sojourn

You view the gods as entities without," Montolio tried to explain. "You see them as physical beings trying to control our actions for their own ends, and thus you, in your stubborn independance, reject them. The gods are within, I say, whether one has named his own or not. You have followed Mielikki all your life, Drizzt. You merely never had a name to put on your heart.

This thing I am feeling, I__ almost certain, is the closest I__l ever come to standing somewhere in between truth and reconciliation.

Most people don__ get their soul mates in their designated lifetime or if ever they do, they let them go. It doesn__ matter to me who you are, who you love, as long as they love you back. That is what__ important. The world seems to have forgotten that and have conducted themselves all based on the concept of love that is both selfish, misguided and outdated. And if the world saw what we see, things would be a whole lot better.

I alternate between thinking of the planet as home - dear and familiar stone hearth and garden - and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners.
