Greetings,

I hope that this posting finds everyone well and in good spirits. It is
very rare that I take up pen and paper and sit to post something on the
boards, but reading lately of the new laws in Shallam and the postings
going back and forth has inspired one of my postings.

I find it ironic how Shallamese Officials and Citizens say that everyone
can say what they wish it doesn't make any difference to them. Yet, for
every posting that's penned there is a responce to it. If it doesn't
matter to you why the responce? Do you feel you must justify your point?
If nothing else I found it humerous. Then again, I always did have a
different sense of humor. Though the reason for my posting wasn't to
bash anyone from Shallam. As many know, most of my early life was spent
within her walls. I once walked in the light as a monk of the Sentaari
though I have long left that path in favor of another.

As the day ends in the darkness of light, so also does mans life end in
the darkness of death. Ours is not to fear the darkness but to enjoy the
sunset of our lives. Only by doing this do we truely win at lifes game.

The question most have to answer on a daily basis is weather they will
cower in the darkness or revel in her glory. As for me, I am the
darkness come. I revel in her glory, though a little light never hurt
anyone. If it were not for the light then the blessed darkness would not
exist. Likewise if not for the darkness then the light wouldn't exist.

About now, you are wondering ok what is this post really about. Exactly
what the subject led you to believe. Thoughs, Misconceptions and
Ramblings. Just things I felt I wanted to share with the general
populous.

So, having said what I wanted for now, I'll end this posting. I wish all
the best and again hope that this posting finds everyone in good spirits
and doing well.
