Never think we grew together in the same womb. If you seen me an Lugh together, you’d never think we was the same blood. I believe Pa wishes he’d never met that traveler. I see the way he looks at Lugh sometimes. Pa never says what he sees in the night sky but you can see it lays heavy on him.īecause you cain’t change what’s writ en.Įven if Pa was to say what he knew, even if he was to warn you, it would stil come to pass. ![]() What’s gone, what’s now an what’s stil to come.īack when Pa was a boy, he met up with a traveler, a man who knew many things. If you know how to read the stars, you can read the story of people’s lives. Even what kinda person yer gonna be, good or bad. The time of yer birthin, the time of yer death. It was al set in the stars the moment the world began. The lives of everybody stil waitin to be born. The lives of everybody who’s ever bin born. Lugh goes first, always first, an I fol ow on behind. ![]()
