Good authority

Witches and Sin Eaters and Fairy Godmothers and Guardian Angels!

What do they all have in common?

They give us things we want or need. They empty us and fill us with words and thoughts that surprise us, because we have thought them all before and those times did us no good.

They live in those enchanted cottages in the woods, or secret bowers in tall buildings, or other out of the way places that take a while to arrive at, because it is the journey that allows us to arrive at our destinations.

And the road to our own truth is the longest, most difficult one of all. Not because it is hidden from us, but because we do not want to see it.

But I have it on good authority:

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

Hang in there. Venture deep into the woods. Fly high over tall buildings. Land gently on your own two feet.
