About Garth
Greetings All.
Yet again, we were unable to access our blog on the 4th and 5th; the reason this post for yesterday is appearing late. We are working on our personal web site, so hang with us.
A number of you were touched in various ways by Garth's post last morning, as noted by your e-mails. The question running two to one is if he truly exists. My answer to that is, as always, take what you will, for the choice is yours to believe or not. You know where I stand so it is that I offer you a bit more information about him.
Garth is a man who happens to be Vampyre, not as some would have you believe, a loathsome creature. He looks like a man, carries himself as such, and no he doesn't turn into a hideous caricature of a man at any time. Physically, he is tall at six and a half feet; broad of shoulder and chest; long of leg; lean and muscular. He is considered most handsome with his white-blonde hair, sensual mouth with its ready smile, and silvery blue eyes that appear to see deep into one's secret self. While he walks with a bit of a western swagger it is obvious that royal blood runs in his veins. One only has to see him in formal dress at a formal function to figure that out, but it is most obvious when in the company of those who consider themselves royalty. The nice thing about Garth is that he considers all, regardless of social class, his equal and makes no bones about putting snobs in their place.
Why am I telling you these things? To take the mystery out of the equation. What you will not see when you look at him are ordinary things such as physical imperfections, for the Vampyre possesses an extraordinary ability to heal from scars and wounds. He looks to be about the age of thirty-five, a man in his prime, and as he does not physically age, you might imagine the problems attached to that; one of the reasons Vampyres of his Kind either move around a great deal, or keep out of the public eye. They go to great lengths to pass themselves off as their own kin if they choose to remain in one place over long.
With the latter in mind you can see how easily they might be caught out were it not for their ability to adapt to their surroundings, be quick of mind when questions arise, as they often do. The fact that he is extremely wealthy gives him the ability to maintain homes in different locations to aid in covering his tracks, so to speak. Sound like an enjoyable life? Garth will be the first to disabuse you of that notion. Like the rest of us, he and others of his Kind yearn to put down roots and remain in one place. Garth manages that well enough, but only because he moves around, vacations if you will, when necessity demands. His homes are maintained by mortals whom he carefully chooses; special individuals loyal to him.
He and others of his Kind assist one another by offering their homes to one another for periods of time so that it appears someone, visitors and/or relatives, are in residence. But each of them must find their own resting place, for very few share the secret locations that could lead to their being discovered when they are most vulnerable. Makes sense. You can see that the trust factor only extends so far and what a shame they are forced into that position.
Through the ages many of their brethren have fallen for placing too much trust in one another, or in the others who assist them. Secrets are bought, sold, or bartered for, regardless of the Kind; a fact, particularly when one's life is at stake. You get the gist.
Mayhap, as you lie in your warm, safe bed, you will give a thought to the degree of difficulty involved in the Vampyre's struggle to survive. Mayhap more of you will join with us to make safer the world for all who want no more than to live and let live, rather than just for a select few. And mayhap, if you are blessed, you will have the opportunity to meet such a man as Garth and discover what a unique, caring individual he is. Ponder.
