Embracer of Fate
By Hildingr Michael Sessumes
I'm pondering on our last lore study this morning.
A lot of our truest heroes have seen much suffering...
We are not unique, removed by time but not by blood. It seems almost the ones our Gods favor they are also the hardest on. I ponder this and lean into this embrace. As the world is as hard as it is, it leads me to think worlds beyond must be equally along those lines. Born of their essence we are to be molded possibly... not coddled.
One can hardly internalize what is constant suffering, whether in sickness or mind, to have the need daily for the first battle of one's day to be mustering not only the will to continue but manifesting the might of conquest and applying that over one's sorrows and pain. A daily victory before the sun even rises… such a man I know too well. It's easy to be bold, safe, and brave when well, for true character I believe is forever forged in the torment and trials of the true adventurer and embracer of fate. In understanding oneself and true place within our world it is apparent, at least to me, that human existence on the individual level independent from one another is both insignificant and important beyond measure. Simultaneously and collectively, our acts ripple and pool resulting in creating entire waves of change, imprinted in this realm on the lives of man and the landscape itself. This vibration is endless and we call this being alive!
In a time of such worry and when the lands fill with woe, I remind myself of my ancestors' beliefs. What has always been and what will be has already been long before carved into the sacred roots of the world tree. Let us find true peace in this...... Let us smile true in the face of hardship and remember we control how we walk and approach all things so let us not fight so hard against the fates as these ancient threads do not bind us so much as free us. From my perspective, the entirety of a human's life on Midgard seems to be but a single breath of a God.
Let us be wise in this realm and free ourselves from the trappings of the mundane.
Seek Glory and Honor kinsman for the Gods see us in all our victories and struggles. Smile!!!!! Let's give them a show as they might know those they have created ride fearless and true on the path set forth always!
