Reflection - The world of Ur is changing, what seemed unimaginable in the past draws close. I feel torn between two worlds . . . the old safe here in my Alakol home, and the new . . . exciting, advancement, an opening to new adventures, and I strive to be ready . . . to prepare for what is to come, but do we really know? Are we ever ready? I will go out into the world to search for answers, tho there may yet be none to find.
