Borderlands



"If you should travel in the north country fair
where the wind hits heavy on the borderlands....."

As we move to accepting the definition of our world in economic terms, we give up a great deal of magic. When the Fenris wolf was entrapped the spell could have easily been made from double entry accounting and the necessity for health care insurrance. Don't leave home without it.

Those that are more sensitive to the reality of the natural world sometimes cannot stand....cannot even maintain functionality in the modern world. They bail. they run. they flee to the boarderlands.

Do not cross over into madness. Few go. Fewer return. More and more camp in the boarderlands. Retreat / return. Retreat... set up hermitage.

And .... Runes .......

Another Day. August 7th to be exact. exact in a calander definition way. What day is it really? In the borderlands one day is much like the next or the last. After a while it is important that they don't have names any more. That's why you move to the borderlands. horses don't know Sunday from Tuesday. Could care less. Why should we? Do we gain or do we lose. Conventional wisdom says we gain, but consider the other possibility. What do we loose? or, more exactly... is some of what we lose as real as a dollar? You betchamyass.

If you found the camp in the middle of the sacred hills, out in the borderlands, what would you do? Epona? Did you know that Pegasus was born from the blood of Medusa's severed heads? So......

The long and the short of it is this advice; If you're going to the borderlands, take a horse.

Thank you. thank you very much.
