The Mystery of Xena Harris: An Enigma in the Arts and Sciences 🌿🔍

She glides through life as an unobtrusive presence—both shy and in-your-face. Xena Harris is an Environmental Scientist not unlike a librarian of secrecy. She interacts with the world as a meditator, an expert in the occult arts of the human factor. The Earth speaks to her not like the wind through the trees, but in riddles: big, unfathomable riddles. And boy does she listen, listen, listen.

Xena, born of a crescent moon in a coastal town engrossed in fog, rode on a tricycle through childhood, becoming intimately acquainted with the layers of nature before she could walk. At five, she could distinguish poisonous plants based on scent. By twelve, she could identify every owl species' migrations based on feathers on her neighbor or classmates' properties. Now? she reads the alchemical magic of lichen to prognosticate delays, botanic transcriptions of ecosystems before anyone else can. So rare, I mean... supernatural. 🌙✨

Xena navigates landscapes where most would turn back—abandoned mines buzzing with toxic energy, glaciers crying about life they can barely remember, and forests where trees can remember things. She has been referred to as a "modern day druid" from colleagues that saw with their own eyes her single, murmured incantation quelling a storm weather warning. (Or was that perfectly timed human will? We may never know.)

Xena is not just a scientist. Xena is a paradox. She has tattoos of extinct, showy flora that are hidden under her well-worn lab coat for a Science symposium. Xena's field notes are documented in a cryptic code even cryptographers can't decipher. And when she is not saving the world? She is sitting at the bar of a dark, hip jazz club, sipping absinthe - a riddle for strangers in time wondering if she is a genius... or another ordinary ghost. 🕵️‍♀️🍸

Follow her, if you dare. Just remember, the deeper you search, the crazier your nighttime dreamscapes will become - and the more you will question what is real... and what you have been seeing all along in the body of a ghost.
