The Starry Cave

“You carry away with you a reflection of me, a part of me. I dreamed you; I wished for your existence. You will always be a part of my life. If I love you, it must be because we shared, at some moment, the same imaginings, the same madness, the same stage.”                                                                                                                                    - Anaïs Nin Before the bones there were the dream of bones and with the arrival of bones came the root of ancestry.
