Friendship

The fine art of friendship. 

Needing of love

Understanding

From 'the fine art of friendship' by King's X

On this month of Love, I think of the love of friendship.

I love my friends, probably more than they know. Most of them don't like each other, I have to hang out with them separately. With the pressures of adulthood, I hardly see any of them at all. But the ones who seem emotionally resiliant enough to realize we all have things in our life that prevent us from hanging out like we use to, are the ones that I'm still friends with. 

I never stopped loving anyone. But I'm too old to go chasing anyone. 

I give understanding, I need understanding too. And so do you. And we all need love.

Swan Knight

I was doing some pleasure research this morning, which usually involves swans, or religion, or philosophy, or whatever and discovered a story that I am really rather surprised that I had not heard of prior to this day. The story (and of course there are several different variation to the tale) involves a character known as the Swan Knight. He was pledge to secrecy of his origins in order to do good and not be a glory seeker, as those in a position of power have a tendency of doing.

What a beautiful start to the new year. Especially now as I transition in my life, from a time of preparing to a time of action. It is my aim to act with intention to make the world a better place. With this story in mind I can do so with confidence that this mission is shared with others, and to not be distracted by temptations of the ego.

The swan in European traditions, is the symbol of mythopoesis (Myth making). So yes, I am a storyteller who has an affinity for swans. I am Swan the Myth-maker. Too egotistic? Ok, well, I'm working on it.

This is the sitting room of royalty whom was known as The Swan King, he had an affinity for the legend of the Swan Knight. The mural on the wall is from the story.
