Between what matters and what seems to matter, how are we to judge wisely?

Ideally, we should bear the tumults of life with dignity and grace. After all, blessings may appear under the guise of pain, loss, or disappointment. If we but have the patience, and the courage, then perhaps one day we can see them as they truly are.

Gossip is a bit of a past time, and having a good gossip or two in your network just makes sense. It keeps you tapped in and it's the way into some of the best stories around.

"You weren't there, you don't know what he said to me," those were the words I was told when I came upon the scene. I confess I was a bit dubious until I finally managed to divine the truth of what had been said.
I have to admit...
Definitely would have done the same thing.

How fatal sometimes is the consequence of one's own curiosity - and that of other's, too.

There are times when it is pointless to argue, or to develop a reasoned response to another person's absurd assertion. These things are not worthy of an answer, rather, they are deserving of dismissal.

Death notices are not usually a source of great fun. If one should not speak ill of the recently dead, unless they were utter monsters, one should not speak facetiously of them, either.
The temptation is nevertheless great. On learning of another's passing, I said to my children, "You should never say anything bad about the dead, only good. They are dead. Good."

I have been forced to reflect upon the sheer number of suspicious disappearances, deaths and outright murders of many of my family and friends, and confess to a sudden alarm. If I knew no better, I would wonder if we were under some sort of curse.
I also begin to understand why it is we Mazetti abstained from Arx for so many, many years, and why my uncle was so adamantly opposed to my decision to come here in the first place.
Maybe it isn't us. Maybe it's Arx.
I write as one grieved.

Relationship Note on Cirroch
I wish that I were writing something different. Something funnier, perhaps. Certainly wittier, and more heartwarming. The truth is, I hate writing these things. (Is there a soul that does?) I hate them because of what they represent, and what, by putting my quill to parchment, I am yet again forced to face: the death of a friend, a loved one.
I hate that you're gone, and I hate the ones that stole your life. I hate them without mercy. I hate that your wife has lost her husband and their children their father.
We were supposed to get together for a proper dinner now that Sasha has returned to Arx, but I couldn't find the time. That's always my problem, so wedded to my duty. But now you're gone, and that, along with so many other plans (and things unplanned) can never happen.
I'm no poet. I never have the right words - or rather, I never feel as though I do, and that I am letting the one who is gone from us down in some way. Yet I do not think as though Cirroch would agree with me. I think he'd find it all just right, and wonder why I was wasting so much time over my choice of words when we could be outside, in the sunshine - or perhaps a puddle. I also think he'd remind me that he fought willingly, and that he fought to protect others, as is right.
I'll never forget the trust you placed in me. May you rest in peace, my friend.

On a completely unrelated topic, there is some new artwork within the manor that I both adore and am driven to madness by. I almost hope that the artist will one day produce more on the subject matter, and yet I wonder if at that point I would finally understand the saying "too much of a good thing."

Relationship Note on Ilira
I spent a most wonderful evening with Ilira Whisper. It is not often I have the opportunity to visit the Whisper House, so when the invitation came, I was only too glad to accept it. The true delight, however, was the conversation we shared. I am perhaps in the minority when it comes to admitting that a very difficult question was posed to me, and I am grateful for it. We should all be so fortunate as to have someone in our lives who can present us with such questions, as well as patiently listen to our answers.
