Drawn up, it speaks of The ghost is the unfinished visiting the finished, memory that hasn't been fully grieved or thanked yet. A gentle ghost is the psyche making room for the dead to be loved without being kept.

Drawn down, it warns of A haunting, insistent ghost is business left open, words unsaid, a season you exited without closing the door. It does not want to frighten you, it wants to be dismissed properly, with ceremony.
