Among the orchard trees...
Amazingly, I am almost content. After another round of frustrations in Zoluren the other eve, I took the land route back home. Somehow the trees, brooks, and lakeside reeds of the north can heal almost any ill. I have been back in my old haunts for only two days, and already I feel refreshed and full of life once more.

Mayhaps even more important than the natural surround, I find the peace and quiet of the north soothing to my senses. A few friends about keep me from dwelling too long on being alone, but the absence of that unmistakable hum of the big city allows me to sleep at night. While I do miss some of my friends from the south, I need this time to make myself whole once more.

Sometimes healing one's wounds simply isn't enough. I must remember to heal my spirit more often.
