It begins, as all good days--and all good journeys--do: with a cup of tea.

Heyyyyyy yep that’s my project too, go follow the new blog🎉
With chagrin, I announce…
Well.
I did it.
I well and truly lost the password for this Tumblr account.
So! Introducing, for the new year, our bright and shiny new Tumblr blog, which is exactly like this Tumblr blog. Only, you know, I remembered to save the password.
This blog will essentially remain an archive for as long as Tumblr holds onto dormant accounts. I hope you enjoy our 2023 “Wanders” project here. If you like what you see, come visit us at our current home!

Ah.. Stunning story
Wanders: Week 42
Art by Rama Thorn
Words by Nicole Hawberry
Tumblr media
You follow the path of packed earth until it, too, comes to an end, winding to the ocean as most trails eventually do. Here is the edge of your world. Beyond this, no map has been drawn.
It is not, however, the end of your journey.
In the morning, as you repacked, you found a small bell at the bottom of your bag, one you’d almost forgotten, one that rings with a sound like raindrops on crystal.
Now, standing on the beach of grey sand, you make it sing into the salt-sharpened air.
For a moment, nothing happens but that the waves continue to breathe over the shore. Then a robed monarch rises from the sea, impossibly beautiful and more graceful than anything you’ve seen.
“Child,” they say, because for them, all living beings are children. “What would you ask of me?”
To cross the ocean, you say. To see what lies beyond.
“And what would you give me in return?”
You’ve thought long about this, and you think perhaps only the vial of golden magic—given to you by a friend—is valuable enough for a boon such as this.
The monarch, however, shakes their head when you make the offer. “Keep that,” they say. “You will need that where you go. No. I will carry you in exchange for a story. Do you have one for me?”
You do. And you think it is just long enough to span your trip across the waves, if you don’t recount it too fast. It begins with a cup of tea and a forest.
“Good. Let us call it a fair exchange then. Come. I’ll show you what lies beyond.”
And so they take you through the waves to a place very few ever travel, where tales begin and end and begin again.

The journey is almost over🥺
Wanders: Week 41
Art by Rama Thorn
Words by Nicole Hawberry

You reach the end of the paved road. Beyond this, the way continues as packed earth and stones, designed not by intention but by the tread of countless feet over many decades.
In a way, it feels like you are beginning once more, although a little wiser and weather-worn. The packed-earth path twists out of view. You aren’t sure where it leads—but you’ll soon find out.
You have vague memories of mountain peaks and conversing with the stars. In your pockets, you carry two secrets and a tiny, frozen purple flower. There’s also a bottle of blueberry syrup made by a friend.
Around a bend in the path, you find a number of cottages. A woman dressed in lace hails you from the porch of one. Savory-smelling smoke pours from the chimney above her.
“You must have traveled a long way,” she says. “You should come to dinner.”
So you do.
When you are done, she will accept nothing for payment except a silken ribbon from your pack. You recall that it was a gift to you; you also recall that it had been blue and red. Now you see it is only red.
“Oh, this will do nicely,” your hostess says, and twines it into her costume. For a moment, it coils as if in a wind, and you have the fleeting memory of billowing mist. Then it drapes along the line of her hood, and it is just a red ribbon, and the air is calm and warm with lingering smells of food.
“Stay the night,” she offers.
The guest bed is comfortable, and through the window, you can see the night sky.

This is what you’ve learned: take time to prepare your coffee in the morning. Let your thoughts float wild before you step into the day. Each morning comes only once.

Wanders: Week 37
Art by Rama Thorn
Words by Nicole Hawberry

Before you left them, your friends gave you one more thing for your journey: the name of an acquaintance, and directions.
You arrive at the small stone cottage described by your friends, and there you find the master of chop sticks. You tell your story and make your request.
“All right. I will teach you how to fight,” they say. “But first I will teach you how to avoid a fight, how to escape a fight, and how to cook good ramen.”
