I am not at all religious but I place my hands on others. Then to a greater and lesser extent they feel better. You come from ancient Clan. Is "Sparrow' your "Amakua" totem, Animal friend/Spirit?
go to
https://www.facebook.com/glenn.j.barr and you see some of my Amakua. Whales. Riding them. Kissing them and such. It happens by Magic and spells caste but you won't share that? Yeah? lol.
I'm a firm believer in science. It just has not caught up with our Clan!
