Voracious mail snails and a unexpected request.
My mothers voracious road side mail box snails were up to their old tricks again last week. All this talk of nature better off without human intervention, however my mothers mail snails manage to give their middle finger to this idea. They chewed through my letter, through the only English language paragraph (it had about 10 languages, repeating the same thing I imagine) that had been folded at the bottom of the envelope. This appeared to be an indicator that the week was not to be a regular week. My days were punctuated with multiple tune ins to my environment (like tipping ones hat in acknowledgement, as a greeting) to the elementals/Nature Spirits of the areas I walked in. A more unusual, but familiar in its type, request was from Larnoch Castle elementals who reached out to me one night. I'll explain this one next week as it was unusual for even me and requires a bit more space than fb/Ig will allow. Until then, I hope you're all enjoying the crazy holiday build up energy!
