Ohhhh this is beautiful and it reminds me of the Old English word "wyrd," which "word" and "weird" come from now. It means fate because the Anglo Saxons believed that words have the power to change fate. I think as modern humans we often forget how powerful words are.
Thank you for sharing Jennie. I was lucky to get study Old English very briefly, and wish I could have learned more because the words are so evocative. 'Wyrd' sounds like an ancient spell in itself
Thank you for somehow both normalizing and romanticizing the ‘not writing’ part of the writing cycle. I’m there myself, and your words give me comfort.
Absolutely gorgeous writing.
Thank you for taking time to comment, it feels so nice to hear from readers!
