A dear friend of mine made this song for me
"At some point, you have to stop running and turn around and face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it."

Povitrulya
Air-maidens, or povitrulya, are Ukrainian mythological beings very similar to swan maidens or valkyries. They are capable of flight and often end up living with men who steal their skin/clothes.
This is similar to the stories of how Wayland the Smith and his brothers stole swan garments from a group of valkyries. Following is an excerpt from the tale of wife-povitrulya:
The lad was wandering the forest and saw a group of twelve air-maidens bathing in a lake. They left their clothes on the shore. He took and hid one. The maidens got out of the lake. Eleven flew off, while one stayed there naked. She asked the lad to give the clothes back, but he didn’t and took her home.

Stone labyrinths in Iceland, Finland, Russia and the Isles of Scilly.
From the Middle Ages to the 18-19th Century, fishermen in Scandinavia, the British Isles, and around the Baltic Sea would build these labyrinths at their fishing camps as they waited for favourable winds. Fishermen would walk them for good luck at sea, and hunters and farmers would walk them to avoid unwanted encounters with predators.

High standards are essential. However, when these standards are unrealistic, both women and men become oblivious to authentic beauty and genuine love. There is beauty in imperfection - an alluring charm that is perfect in its own right.
