Origin

The good and gracious 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 🏆@AoftheH has offered me a literary commission — my first — which I am honored and pleased to accept.

O Muses, your servant I am, hear my hopes:

Grant me a fine work, that I may be worthy of your gifts.

Your people do not remember the beginning. You do not remember your ancestors. You do not even remember your own births.

We do not remember the beginning. But we remember before the ancestors. We remember the ancestors. We remember our our births.

How different we are! And yet we meet, and speak, and share the ways our two peoples.
