I love all my mothers but the new mothers are both the most taxing and satisfying. When I see them again for their second and third births, it's incredibly reassuring to see them smile at me mid-contraction and announce, "There's the bitch that told me to shit myself when I had my first bairn!"
Out of context that shouldn't make anyone laugh. But me? I found it positively delightful. I'm happy to be remembered pleasantly during the hard moments of such a life-changing event.

Lost in my own head
Demons well-fed
Seeking light instead
Overworked in overtime
Remaining on my grind, double-time
Sometimes life is sour as a rind
Persevere and see what you find
Not one for the spotlight
I remain hidden in the twilight

I'm drowning in my apogee
I'm draining from between my teeth
Don't wake, don't wake up
Don't wake me while I'm dreaming
Don't wake up, don't wake up
I've seen things you could not believe
I'm draining from between my teeth
Don't wake, don't wake up

We can fall in love or we can go insane
We can play it rough or take it safe
Don't matter what's above, our destinies are made

Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me, but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut

Please, don't hide your imperfections nature
Took two tries to make the man in white
No, I don't mind, you are a beauty
Not temptation, you're my creation.

Dreams made real with hope and choice in hand,
Their beauty shines and brightens up the day,
As I move forward through the shifting sand,
My heart and mind so full of hopeful play.
But when I'm driven by compulsion's weight,
And bound by chains of sorrow and despair,
The nightmares come and bring me to my fate,
With no escape, no way to get out there.
So let me choose the path of hope and light,
And keep my dreams alive with all my might,
For in the end, it's my choice to make things right,
And make this world a place of hope and light.

It's a good day to be able to watch my nephews take in what they have been learning and put it to good use. It also was good to know that Tregva and Violeta were on top of the small diversion that was required within the city market to whisk children to their proper locations.
What was that scholar?
No. I haven't the faintest idea of what you're on about. I'm speaking of a meat stick. The market has them, very tasty. Deep fried even.

Roofus has been leading me all about the city on walks lately. Dear reader, know that if I ever offended anyone by bringing my dog somewhere, it was very probably not intentional.
A side note-to-self: some sort of very interesting honey whiskey to be found at the Trader's Tavern. Need to send someone back to get a few bottles for the manor...

I appreciate all the Archlector has done for me recently, introducing me to new people, showing me around the Lodge, and generally being an inviting and wise person. It is nice to the wooded paths more clearly now.

It's nearly mulled wine season, which is probably my favourite season.
..I wonder if anyone would buy my mulling spice blend, if I put some in the shop? How have I never thought of this before?

It seems I have acquired a tutor who says she can help me be a better general. I recall her telling me some of her story but clearly I do not know enough of it. It seems I will have ample opportunity to learn more.

Is Fall ever going to come?
Or do I just have to melt before that happens?

I like having goals, Scholar. Beating Ian Kennex up at the training centre is a worthy goal to have, I think. If nothing else, I want to see the look on his face when I manage it. Yes, I said 'when' - I'm not old enough to have slowed down that much.

My Most Beloved Readers,
I do hope your souls are found to be in perfect condition and there is nothing weighing too much upon it. If there is, please don't think twice about reaching out. I will listen and I will only offer advice if it is asked for. We all must travel our own paths, but it does not mean we cannot lean on another.
I have been thinking about trust. Is it not an exquisite sort of thing? If you really break down the thoughts of it. There is so much caring and hope that is cast out when one trusts another. It should always be respected. However, sometimes through our actions, decisions, words, or even our inactions we break that trust. What is it that we do to repair it? Is that not how the heart wonders. For a heart wound is the worst sort of wounds. I would say time and compassion leads us there. However, we must also understand that it will never again be how it was before it was broken. The people are never the same. That hurts my heart. There is always a shard that we hold in our hearts, as they never fully mend from broken trust and betrayal.
I caution all be wise with words and actions as they have a ripple effect on lives around us. Sometimes we do not realize the things we put in motion we cannot take out of motion. Or we are unwilling to do what we must to stop a boulder already rolling.
Be the wonderful beings that you are and as always be kind.

Once again, I find myself in the city of Arx. Dear reader, it has been far too long. While I love my dear, noble, ever-interesting family, I will also love a bit of time away from them and from Graypeak. A bit of change should be refreshing.
I will very much like to see how the city itself has changed in my absence. Perhaps I might meet a friend or two to help me re-acclimate? I could certainly use one. And a protege, if the opportunity presents, and then it's been far too long since I found a good tailor, or a jeweler, and as much as I love my Banda, hearing a new bard might be nice, and...
Well, I could sit here writing about what I wish I had all night, but it's such a lovely evening. Perhaps I'll take Roofus on a walk and see what I might see.
