Relationship Note on Katya

What a fine display of needle art you showed. I am proud of you.

Seasons turn and summer turns to autumn where clear skies do not mean warm weather.
I don't let myself be dragged down and I am looking forward to the harvest season, with plenty of work
but also plenty of feasts.

Sometime ago, I was asked if I have found something which is stronger than my Wanderslust as I have been lingering in the city.
At that time I said I was not sure, contemplating what kept me in here.
it is true friendship.

Nothing better than a clash with reality to find out that there are some things I am better suited to than others.

And here I thought, that the contemplation write down here are just whispers in the wind.

Funny how things can suddenly turn up in the city and no one seems to have an idea as to who put them there, what they signify or who they belong to.
I have to remember this if I ever need an idea for a prank.
Then again, it would be sad if no one talked about it.
Kind of pointless for a prank.

Wisdom comes from most unexpected sources
"When you find yourself against a limitation, it's time to push harder.", I was told today.
But am I ready for that?
I will have to push open that door and see what will happen.

The wind decides where your ship will sail.
Either you can let yourself be carried swiftly by it, or you stubbornly tack and tack and tack again beating to windward.

Whenever I find out something new, I am tempted (okay, who am I kidding.. MORE than tempted) to flow along that new knowledge but if I do, I get carried away from where I wanted to go originally.
So I tack.
Why does it feel like I jibed instead and still go the wrong way?

Yesterday, I was asked if I have found something which is stronger than my Wanderslust as I have been lingering in the city.
At one point, I would have said outright no.
I am not so sure anymore.

How peculiar, to find an unknown detail from the lyrics of a song. A whole underground kingdom was I did not even see referenced in other texts. Maybe there is not only sand in the Wastes but in my eyes as well.

A meeting under scholars can go every which way and all ways at the same time.

Here I am, imagining that each clue is a ball of yarn,
and the scholars the kindle of kittens let loose at them.

In no time, everything is unraveled but in a way that you are now faced with a giant chaotic weave of strings instead that are equally hard to make out.

Now, which one was mine?

Not getting hit not only hurts less, but it increases the chance for survival.
If i count my recent bruises and make a chart, it shows that the number of hits is slowly declining. I still feel very tender after each bout and I do not think I will ever become a front line fighter, nor do I have the desire to become one.

At the very least my footmen will be able to stop worrying about me and concentrate on their job to take down the opponent

I had a perfect day.

The weather was nice, the location was great, the company perfect.

I will treasure this moment.

Relationship Note on Caspian

A grazing lute, how sweet the blow
That bong'd a wretch like me.
I once was up but now I'm down.
A grazing lute killed me.

That lute has slain ten thousand foes
All sweating in the sun.
I'd no more grace to duck that lute
I was ten thousand one.

Relationship Note on Celine

We fought together today. Good, it was a sparring match and we ..kind of won.. kind of lost it. But when I saw her go down the first time, time suddenly slowed down. I called out to her and when she did not react, I found an inner calm. Maybe it was fear that she got hurt, but it was the one time I was able connect a lunge with ample force.
The only time in the match.

It felt good.

Relationship Note on Celine

We fought together today. Good, it was a sparring match and we ..kind of won.. kind of lost it. But when I saw her go down the first time, I lost it. I called out to her and when she did not react, I do not know what surged through me that moment. Maybe fear that she got hurt, but suddenly time stood still and I could focus everything into one, single heavy lunge that connected.
The only one in the match.

It felt good.

I am slowly settling in and even though there is still so much to do, I am determined to make this work.
There are some out there, that I do not wish to disappoint.

Dear random reader,
maybe you are one of these people. And depending at what age you are reading this, it is my hope that there will be no later record to be found of me where I was forced to eat my words.

I steeled myself for what happened if I asked for advice in a topic away from my usual waters. As expected, i had to trust the pilot to know where to go. But with a second guide the course gets complicated and I found myself rolling like an unsecured piece of cargo between the two sides. Things eventually cleared up, and pilot and co-pilot were in agreement and we made good progress. The journey has just begun, I hope I will not get seasick.

An Assembly of peers, the first one I was able to attend in some time, and I must say, it went by without shouting or challenges thrown. Mostly a needed congregation to show face and be seen.
Unfortunately there was some dissent on the benches, more so it came from close by.
