Sometimes you just need a day to relax and collect your thoughts. I forgot how much I loved the sea, although it is nothing like the sea back home. Here it is... so.. different.
I have been mulling over memories from home, lately. I have found of all the things I miss, I miss my family most but then I miss the Shadow Game. Back home Amber and Chaos are true worlds while the rest of the areas are what are called Shadows - reflections and distortions of Amber or Chaos. That's not to say they aren't real, they ARE, just - it's hard to describe. But back home we can influence the world around us. If I want to have the flowers grow neon orange, I focus on it and change it.
The Shadow game is a kind of game we played growing up, once we'd walked the Pattern and learned to control the stuff of Shadows. You would pass some obstruction — a scrawny tree, a stand of stone — and have the sky be different from one side to the other. It was a game of control and talent and I miss it dearly. I cannot influence the stuff of this world - perhaps because my connection to the Pattern is limited. I kind of miss the games of my childhood now that I cannot play them.

I wanted to express my thanks for sailing the other day. It was beautiful and I look forward to more times out at sea. It is nice to know I have not forgotten how to help on a ship. If I can do anything to repay your kindness, do let me know?

Thanks for the spar. Helped a lot. Do try the card whenever you wish, although if I am in training, I'll not answer of course. I doubt they'd enjoy that one.
