As a Mercy we are responsible for more than the physical health of our patients. We have a responsibility to administer mental and emotional healing, and support self transformation through meditation and reflection.
Yet... how can we help others when we are so weary ourselves that we haven't the time to sit and reflect and transform ourselves?
I found myself skating from one crisis to the next - no time to breathe between them, and no respite from the soul wrenching realities that surround us.
I found myself unable to care for others because I had stopped caring for myself.
I found myself no longer able to enjoy the small things in life that I drew joy from - a good cup of tea, a hug from a friend, the laughter of my niece.
After much solitary meditation, prayer and reflection I feel recharged and ready to take on the world again.
To change the world for the better we must start with ourselves. To change the world for the better we must recognize the better when we see it -the beauty of a drop of dew on a flower petal, the peals of laughter that we hear floating on the wind, the sweet tingle on your tongue with a good drip of honey.
To change the world we must not focus only on the crisis moments - we must focus on the joy in life too.
As I reenter society after my time away I find myself in a place of peace and tranquility, even as new and more dire crisis develop. The difference is, I can approach them from a place of rationality instead of a place of panic and fear. We will help those who need it. We are enough, and we can do this. The Mercies are up for the challenge. We've spent our lives preparing for whatever might be thrown at us, be it Eurus, hurricanes, heretics, or anything else. We are enough. The people of the Compact are enough.

Sometimes events happen that make you feel as though life will never be the same again.
Life will never be the same again. Some things change us. Sometimes the chaff is burned away and you're left with the raw substance. It is then that one must shape that into something new - something better.
The House of Solace will be a place of peace and succor again. We will all heal. We will say our goodbyes. Lagoma can help us with this transition - if we but let her.

As always... Our Lady of Change cannot abide for things to remain the same.
Just as I find myself settled into a normalcy something happens that rocks that to its very core. That is her nature, after all.
Even so - one must not lose focus of the things that are important to them, and they must hold tight to them even through the changes and shifting of the sand beneath their feet.
One must hold tight to their beliefs. Lagoma will see you through these transitions. Always, it is Lagoma I turn to for solace. It is Lagoma who cradles me in her bosom as life changes, yet again.

On the longest, darkest night it's hard to remember the first rays of the sun.
But morning always comes
On the cold, and most bitter of winters it's hard to remember the warmth of the sun on your face
But spring always comes
In the most unbearable cloying heat of summer it's hard to remember the nip of frost on the tip of your nose
But autumn always comes
Lagoma assures this. Change is always occurring. Tiny changes, like the sprouting of a flower and the breaking of a heart.. and large changes that sweep the land and throw everything into uncertainty. It is during these times that we can turn to Our Lady of Change. In prayer and meditation we find our way.

I have come to realized that self-imposed exile in my office and my quarters inside the House of Solace is not serving me or the Compact. Surely it has afforded me the time for my studies, but at what cost? The hours of quiet meditation at the Shrine of Lagoma have granted me a clarity that I haven't had in quite some time, but the city goes on around me, and it's time that I begin to be a part of it again.
I have been wandering the city again, visiting places I haven't gone in quite some time, seeing people I haven't seen, and meeting new faces that have just arrived in Arx.
I attended practices at the training grounds yesterday, and this morning I had the most rewarding conversation with Princess Reese and Lady Mabelle at the Ambassador Salon.
Our conversation got me thinking about the nature of heartbreak...
I am a Mercy. It's more than just my job - it's *who* I am. I can mend bones, and stitch wounds. I can apply poultices, prepare tinctures, and mix herbs in a tea to remedy most maladies. I can assist women in their ability to conceive, and I can prepare drafts so that they don't become with child unless they want to. There are so many things I can do, through science and learning, and countless hours of training with the Mercies at Blancbier. When it comes to medicine - I am a healer at my very core.
The heart though, remains a mystery to me. It rips and tears just as surely as flesh does, and the wounds of the heart are just as painful as the wounds of the body. As a healer we can try to mend hearts. We can offer a kind word, or an ear to listen, or a strong shoulder to lean upon, but the heart heals itself and in its own time.
Even as the bearer becomes convinced that the worst of the pain is over, and they start to forget - something occurs - the grasp of a familiarly calloused hand - or the taste of whiskey on a pair of lips - and once again the heart says to heartbreak "Hello, old friend. I almost forgot you - but you have returned."
We, the Arvani, as a people have conquered immeasurable threats - and we will undoubtedly conquer more in the coming days. We can and will stare at the face of certain death and raise our weapons and rush into battle to become victorious.
But to the the wounds of the heart even the strongest knight may fall to their knees... defeated.. broken.. until their old friend leaves again - and the heart begins to heal anew.
To those who feel as if the pain will never end -
It will end
You will love again some day.
Let the heart heal in its own time - for the only way to get over heartache is to walk through the flames of pain and come out whole on the other side.
In the meantime - the Mercies are here for you. Even if your wounds are not visible. We can provide an ear, a shoulder, or a hot cup of tea and a sticky bun. They may not help, but we can ask Lagoma's guidance through the transition and pray that through her fire you will be renewed.

"Fire is renewal, for in the embers of a purifying fire can new life be uncovered and nurtured. Tend it well."
Have you ever seen the aftermath of Lagoma's fire that saw the destruction of great swaths of forest? The tears of the mourning fall upon the scorched ground, washed away by Mangata's healing rains. Suddenly a sprig of green shoots from the charred ashes, like a tiny beacon of hope. Slowly the life returns to the earth and the flow of tears ebb. Petrichor returns life to the forest, with new growth.
Animals return, and plants flourish from the ashes of those that came before them - stronger than before. The scars of the flame will always remain - a testament to the beauty of something that was, but is no longer - but from the ashes will rise something greater than it ever knew it could be.
Destruction unchecked is good for none, but there are times when destruction is what Lagoma must have. Burn beautifully. Burn honorably. Burn with Limerance's passion. Burn down the world, if that's what it takes to remake this into a better place. (Figuratively speaking, of course. Please don't start any actual fires.)

I'm the first to tell others that Lagoma will help you through transitions if you only turn to her for guidance. Now it's time to take my own advice.
A passage keeps coming to me from the Strictures of Fire. It's not specifically related to Lagoma, but it rings true for me right now.
"Fire is sustenance, for it can chase away the cold and bring to all living beings a succor in the darkest times."
Heartbreak will heal. I will turn to Lagoma, and I will trust that the advice I give to others will ring true for me as well. She will guide me through this change until the tears stop, and one day I will look back with fond memories that aren't blurred by the veil of tears in my eyes.

You would think a week of relaxation away from the House of Solace and most responsibilities would have me refreshed, but no. It has me antsy and anxious to get back to work. I fear I'll return with a list of things I want to accomplish. Interesting how down time only succeeds in giving me more work to do in the long run.
Still - I'm exceedingly excited about the projects that are ahead of the Mercies! We will be the agents of change that Lagoma charges us to be!

Relationship Note on Victus
In the matter of the spider and the fly...
The fly may see the spider as evil, but the spider is doing only what it must to survive.
In the matter of the snake and the mouse...
The mouse may see the snake as evil, but the snake is only doing what it must to survive.
In the matter of the master and slave...
The slave will surely see the master as evil, but will the master see themselves as evil? Will they continue to perpetuate this unpleasant state of things even if they are no longer doing what is necessary to survive?
Or...
Will they seek to right this wrong and find other means of survival?
I am proud of those who embrace change and focus on solutions rather than stubbornly hanging upon 'tradition' at the expense of those they have been entrusted to care for.
Lagoma smiles upon Victus and those of the isles that embrace change with such bravery. Of this I am very certain.

I had a dream last night. In my dream there was a great shimmering golden dragon in the sky, and in his talons was a clock. The clock fell from the sky and crashed to the ground beneath him, shattering. The shards of glass spread to every corner of Arx.
Some of the population fell with a single strike of glass through the heart.
Some of the population ran and hid in the darkest of corners.
Some of the population ran into danger to save those who were only injured.
Some of the population turned to glass themselves, and walked around the streets - risking being shattered simply to be in the thick of things. Half survived, and half shattered themselves - a gamble of luck.
I stood in the window of the House of Solace looking out at them, and tears began to fall down my cheeks as I realized the world would be forever changed by this. The tears turned to glass, and sliced my feet as they dropped off my chin.
I can't imagine what lesson I'm to learn from this dream. They rarely mean anything, really - my dreams. Maybe it means - we can't cry for change. It comes. We can only be shaped by how we react to it. I awoke thinking of Prince Alecstazi Thrax. Peculiar indeed.
I really must stop drinking hot cocoa flavored with chili powder right before bed. It's so delicious, though!

I find myself so often cloistered in my office at the House of Solace in meetings. I really should go outside more often. You meet the most fascinating people when you simply give them a chance.
I've made a new friend recently and we bonded over obscure scraps of information and tea. I have a feeling there will be many more pots of tea, and many more scraps of paper exchanged before it is all said and done, and I feel smarter already, just for having met her.

I love the snowfall in Arx. It makes everything seem to serene and clean (when it's not green). Even so, I find myself rushing from one place to another, spending as little time as possible out of doors, that I might come in out of the cold sooner rather than later.
I think the lack of sunlight has put me into an odd sort of melancholy. There's no other explanation for it. My life, at least, as far as I'm concerned, has been going quite well lately. The Mercies are doing well. I'm strong in my Faith. I have no real complaints, save for a few that.. while aren't new, have come to the forefront recently.
I've been toying with the idea of an Atrium in the House of Solace for quite some time. A place where patients, Mercies, Knights of Solace, and even just other members of the community can come during inclement weather and still get to enjoy pure sunshine, and smell the earth as plants thrive all around them.
First things first, though. We'll need to organize some sort of fundraising. I'm terrible at parties, and not just throwing them, but even attending them. I suppose a party planner wouldn't hurt. It also wouldn't hurt for me to find a teacher who can better my skills in agriculture. After all, if I'm going to grow healing herbs in the atrium then I'll need to know how best to do so.
It's too late for this year, but maybe next year I won't experience this same sort of melancholy when winter sets in and maybe it will help others that are also afflicted with this seasonal discomfort.

Have you ever felt as if the entire world is busy telling you what you cannot do and you feel the hope start to drain away? You start to question yourself. You start to wonder if you're capable of less than you thought you were....
And then a few words with someone changes all of that. It fills you with hope anew that far surpasses anything you felt before.
Lagoma has a way of showing me to the people I need to keep hope alive, and today it was my cousin Reigna. What a remarkable woman. Together we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.

I find myself often staring at the pages of my journal and simply unable to think of a single word that won’t sound like it came from a simpleton. The truth is, that when writing I often reveal too much of myself and too little of anything resembling intelligent thought.
Today I can’t shake the sense of being humbled by the number of people who have expressed their joy at my recent ceremony to become sworn to the gods. It is as if they see me as having made some great sacrifice.
Perhaps I did, but I gained so much in return. There were many that have supported me on this path for years, and when I announced my intention there wasn’t a single person who knew me that was surprised. I think we all knew this was my future, and now that it’s here... I feel light as air. It’s as if the gods themselves are smiling upon me and that no matter the hardships we will face we will come out of it victorious.
Life is not meant to be lived tortured by the thought of what might happen. Of course we must prepare. We must educate ourselves. We must perfect the tools we will need to build a better future...but we should do it with joy.
It’s as if I’m seeing the sun for the first time as it truly is.
I wonder if a lizard feels the same when it sheds its own skin for a new, or a snake, or when a hermit crab in the isles sheds a shell for one that fits better.
Life is good. We will make it even better.

What a long road this has been for me! I've spent the last few months considering the gods - speaking to people - spending time in the shrines - and simply soul searching.
I've always known I might be godsworn one day. I always suspected it was my path, and when I stepped on that path it was with a certain amount of trepidation.
Now that I near the end it I realize this is but the beginning. My life has been devoted to Lagoma since I was so young.
It is time for the next step.. and time to devote myself to the gods.
I'm so anxious for it to be done already! I think perhaps I shall devote my time to some project until the ceremony.. anything to make the days go by faster.
My office needs rearranging. Maybe I'll do that...

Relationship Note on Bliss
Some people, when you meet them you find yourself engulfed by them and you want nothing more to be in their very presence.
And then... they make you look so deeply at yourself and your own soul that it helps you to become the person you were meant to be.
You may still want to drown in them, but you can't - because you realize that you have to take action to make the world a better place. You have purpose.
These people are truly invaluable.
