Early thoughts

[Lysana McMillan]

So much in my head in so short a time. Reading notecards as if they are a novel I can't put down. Seeing so many things that sing to me. And yet...

One notecard spoke of the inner Aphrodite. I seem to have an inner Freyja instead. She is Love to be sure. She also has her warrior aspect. The ones who stay behind to fight for the ones who cannot are Hers. She also chooses from those slain on the battlefield to join Her in Folkvangr (Odin's takings go to Valhalla, and He gets the ones She leaves behind).

But cannot a warrior act out of love? Tending to the sick and infirm in your village is an act of love and devotion, after all. They serve who also stand ready against the unthinkable.

And one can fight battles with love. We all know those who have preached and practiced passive resistance out of love.

So here I stand, would-be Lover and would-be Warrior, and I know deep within me that here I may find the resolution between the two. Aphrodite loved Ares, after all.
