Wow. This is such an exquisite piece. ♥️ I feel the mystic ache of a heart between worlds.

Have you ever heard of the story The Secret of Roan Inish? There’s a book and a movie. Your writing here reminds me so much of that story.

Such a compliment coming from you ❤️ Thank you for the kind words, friend. And yes I have! Whilst researching lore I came across the story—I watched the film just this past week! I loved it 🌙✨

Beautiful and relatable as a chronic illness warrior, like you. Also, the English professor in me swooned over your allusions and work with lore. You are so gifted, Ashley.
