An interesting thought. I would be doing my family a grave disservice to choose anything other than duty, but scurvy is quite unpleasant.

A conversation I had tonight made me wonder about how grief so differently affects us all. We all experience grief almost daily. A family member, a friend, someone we once knew, someone from a family we connect with. It's inevitable. There is the common coping mechanisms; crying, screaming, drinking or throwing ourselves into work. We cycle through thoughts of how we can help or what we could have done to prevent death or even about our own mortality. But, at some point I believe the constant exposure makes us numb.
My mother died when I was a child and my step mother lept from a cliff years later. I have held the hand of a marquis as he died and felt the pinch from the deaths of many in the isles and my family but lately when someone mentioned the constant burn of grief I found myself waiting for that same feeling. The deep ache, the pain that goes on and on but nothing.
So I pen this wondering if the lack of feeling either deconditioning to death or a concern on my own emotional health.

The Harvest is a cluster of stars that is visible all year long in Arx. In Clearlake, it only appears in the spring, and is a sign that the yearly harvest is nearly ready. It is strange, but I realized that we have thirteen constellations in Clearlake. That is unlikely to be a coincidence.

The recent Gauntlet event hosted by Princess Terese and my brilliant cousin, Duchess Isabeau, has inspired me to set aside some of my current studies in favor of martial training. I expect this to go as precisely as I imagine it will go.... a long, hard, arduous journey.

The archery tournament held by Ambassador Bahiya at the Golden Heart was quite the spectacle! I am not sure that I knew just how dangerous using a bow could be - for the archer! - until I warched the competitors. I have a renewed respect for the skill that many across the Compact have developed with the weapon.

Spring is happening around Wyvernheart. The plants are sprouting, the growth is everywhere. Newness. I love summer, but there is something about the freshness about spring. The new. I'm enjoying it.

I dont remember if I wrote about this before. However, I am a little excited. I get to help a friend hunt far and wide for the materials to make a weapon for him. Sure, we could easily just go to the market to find the components, but this will be an adventure! I not only look forward to being a part of this fun adventure, but, I also look forward to meshing the materials together to create the weapon.

It's been too quiet lately. Calm. It's like I'm waiting for so something to happen. I was always raised to be prepared for anything. Maybe that's this feeling.

I can't begin to tell you what I've been up to. I got to help with more Sundraw...Research? Would one call it research. I just know I've never been so proud of something. Hard work pays off. In so many ways.

I recently attended a sermon by Giada, talking about reflection and discovering our true self. I had been struggling for years trying to figure this out. Doubt and confusion reigned supreme in my mind. I guess I had thought that my 'self' was something you can put a label on. No. Its not one thing. It is an accumulation of many things. It is my blood lines. It is my life experiences. It is my fear. It is my hope. It is both my sins and my victories. I am me. I am Raja. I am many titles all rolled i to one. I now embrace it.

I went for a walk toward the dock last week. I've missed the smell of the salty air, the SOUND of the waves. Spring does have its high points.

Todays archery contest was a pleasant surprise. I expected to do fine but somehow came away with draw for first with Daria Mandragora.
Only time will tell if the next wave of contestants will beat our score. I hope not. I've always had a soft spot for Jade.
