set it free
Tal pouts as she brushes glue along the edges of her beloved milkshake cut-out. “I dohhhhn-t wahhhnt to let it gooooooo!”
“Can you…” Cal lifts Tal’s chin with gentle fingers, “… think of it… as sharing?”

How cool is that?
I once talked with her via phone when she was 96. She told me about her work welding ships during WWII. How when her husband, Uncle Howard, came home from the Navy he became quite ill. He had TB and spent years in a sanatorium -- without the invention of Streptomycin he likely would have died.

Your depiction of the Muse community offers a look at how an emotionally intelligent community might function. Not like trained parrots at all. Rather the regard for one another, and allowing space/love for the others, to live their truest selves.
I’ll close by saying that this follower is grateful for the themes you provide for seeking and living in harmony.
