This is so beautiful. I would like to hear you read as well. The first Rune in Gaelic, Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, and Germanic is "cow"

Juli Gabrielli thanks for finding this and sharing.

That is an awesome fact! Thank you so much for telling me. It's basically a list of languages my ancestors spoke, too.

Short and poignant. Setting the stage for more stories to come and I can't wait to read. And the photo - spot on choice.
