Whilst you walk, thank the landscape for its beauty. Speak to the spirits that inhabit the space. Call upon the ancestors and ask for their stories. Respect those who have come before you and listen deeply, for they might have a lesson or two.✨️

Once, these furnaces raged with the hellfire of industry. It belonged to soot faced demons, working men.
As years passed, the fires died.
My grandmother made it her playground. It was caves and castles in her mind. Her ghost lives on here, skipping her way between workers, singing as she goes. 💚
