The clouds above the mountains rolling through olympic national park look like an explosion. My mind is trying to convince me that it is—that I am a shore away from a cataclysm and perhaps the cataclysm promised in early Shadowrun. Yet we are still in this 5th world with all of its maladies and my home country is going downhill quickly.
We are not at the point of civil war or martial law, but we are being led by an old man who is so full of himself that he is unwilling to accept that other people are responsible for the governing of the country. Moreover, he is unwilling to admit when (which is often) he is wrong. This is a problem—all of our problem, in fact, but not one I can presently deal with. I’m more focused on the fact that I got married yesterday and today I am watching the waves creep towards my toes as the tide moves up the beach and towards my happy place.
Today was a beautiful day. Every day here is such a day, and I am going to treasure this and treasure the last remaining moments of this honeymoon before the world calls out to me and demands I do the work.
Some Thoughts:
1. Very few times on this trip have I been stressed completely out. The majority of them have involved my mother.
2. Happy to end the day on the shore. It’s my second trip to the beach today.
3. Lady Love is the wife now. Lady Talis forever….
4.
