Ged also spoke low, to use his friend’s true name: “No matter, Estarriol. But this is myself, and I am glad to see you…”
[Estarriol] heard, perhaps, something more than simple gladness in his voice. He had not yet let go of Ged’s shoulder, and he said now, in the True Speech, “In trouble and from darkness you come, Ged, yet your coming is joy to me.”

I’m reading the Earthsea books for the first time… super recommend the first one to anyone in need of a heartfelt story of discovery and self acceptance… wow
Last week Ursula K Leguin passed away. She was the author of possibly my favorite book growing up, A Wizard of Earthsea. Here’s a little tribute to that story about accepting your true self, flaws and all, shadow and light.
