A quote I have always loved from Mercedes Lackey's Tayledras (part of her Valdemar books) is "Zhai'helleva, ashke" - or, "Wind to thy wings, beloved". Never before have I known anyone it felt right to say it to. Even if I did feel compelled to modify it a little.


A random thing I noticed a bit ago (last Sunday, I believe), and was reminded of tonight. Of all the five physical senses, taste is the only one from which I have never had an overwhelmingly pleasant experience. I like some foods, yes, but I generally eat to not be hungry. This confuses people.


OK, I'm seriously babbling and tired, and need to get up to go to Rhode Island tomorrow to visit family members. So, I sleep.

And I have hope.

Rumi... Hmm. Is that enough information to locate something, or do I need more to go by?

I've wanted to be a kestra'chern

This does not surprise me, somehow. :)

taste [...] what sorts of things do you find the most interesting?

Crunchy things please me. Fruit pleases me. I don't tend to like squishy much, which cuts out most sushi (but I do like some cooked sushi). I adore mint. Mmm... More probably, but the fact that taste _isn't_ a strong interest of mine makes this difficult. And is probably why, up till the last few years, I was even worse at telling people what kinds of foods I liked, or suggesting food types.

It just so happens that I know places to try all of these things around here. Sounds like a plan of action when you make it out here.

Indeed!

BTW, if you can find an exquisite sushi place, you might try there.

I don't think I know of any...

If you search on Rumi, you should find much. An article that has some stuff in it would be Sufi Mysticism of the Indus Valley (http://www.apnaorg.com/articles/sufi.html) although I should be getting a reference to something better later today.

The food things give me ideas...
