Hiraeth(Hee-rieth)

I have been learning Welsh over the last 200 days, using the app DuoLingo. It’s a Celtic language, and is much harder than it might look.

There is a race called the Vorlon. An ancient, secretive race. They had an ambassador on the Space Station Babylon 5 named Kosh. InContinue reading “Who Are You?”

Meditations, Part 4

From my brother, I learned that there is true evil in the world, and that there are stout warriors who oppose it. He taught me that such bravery comes with a cost, and that true bravery is not in facing danger, but in doing what needs to be done, knowing the cost, but doing itContinue reading “Meditations, Part 4”
