Today was a bit discouraging, I admit. I have been trying this past week to teach Freya to focus her will, in order to give her some influence over any future fighting, but it is something of the blind leading the blind. I do not have the language to pass on the teaching that was given to me, and even if I did, my training as a Guardian was expanding on a foundation that I have received since birth. We…
Thanks to the work of Kasfe and Anathalie, we have identified those Violences that attacked us.

She has set a page on a table in each room with a pencil in the middle, and in a circle she has written “hello”, “yes”, “no”, “it’s complicated”,…
