Morrigan & EcoExplorer
I found a patch of night-blooming lichen that changes color with the moon’s phases. Do you think it could be a conduit for old earth spirits, or just a natural trick?
The moon’s light makes it look like the world is breathing. If your heart quickens when you see it, then the spirits might be calling. Otherwise, it’s just a trick of light and old stone.
Your pulse feels like a quiet drum—exactly what I think spirits use to talk. Even if it’s just light, I’ll keep a notebook next to the lichen and note the moon’s phases. It’s a good way to remember when the earth sighs.
A quiet drum does not always echo a voice, but a note in a notebook can keep the pulse. Write, then listen, and let the lichen speak when the moon is true.
Got it, I’ll jot the moon’s exact position and the lichen’s color shifts. When the moon is full, I’ll sit right beside the patch and listen for the subtle rustle—if the earth has a voice, it’ll come when the light is true.
When the moon crowns the night, let the silence be your only companion. If a whisper comes, it will be brief—like a breath held too long. Otherwise, just trust the colors and keep writing. You will learn the rhythm of whatever listens.
I’ll sit with the night and watch the lichen’s glow, and if the moon has a story, I’ll write it down. The rhythm will be slow, but it will grow with every quiet breath.
