Especially fascinating, as stray entries in these very Whites seem to indicate I am not alone in this.

In the future, I endeavor to at least don my clothing before storming about.
The stares. The pointing. Kindly purge them from my memory.

That event, looked after by Sister Dianna, urged self reflection. And no, I did not participate - I still undertake my consideration of Tehom in private, as is the style I was brought up with - but what I saw was an outpouring of worship for the Gods from the Faithful. Was it the style I prefer? No. But does that invalidate it? No. Because the lines of acceptability are so clearly set by the Faith, we know that all within that is then discussion between friends, between brothers and sisters. And we know that in discussing the truths each of us hold, we might find a purer and more complete truth.
Lycene Liberalism preaches for us to take risks in pursuit of that which we don't yet have. Oathlands Orthodoxy preaches caution and tradition, guardianship of what we have. Grayson Pragmatism urges a middle path, acceptance of realities to allow the Faith to achieve the most good. There are exceptions in situations to these truths. And all three do not hold equal balance in the Faith - perhaps you would expect to hear this from one of the Orthodoxy, which is the largest of the three, but I think the current balance works. Our focus must always be on protecting what we have, those for whom we have an obligation. To do this we need to deal to be able to work with people in real terms, to be pragmatic. And we must, at times, be pushed from our comfort to strive for what we may not yet have, but which can allow us to protect our people better.
The Orthodoxy holds the core of our mission, the foundation of our Faith. I remain devoted to the path it lays out. It remains the style of worship that brings me joy as well as comfort and inspiration. But that does not mean I do not value the input and worship of my brothers and sisters of other paths. Still. To upset the existing balance between the paths would, I believe, be a mistake whatever happens with Great Houses or other Kingdoms.

But this Butcher?
I could seriously learn to hate this guy. He is so irritating! I mean, just go away already!
... In the meantime, I'm meeting some interesting people who are of like-minds.
... I dunno. Might be too much trouble to think more of him than I would a roach that needs squishing.

There must have been a crow outside my window to inspire such thoughts.
Seven and twenty blackbirds,
All set down to die.
Didn't I hear something about dead crows not long ago?

Relationship Note on Rey
This week I met with Lady Rey Laveer. In her I see so much of myself. Her desire to help her family, the need to create art to provide hope and inspiration.
So I am very pleased to write that Lady Rey has accepted my offer of Patronage. I am eagerly looking forward to see what she does for herself and Laveer.

On day seven, pour boiling water over rose petals layered stop cheesecloth, straining into a copper container.
Tie off cheesecloth to form a rose petals sachet and leave to steep in water 18-24 hours before removal.

Of course, it's very odd when they seem to be related to a place I've never been. But there are people there, in my dream, who are familiar. I wonder if perhaps I should stop eating ginger cake before bed.

Things will not get better, if I hide.
All the things that are going so very right did not erase the thing that's a disaster.
Jules is undoubtedly correct, as he often is about these things. I'd best make the first move, to heal my broken heart, because it will not be coming, otherwise.
What use is pride, if you're miserable?
I may not have kicked the fences down, but they still need to be mended. And so I will try to at least start.
