Doing some more work today on that awakening essay; I think it's turning out much better than I ever expected, I'm actually learning a good deal in the process of writing this. On many levels. Things tying in that I would not have even remotely expected when I began this. I might not end up putting all of my realizations into the article itself, but I have a feeling just attempting to write this is going to have repercussions for my path in the months and years to come. My understandings are refining a good bit, and the web of mental connections forming from this is rather impressive in some of its implications.
Edit: Any people who identify as elves (Preferably Eldari, Listari, or other non-Elenari space elves) around this afternoon and in the mood to talk? I think I need to chat.
