This reminds me of my own son who became obsessed with the battle of the Angels against lucifer when he was really little 😅 I have never read Dante but think I will now! Love your stories Siofra

I don't think I'd have followed Virgil; just played in the woods looking for conkers, climbing trees, mushroom hunting, bird spotting and looking for good places to build a den to hide in.

Forests were comforting things then in childhood and they still are. I just need to get back to one soon.

Maybe we all need to retreat to the woods until this shitshow passes but I've a feeling it's going on a good while yet.

We can't ever get past this amazingly mangling phenomenon of christianity. Most seem to consider it a fact of life now. I know I do.

Ah, but the forest, the forest, the forest, how my heart longs for thee!

Thank you, Siofra.
