time that i first saw him until he left, and i don’t know how long he had been working on it before i saw him. just lovely. and of course it’s washed away today. but it was created, which is the important thing. i love all the little artistic things that are here, like the carved sign for the library. and time to really get to know him as he really is. the two things that will get me there are accepting him as my companion and allowing him to help me get to know myself. in that journey of self-discovery, i will discover him.
