Anhkah Beloved Consort of Angels's blog: "Reflections"

It's a great day to exercise skepticism. Maybe that job offer is too good to be true, or maybe that one friend has more going on than they're showing. Whatever it is, you'll soon see what to do about it.

"Spirit. It cannot be broken and it cannot be stolen away. A victim in the throes of despair might feel otherwise, and certainly the victim's "master" would like to believe it so. But in truth, the spirit remains, sometimes buried but never fully removed."...

The physical powers of the body cannot be separated from the rationale of the mind and the emotions of the heart. They are one and the same, a compilation of a singular being. It is in the harmony of these three--body, mind, and heart--that we find spirit.

Ultimately and inevitably, they fail. This I must believe. If the flame of the spirit's candle is extinguished, there is only death, and the tyrant finds no gain in a kingdom littered with corpses.

It is a resilient thing, this flame of spirit, indomitable and ever-striving. In some, at least, it will survive, to the tyrant's demise."...

Spirit. In every language in all the Realms, surface and Underdark, in every time and every place, the word has a ring of strength and determination. It is the hero's strength, the mother's resilience, and the poor man's armor. It cannot be broken, and it cannot be taken away.

This I must believe."

Todays Horoscope:
Someone is getting awfully possessive of you. It was flattering -- at first. Now you're starting to feel less like a person and more like a territory. It might be time to set some boundaries in a kind, but clear manner.

How is it ever flattering? I don't need the stress.
