"I have often wondered what is going to happen next, but no matter what, I know that I'm full of hope.
Hope that the Spirit we call Athi will see her Forest in light for the first time.
Hope that she will realise what beauty has been growing in the darkness.
Hope that the Spirits she will meet in her Garden will be beautiful and kind.
Hope that she will find rest and comfort even when the trees have lost their leaves.
And hope that she will finally know the truth - that this Forest is hers, not just in name."

From my journal.

Suffice to say, yesterday went really well :)

Those who know what's up, don't spoil the surprise for those who don't, I'll explain it to everyone in time. If that's you however, thank you for sticking this out with me. I hope you'll like what's coming!

My deepest gratitude to  dolphiana for this wonderful traditional piece, who was incredibly patient with me.

Wish you all a wonderful Winter.
