Fables For The Modern Warrior
The brave seekers of life's true calling who dare to follow their pursuit of passion with relentless and often exhausting persistence, we see you.
The time you sacrifice for the path you are following will be worthwhile.
Today, I want to take you on a journey of persistence and offer some tips and ideas along the way.
Content asks you, the reader, to engage with it. I want content always to have value; never take more than you give.
Sometimes, a little levity in the form of a story is a pleasant reprieve and a useful teaching tool.
Alice, Order of Maps
Stitched together by constellations and boundless wonder, a secret society, the Cartographers of the Infinite. They are tasked not with mapping the physical world but with the unseen threads that connect everything: hope, knowledge, and dreams. Alice, the youngest Cartographer, is at the center of this story and entrusted with a powerful artifact—harmony, the very order in balance.
 Alice is all who wonder of wandering further and farther. |  As with all tales of adventure, overcoming fear of the unknown is the primary theme. |

Alice grew up in a small, forgotten village at the edge of a vast desert where the stars burned brightest.
While others saw the stars as distant specks of light, Alice saw them as windows into infinite possibility.

Her insatiable curiosity earned her the nickname "Stargazer," but many dismissed her dreams entirely.
Eventually, the latter won over, and Alice traded parts of her childhood self to earn her seat at the table, lead, and provide.
She was, after all, a warrior by any other name. All modern warriors are wounded souls waiting for the interruption in the battle to realize the armor isn't who they are (for another story).
As the village slept beneath the heavy mantle of convention, Alice made a quiet promise to herself: to trust the inner guide that had always set her apart and to seek the wisdom hidden in the cosmic tapestry.
Like Alice looking at the stars, we must return to our sense of awe. AI becomes far more than an opaque algorithm once we see it as a tool for amplifying our inherent curiosity.
