It brings magic into my mind.
Sending me into Earthsea.
Where dreams and fantasy are reality.

It's about death.

From the center of the world we go east, to the dawning of possibility. We direct ourselves south, sun scorched and dying, full of dead illusions and bondage. We go west, and we have forgotten all things that were and are. We forget what anything means, what color is, what our very names and our purpose is. After, we lost ourselves, and in finding a soft place to land, we are attacked. When we have truly lost, we are surrendered as king-slaves, owned by a charity glorious.

We find death in the North-West, yet ever more west than north, near the gap of the sun. We find death who sought life, and life after giving all of it up to the yawning mouth of ivory shores.

To chase and to find, is to go nowhere and gain nothing. Rather, it is in staying still that the winds of fate are caught in our sails.

At least, that's what I saw in her writing.

It's about life.
