This is gorgeous writing. But it’s unsettling too. I don’t know if you’re describing a dream, a warning, or some kind of coded belief system. Either way, I’m hooked. The section about teaching children to name birds before letters, that gave me chills. It feels ancient. Sacred. But also like something we’re not ready for. My question is, what’s the takeaway? Are we meant to want this world? To avoid it? To mourn it? I’m not sure. But I want to read it again. And that means something.
