Nothing but the sun in it beckons to me and the lack of nature has me wanting to gag. I wanted you to know that I did take the time to read, even with my revulsion at the image prompt.<br /><br />The above was my initial response to let people know I was present even in my feelings. When I read again, I noticed your reference to Mabon and the building up of external things, trying to be other than our nature.
