Barn Owls

We're in a period of our lives right now where our daemon isn't talking as much, isn't present as much. She's still there, but further back. So we take a moment today to express that... these moments are okay and normal to have.

People who don't have a daemon aren't expected to be connected with their inner selves all of the time. People who aren't daemons aren't expected to be aware of themselves and project themselves into the world and provide and inner dialogue 100% of the time.

If you are like us right now, in a time when your daemon isn't as present as they used to. You're okay. You're fine.

Perhaps other interesting things are capturing your attention, like a new hobby or series. Perhaps you're more tired than usual. Perhaps a situation at work or school or in your family or in your country is taking all of your mental energy. Perhaps other aspects of your inner self require more attention right now. Perhaps you don't really have an explanation as to why. You're not a bad daemian. You're not a bad daemon. It's okay to feel sad or miss each other. We miss each other. Sometimes we yearn for a world like Lyra's where we could see, hear and hold each other without needing any brain power.

In case you want a few ideas of small things you can do in these times that don't require too much effort, here are a few things you can try:

Say good morning when you wake up, and good night before bed

Try to do projection for just a moment, like taking a picture, but don't strain to maintain it and don't aim for details

Have an image, small figurine or item that reminds you of your daemon and place it somewhere you will see it regularly

Say a little something to your daemon from time to time without expecting a response or a conversation to come out of it
