- I know the lore. I’ve read Elizas stories. it’s tender to read of it again
- I always feel loss (ironically) when I read her stories. Lost things, spaces, people. Losing. Yearning. Searching. impermanence. I don’t know how to feel about that.
- there’s a word I learned recently closely related to nostalgia that escapes me. P***algia?-sadness in losing tradition, a life lived, culture.

Harinuos love song
- such horror veiled in beautiful words
- I had to google so many references
- ayin Adonai also has Hebrew roots. Was that intentional?
- Everything was poetry

“And yet, the stories we don’t know are just as fascinating g. Philippine mythology is rife with those unfilled spaces that kindle the imagination.”
So bittersweet. What’s lost can only be found through interpretations. But how nice that becomes inspiration.
