Medieval Monday Week 8

11/9/2020

Welcome to Medieval Monday, Week 8, and another round of bite-sized excerpts. Check out the Medieval Romance Lovers FB page and allow yourself to be drawn into a delectable, medieval romance! We can also be found on Twitter, #MedMonFall20.

In this snippet from Tremors, my time-travel romance, Deidre and Lachlann are parked on the side of the road, in the middle of a pine forest. He is hedging, wondering where he stands with her and if he dare tell her the truth about himself.

She stared at him a moment longer. Everything about him spoke of honor, of goodness. He wasn’t a criminal.

She shook her head. “You haven’t.” (done something wrong)

He tilted his head slightly, watching her carefully. “You’re sure about that?”

“As sure as I can be. I trust you.”

He drew a deep breath. “I trust you, too.”

She laid a hand on his arm. “Lachlann, if you’ve made a mistake, I’ll help you. We’ll fix it together. If necessary, we’ll fight together.”

“You’d fight for me?”

“Of course.”

A Little of This, a Little of That

Keep me away from the wisdom that does not cry, the philosophy that does not laugh, and the greatness which does not bow before children. – Gibran Khalil Gibran

There is much that is tragic about our world. There is also much that is beautiful. To be sure, a lot of the beauty extends to beyond this world. That beauty, that joy, comes from an all-encompassing, divine love.

This blog is meant to share that joy -- poetry, religion, the natural world, art, books, music, travel, history, and other lovely, beautiful topics. I find I have no wish to focus on the sad. I do realize, by the way, that a lot of history is sad. But we hardly need for me to highlight that.

One more thing/disclaimer: Religion, you might ask? I am a religious person, so much so that I fervently believe everyone should have the right to their own -- provided, of course, that it doesn't hurt others.

It is all about love and sharing.

Out beyond ideas of wrong and right, there is a field. I'll meet you there. -- Rumi
