" Always remember where your true armor lies- in the relationships you forge and the love you invest in others."
Aidyn The Gardener…………Krystle Delihue
Gregory the Gargoyle …………Jonathan Jones
The Keeper…………Luna Alexander
We come to the Inn on a cold foggy day. The Keeper has us join Dr Aidyn Swankin, the Gardener in the Solarium where she is adjusting many pots for overwintering. We are sent on the task of watering the moonflower in the heart of the warm tropical room.. We take a rest beside a gargoyle in the center of the tropical room, named Greg, who tells us the story of how Mackinaw Island was formed when Mikinaak the snapping turtle waged war on the Anishinaabeg people. He reminds us that armor is often a hollow shell and that our strength lies in the friends and communities we build around us.
This episode is dedicated to the Niswimishkodewinan, the People of the Three Fires Confederacy: the Ojibwe, Odawa & Potawatomi Nations and for Chris who first gave me seeds for the Moonflower: fingers crossed they grow beautiful & strong this year!
