I am delighted you showed up. People who read are a rarity in this postmodern era, so your presence here is applauded.
I am Alexandra, also known among many by the anagram Xela. Etymologically, my name means ‘warrior against mankind’, and in a way, it defines me. I do wage a proverbial war against the status quo, the weapon I use is my inked feather (aka Macbook keyboard), and my battlefield is the worldwide web.
Writing is what I love doing most (besides playing the piano) and also what I do best. Subiteanous bursts of inspiration make words flow out of my pen. I used to publish my writings solely on social media, until a reader urged me to boost my lectorate and start a blog.
So here they are: my reflections about multiple issues faced by humanity in this new, post-pandemic world. I write about a myriad of subjects, including politics, the arts, theophilosophy, etymology, medicine, the environment, literature, and animal rights.
English is not my native language – Dutch and French are. But because of its beauty, richness, and international character, it is my language of choice to verbalise my thoughts.
Be welcome. Thoughtful comments are much appreciated.
