Another statuette for my project has been finished. Now I sit in the garden, a mug of water next to me and ink staining my fingertips. I don't even know where the ink came from. There was no ink on his statuette. Perhaps it was from scribbling missives to let the sponsor of the statuette and the subject know it was finished and they could come look. Perhaps in the daze of having finished it I simply picked up an inkwell and stuck my fingertips in it. Or maybe it's from sitting down to write this journal entry.
I feel as if my head has been emptied. I shall gaze up at the stars in a quietude now, and wait for Jayus to come calling once more.
Seven statuettes finished.
Six statuettes to go.

Smiles are best brought out with a dance. Even when one might be feeling a loss that they will never find in another again. A simple dance which chimes with the river's flow, capturing all that the wind offers us.

The flow of a river will allow one to see both where it has been and where it is to go. The level of water the runs upon the creases of land allows for sight of when water was plentiful and when it was in drought.
The body is similar to this, as well as the city. Where one might not be aware that they are being watched, a motion which was done to bring a smile, or share a thought, or to grow closer to another instead of simply passing each other in the street. To seek another to share that moment with, is akin to the ebbs and flow of a river feeding to a confluence. Where two meet for the first time, then mixing and combining to find their way out to the sea.
The first time leaving the shelter of the river where waters only bob to find oneself learning if they are strong enough to fight with the flow, dips, and towering waves of the sea. Is akin to stepping off of the boat into the city where you believe to find those that might think alike to you.
You don't know if they are there, ready in plain sight to hand you a rope and hoist the sails. Or if they will be just under the surface waiting for you to fail.
All you can do is look to the waters, watch their flow. Then feel the wind upon your face, and seek to have upon your back.
Water is life, then wind is breath.

No one can say my time has been spent frivolously. Rocco keeps giving me disapproving looks, our men look at me with discontent. They don't realize I caught them, but I did. You would think they would catch on when I make them run extra drills, but alas......Highhill is also on the market. It feels amazing on the skin and I think is pretty practical. I mean, when leather isn't worn.

Chats with Existentialism
You: Why is it that whenever loss comes to me, you follow?
Existentialism: I am always around. Loss just reminds you of my presence, reminds you of my inevitability. Because I am the absence of things. Loss reminds you, that you came from me, and to me you'll return. Dust to dust. All becomes me in time.
You: But it'll never be the same, now that it's gone.
Existentialism: You're right. It won't. But, it is the start of something different.

You: If you are inevitable, I will run from you. I will soak myself in bliss and ignore what lies ahead.

The dreams keep getting stronger. They must be let out, they need to dance, fly, lay about in waiting... There's twelve of them. and thus far only two are out in the wild, with two more sitting patiently to be released.
I doubt that they will ever make their way back to me. If they do... It will be a joyous moment to be able to share with the world at large. Though those that have them, might have them, could have them... They have greater concerns upon their eyes right now. Thus.
I will wait. releasing them in pairs until all of their brothers and sisters are free to be playing with each other again.

The sound of the river, often heard but taken for granted
Untl one stops to truly her the beauty of the water as it rushers over stone
But for one who can still the waters and silence the sound,
Treasure awaits on the fartherest bank, gleaming and glorious,sweet and savory
One must approach like a thief in the night to earn their prize
Will they hoard their prize or shakre the bounty?
Such is the choice of the treasure seeker

This week, I went somewhere I'd never been, tried something I was certain I never would, and learned something I never thought I would want to know.
I watched two dear friends celebrate their union in the company of others I enjoy. I saw the sunlight glinting off Graveyard of Swords and thought of those I haven't in an eternity. I received some necessary news that will allow me to move forward.
What a strange and wonderful week it's been. What fine company I've had for all of it.

Dawn of my darkness,
I would apologize to you for getting you at your lowest point. However, I seized an opportunity. Don't worry, your fourth husband will be charming. He cannot possibly be more handsome than me. You are older than me, my precious pin cushion, is your eye sight going? It's okay. I will still marry you, flaws and all. If I must. You aren't the worst out there.
I suppose it will be tolerable until my mysterious death.

Earlier, I had the joy of being the first to welcome the newest Saiks to the world. Lord Brio and Lady Coda, perfectly named in honor of their musical parents, are delightful. I'll never stop being amazed by just how tiny babies are. Toes like little garden peas! I've already promised Coda a pony. And if we're being honest? I'll probably buy Brio his first sword. Thankfully, I have a sister-by-marriage who doesn't seem overly concerned about my indulgent auntie behaviors. And who is incredibly strong. Don't underestimate her! That poor maid is going to have a bruised hand for a while.
Jokes aside - not the maid's hand, that isn't a joke, this woman has given me the opportunities I needed to set myself on a course I can be proud of. And I may misstep at times, but she can see the good intentions I carry. I'm so happy to be able to continue to serve my families both with her understanding.

Longest year of my life.
Autumn is my favorite season so I think it was why I was so susceptible to your barely there charm and your not quite there yet good looks.
Now I know not to be so agreeable in the future when the leaves change color.

Most esteemed Prince Noah Grayson - I am actually working on a dagger specifically for you and it will probably have griffins. Maybe purple ones on sooted black. Though now I'm thinking a complimenting pair of daggers might serve better. There are some quirks of design I'm still trying to figure out.

It was a wonderful wedding.
I credit much of the preparations of the event itself to my iconic sister-in-law, the Pearl of the Isles, for without her, I am certain I would have floundered and drowned under all the details I should be considering. Also the fine craftsmanship of Guildmaster Caprice Artiglio, with her expert needlework and keen eye, whose guidance and artistic sense have most definitely prevented me from whatever sartorial embarrassment I would have chosen for myself if left to my own devices.
I am also grateful to the guests who have attended, for taking the time to celebrate with us and share in our happiness, and all of the kind words, gifts and well-wishes we received. I have offered my prayers to both Limerance and Gild in hopes that all of your generosity and sincerity would be blessed in ways both great and small. You have all made the day so memorable, and seeing your smiles during it means the world to me.
And to the ladies of the Black Tide - you know who you are - I look forward to the next excursion. I will never forget what you have sprung on me the eve before, and it will forever be relegated to a special place in my heart.

Hm.
If I had feelings, I would be put out for being left out.
What about all I did for you?
Like staying away. Not messaging. Not caring?
Again, all I can say is, you're welcome.

Also the bet I lost to you for 20k hurt a bit too.
