Zen Hugs - the hugs that you would get, if we were there, if we could hug you, but we aren't, and we can't.

We're none of us quite so sure of our place in the world that we can't be rocked off our feet by bad times. It's the getting back up again that counts. Not that you fall, but getting back up again counts for more in the long run.

Honor was never taking the easy way when it was also the wrong one. Never telling a falsehood unless the truth was painful and unnecessary, or a lie was necessary to save others. Never manipulating the truth to serve only yourself. Protecting the weak and helpless; standing fast even when fear made you weak. Keeping your word.

I try to use all of my senses when describing a setting, and try to think of everything that would impact a character in any given scene.

Adventure, yeah. I guess that's what you call it when everybody comes back alive.

Magic, like technology, is a tool.

Inexperience can be overcome, ignorance can be enlightened, but prejudice will destroy you.
