Whispers from a hidden grove
“In every stone, a pulse. In every arch, a heartbeat.”
A confession: I have always found solace in the hallowed halls of cathedrals, their silence echoing with secrets that cradle my spirit. Yet, it is not merely the sanctity of these ancient structures that draws me in; it is the Green Man.
