Belief and Faith....
Fair day, all.
'Tis a lovely day, this, the first of April. Some will view it as just another day on the calendar, others will no' even give it a thought, while others, yet, will consider it a new beginning; an opportunity to start over. In the past I have advanced the thought of beginning again, never giving up on one's self or one's beliefs and holding tight to one's faith.
Faith in one's God and belief in self is, after all, the only two things some folks feel they have left to them. Why they feel that way is born of various reasons but the fact they feel so is either the catalyst that sends one to one's knees in prayer, or the straw that sends them to their knees beneath the weight they can no longer carry.
These past several months have taken their toll on those along the Gulf Coast regions. While hurricanes Katrina and Rita are distant memories for the majority of those no' caught in the paths of destruction, 'tis still fresh in the minds of those affected in various ways. I have received many e-mails to the effect of "Why can't people just let it go and get on with life?" Why indeed. Mayhap you all will think about the following points:
1) There are numerous (no' a few, or some here and there) families and/or individuals without homes to return to.
2) There are numerous families/individuals living in the shambles of their damaged homes.
3) There are many families/individuals yet displaced to far corners with no hope of returning to their homes dues to various circumstances.
4) The changes in the environment wrought by the storms. It may surprise you that folks, particularly the elderly, are affected by the vastly changed 'look' of their surroundings.
5) Some are still waiting for repairs to be done to property that continues to deteriorate whil Insurance companies play fast and loose with funds and set such stingent rules as to how to obtain funds that many contractors will no' even deal with some of them which leaves the insured in limbo.
I could go on and on but I do hope you get the point. Let it go? Move on with life? The majority of folks would love to be able to that but 'tis difficult when the damage remains in one's face whether waking or sleeping. So for those who fail to get the big picture and have no compassion remember this: 'tis often disaster which is visited upon he/she who has no compassion or kindness. And to those particular folks, here is a tiny tid-bit to chew on. Guess where a great deal of kindness and compassion and aid came from when the first hurricane, Katrina, hit? Why, from the neighboring states that were later hit by the the second hurricane. Aye, folks down our way do no' have to think about helping their own; to Southern folks 'tis just our way of life.
While you ponder the above, Kaithlin will post answers to some of our e-mail more deserving of answers than those of you who wasted time and effort to air your grievences about 'hearing' more about the above disasters. Dream Teller.
To Minute-man in Texas: 'Tis a stretch of the imagination to believe that you have been singled out for such a ridiculous notion as you have presented me. To assume such self-importance is no' only ludicrous but borders on the edge of stupidity. If there is such a Coven (which I have yet to be able to verify) 'tis no' known to you. Mayhap you would be best served by sticking with the known, and leaving the unknown alone. Fishing for information may catch you a shark you can no' even begin to reel in.
To Vee-Jee in S. Carolina: Take it for its worth and do no' attach more importance to it. 'Twas no more than an offer of help; a service, if you will, to steer you away from what could certainly pose a danger to you. 'Tis yours to believe or no' and yours to accept or toss aside. Blessed May You Be.
To Grant in Mississippi: Aye, and judging by the information you offered, your thoughts and feelings are justified. What you must remember is you have choices and you must make them. Do no' allow your baser feelings to over-ride your common sense. 'Tis a fine line between the two; the dark and the light, and you would do well to understand that embarking upon certain paths leaves one with no route of return or escape. Blessed May You Be.
To Forest-Nymph in Alabama: Pray tell. Your Kind are out and about, as they have been for time, untold. Follow your awakening instincts, look far and away to the West, and there will you find whom and what you seek. Your troop will welcome you with open arms for they have long sought others of your Kind; those born in this world with no knowledge of their true origins. Do no' blame your mother for her silence, for many as she were forced to lead lives away from their own for fear of punishment. 'Tis no' offensive that your father was Human-Kind, for he was meant to be protector for you and your mother until such time as you could stand alone. My sincere condolences for your recent loss. Know that in time you will learn that all has happened as 'twas neccessary in order for you to find your rightful place. Safe journey and Blessed May You Be.
To Beatrice in New Jersey: From here to there and everywhere just about sums it up. Time is of no real importance in the scheme of things; particularly, to one such as our resident Vampyre, Garth. As he has stated in the past, there are certain places dear to his heart, but none he can no' walk away from should the need arise. Many times in the distant past he was forced to leave cherished places and belongings behind. But as Garth will tell you: " The surival instinct is strong and only those who grow weary of their long existence will hang onto what they so cherish until 'tis too late." Blessed May You Be.
To Geran in Louisiana: Runes are a most powerful divinatory tool when in the hands of one with the knowledge of their origins and meanings. There are twenty-four; each marked with a glyph. Alone or combined, their meanings and energies provide insight into past, present, and future to give an understanding of the situations one seeks to understand. There are many ways to read the runes there are particularly powerful spreads required for deeper, more intense understanding. Aye, and Outsiders can and do learn to read Runes but 'tis a gift that requires much study. Certainly, there are many books on the market one can obtain and study. But 'tis to those with the ancient knowledge, passed down through the ages, whom are empowered with the true gift of devination. Blessed May You Be.
Blessings Upon All, Dream Teller.
