Cladonia novochlorophaea

Recently I was showing Cladonias to a child and was trying to explain what a goblet was, since I told her they were often called fairy goblets or fairy cups, and she said "they look more like Shrek's ears to me," and I just had to be like " . . . yeah, you've got me there."

I am human, I am bones

Just seafoam bound in flesh

She whispers back in the wind 🌤🌊✨

I added this chant throughout the process to instill intent:

All these fears and all these sorrows WILL NOT FUCKING follow me into tomorrow!
