tonight is a night of great grief. Not only for me but for the kingdom of calontir and the world as a whole. My knight, syr ternon de caerleon has passed into story and song. His infirmities of recent years are shed and he passes ahead to clear the way of the bad things and bring music to the ear and heart. he was my mentor for 2 decades and my friend and ally in the everyday world. riding bikes, fighting, rejoicing and in hardship we rode the path together. he is gone ahead. watt for me father, for that way one day will i too wend. and save a mead and a pretty girl for me. and we will talk again of fights, and share our arts of song and picture, swords and thought. goodbye

well its off to gulf wars her in a few. the old war horse putting on the traces and charging off to slay the foe just one more time. and then of course there will be just one more, and another til I'm too old to leave the paddock. Hopefully theres a rubdown in my future , and something made with oats. and scotch. and honey

anticipation

In a few days I will be heading to see my lovely lady and the anticipation is both exhilarating and painful. The joy at knowing soon we won't have to deal with the filter of miles between and merely our minds interacting is balanced by the fact that I am not there yet! Soon, but not yet , is an evil phrase, filled with unfulfilled promise. I imagine that the fulfillment is going to exceed the anticipation in ways we cant yet grasp. The first glance, followed by the first touch, and then the full gamut of our meshing and bonding, fighting and surrendering,holding and being held.
Soon, but not yet.

first post ever, so bear with me

I have never really tried articulating my thoughts and feelings in prose before but being open to new things I am going to try.I just want to try to describe how much has changed since I met a wonderful lady with whom I have a connection unlike anything I have experienced before in a long and varied life. yes that was an opening to snark at my grey hairs.I think that I have always held back a part of myself for fear of my strength overwhelming the one I am with. To find someone who embraces me for who I am and seems to instinctivley know what I feel and think is a new and exciting prospect. Unlocking the closed doors in my soul and sharing those things that have been locked away with someone who will cherish them is an experience I have long yearned for in life.
trusting and being trusted. inconceivably comfortable with someone in a way that most people look a lifetime and dont find. well, i think that that is enough prose for a first sitting. now i must go mull though my wants and needs and try to delineate them to myself, wich is always the hardest of all things to do
