A nostalgia of animal crackers, warm milk, a soft blanket, and luminescent white amber daydreams.
"One for sorrow,
Two for mirth,
Three for a wedding,
Four for a birth,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told,
Eight for a kiss,
Nine for a wish,
Ten for a suprise
You should be careful not to miss!"
- Traditional nursery rhyme to teach divination through birding, c. 1842
