And wow, I really talked! So sorry about rambling! I honestly had to get some of this off this chest. Religion-God and Jesus in particular-is something so very personal to me, and as a really private person, it’s so hard to talk about it with the people around me. I’m sure you don’t care one way or another, but it was nice to be able to ‘speak’ some of these things out loud.
Phys_Nut, this truly was a fantastic story. It was so well-written and heartfelt. This story truly touched something in me, and I thank you so much for that. Your characters-Gaius, Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, Uther, Gwen-were all so wonderfully portrayed, and I had so much fun getting to know them in this setting. I wish more people would read this story, because the message you’re sending out is so reassuring and hopeful and just beautiful.
Keep writing, always.

(P.S., Thanks for bring up the story of the Footprints in the Sand. I haven’t heard it since I was a kid, and it was lovely to hear again. My mom used to have a tablet with the story on the wall of her room, and I’m going to see if I could find one again. Once again, much thanks!)
I just want to say, that if i could, i would give you the biggest hug EVER, because everything you've gone through and thought, i've gone through and thought at one point or another. I too, was born and raised catholic, went to mass every sunday until i was 17, and never really thought in depth about god or religion or any of that, until i realised i was gay and suddenly, i was a part of this thing that hated who i am, and i couldn't accept that. I wrote this story in the space of only a few months, but the ideas behind it, the theories and all the beliefs that are expressed in it have been going through my head since i was 17, when i started questioning what religion was to me. I just knew that while i accepted God, there were a lot of things about the church that i couldn't and wouldn't accept, and writing was the only way i knew i could truly express myself.
Writing this story has really helped me accept religion into my life again, and like you, i've started going to mass again, which i'm quite enjoying now! I'm really glad that this story has helped you and that you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful, sincere and heartfelt comment, it really means a lot to me. :)
(we have the footprints on the sand story on a picture hanging up at home, and it really comforted me as a child, so i had to include it!
oh, and on a lighter note, i LOVE your icon, it's so cute! )
