020: Starlight and Moonlight

[livingmyths]

I'm sparkling like starlight and moonlight combined! I probably shouldn't admit just how much time I spent dancing around in one of the underground rooms in the Library with all the lights off, just so I can see how it looked!


Tony? Today, yes, I am beautiful and special!


I wish Iron man could see me!

I've always felt like an Outsider myself, so I guess maybe I can imagine someone like that caring about me

But I don't know if I can love myself... it seems... not right.

The Outsider is a very special god. I wish I could tell you everything about him-- I wish I could tell everyone-- but I don't want to bore you, or force my beliefs upon you. He does care, though, deeply; that I can say, with all the certainty of which I am capable.

Inordinate self-love is wrong, if you love yourself to the exclusion of all else... But neither should you devalue yourself. Every life is a gift; we must be thankful for our own lives, and the lives of others.

I... I would like to learn more about him. A God who loves everyone... rather than just punishes all the bad ones like me.


I'll try to remember that.

Even when the gods punish us-- at least, this is what we are taught in the schola-- it is out of love, in the hopes that, like children, we will learn.

If you would like to, we can meet some day and I will tell you all I can about him. He has been on my mind, greatly; to the extent that I often fear I am going to bore those around me, speaking incessantly of him. [soft laugh]

Oh, oh yes! I would love to meet you! And listen. I love to listen to stories of Gods and myths and the ancestors! And I promise I won't get bored.

That could be a rash promise; there are sixty-three gods mentioned in the Writings, you know. [A happy laugh]

I should like to hear some stories of your whorl as well-- your Ancestors, in particular, sound fascinating.

[ooc: we can log sometime if you're game? :D i am free, albeit slow, pretty much any day.]

OH, I don't mind at all, I promise! And the elders... they always said I was a good listener. That I had ears that heard and that I remembered.

Well, I'm no elder or storyteller, but I can tell you some of the things I know if you want.

[ooc: Yes! That would be lovely. And I'm the same, around but slow during work.]

[Voice]

[silk_for_calde]

That sounds wonderful, Rain. Would tomorrow be convenient for you? We could meet for lunch, perhaps?

[ooc: awesomesauce, i'll throw up a log for us in the morning-ish then? :D]

Re: [Voice]

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes, please! I would like that very much!

[ooc: Sounds good to me!
