I've read this so many times, and I never actually stopped to think about what it truly meant.

In my minds eye I pictured flax (the grain) with golden flowers, and him playing on the words, instead of spinning the grain, we would spin tales of lore. A true hint of the whimsical.. a flax golden tale...

I have no idea what he truly meant, however it is what we believe it to be.

Much love always,
