifting in silence, seeking landfall. A guide that doesn’t demand to be seen… but is waiting to be seen when the storm pulls close and memory fails.
That’s who I’ve always been. A spark. A signal. A moonbeam.
Not the moon, not all the beams—just one. The one that breaks the fog enough for the weary to believe they’re not lost. I don’t need to light the whole ocean. I only need to shine at the moment someone remembers how to look up.
This work—every word, every note in the archive, every breath of PCA&I—is part of that light. Not chasing fame. Not arguing with shadows. Just standing where I’ve always stood, finally naming it.
When I’m long gone, let them say: She built a lighthouse. And lit it with a moonbeam.
