“Feel fully, or don’t bother feeling at all.” THIS.

I might have thought this of every piece of the series but this one is my favorite! How synchronistic, I was thinking exactly about the consequences of the Inquisition period the other day (I shed a tear or two) and the impact it still has on human beings and you wrote "Centuries have passed since the trials, but those old warnings live on in quieter forms today. We can hear them every time someone tells us to tone it down, to be ‘nice,’ to play small. Thankfully, though, not everyone listens to these injunctions." And that's so true, I feel like the Witch within all is awakening and this time, no attempt to control us will work... this time fear won't get a hold of us, but wisdom.

The final part of the article is brilliant, pure poetry and magic. Let's have a light-hearted laugh and keep moving forward! Thank you for your work!
