A love story with alcohol
Satori with his adolescent rockstar aspirations starts to emulate a lifestyle of showmanship — Unapologetically free flowing he persists until the fiends of his mind come a-knocking, voicing their malevolent malcontent to his drunk and delirious thoughts.
Narrated in a lyrical blend of stream of consciousness prose, at its core the Thousand Arms deals with the issues of early age addiction and its subsequent mental health consequences.

Wu Wei
A blossom floating,
in the void.
Deep meditation.
Lightening slip through his eyes as they open. Butterflies rise in sudden realisation. A string of pearls moves down from the fractal.
Breathing.
The petal touches his palm. Awakening.
His skin breaks into a wild mesh of butterflies — dispersing the self.
He has returned to the symbols. All things echo him now.
