i hold up a mirror for The Femme Triumvirate: Bit, Arwen and Gemme who inspire any baby steps toward bravery that i am ever able to make. your splendid gloriosity makes it possible for me to twinkle like a little star.
i hold up a mirror for Violane, Fairy Crow Shaman. your words and your calling powers are mystical and beautiful and true. i believe in magic because you are yourself.
i hold up a mirror for every one of you who speaks their truth, using words that are personally meaningful and calling on experiences that i could never know entirely even if i stood side by side with you while your story unfolded, regardless of naysaying and derision. i honor you for every hard won realization and stumbling step toward personal enlightenment and i pray to all that is wise i may follow in your footsteps and never ever ever take for granted the work of those who learned the harsh beauty of life before i did.
