“It is a good thing to share light, and shadows, with a friend who can see with more than their eyes.”

In the deepest room of The Inn, we meet Sitka, a mysterious voice in the dark, who shares a warm light and tells the tale of The Rough Face Girl.

“Home is a place that you choose where you are chosen.”

A picturesque spring sunset at the Inn. The Keeper leads us to the warm barn to help Eliza the Stablemaster feed and care for the animals they keep at the Inn. Eliza tells us the story of her six siblings and herself - how they were turned to swans and how she worked over the years to free them. The home they’ve found in the Inn. The homes we find in each other and the importance of being a safe haven for all seeking refuge.

We come to the Inn on a cold foggy day. The Keeper has us join Dr Aidyn Swankin, the Gardener in the Solarium where she is adjusting many pots for overwintering. We are sent on the task of watering the moonflower in the heart of the warm tropical room.. We take a rest beside a gargoyle in the center of the tropical room, named Greg, who tells us the story of how Mackinaw Island was formed when Mikinaak the snapping turtle waged war on the Anishinaabeg people. He reminds us that armor is often a hollow shell and that our strength lies in the friends and communities we build around us.
This episode is dedicated to the Niswimishkodewinan, the People of the Three Fires Confederacy: the Ojibwe, Odawa & Potawatomi Nations and for Chris who first gave me seeds for the Moonflower: fingers crossed they grow beautiful & strong this year!
