The lack of rule here is concerning, not so much in that people must be ruled, perhaps, but that leadership is something worth following. Of the supposed Warden I hear very little and it is worth noting that while I promised Anakin I would focus on what we have been given, the longer I am here, the less I am able to simply put the frustrating form of governing or lack thereof here aside. That Leia and Luke served well spent time on the Police Force, I know, and that they did good while they were here I also know, as they will anywhere that they are. My heart is with them. With Obi-Wan too, and the others.
I feel disarmingly idle, in spite of personal happiness.
Those two days brimming with people once here and now gone again, it is a guilty feeling I have for wanting them to have stayed, and even clarifying that with 'one hour more' is not fair because if I am wanting for one hour more at the end of two days, I am sure that I would still have desire of that one more hour at the end of a hundred.
To see children turned to adults and turned to more than that, I have been fortunate. And Anakin is of late more able to smile. But it is something of a worry still, that darkness he would not speak of completely to me. Hopefully all will be well, regardless or in spite of.

A rather busy set of days, with sickness and old companions, half-lies and half-truths. I have been told that the days to come tend to be riddled with unusual curses, but most of these so-called curses are rather unusual to begin with. I can only imagine what might make them more so. And I'm not sure that I want to.
There is a pattern of topics on the network lately, and I suppose I am throwing my own hand in by saying that I am generally unfamiliar with the celebratory days that continue to be mentioned, but there is something charming about the not knowing. It is interesting to read about, even if some of the stories that center on these holidays are less than believable. They are stories of course. Perhaps I should not be so critical.
Anakin, I have yet to meet most of these friends you speak so well of still. Perhaps we can rectify this in the near future.
