More than a decade has flown by . . .

I'd forgotten this blog still existed until a note from Blogger reminded me with a notice that it would soon be deleted as long inactive. I couldn't let that happen. The memories here are too precious. Perhaps there have been no tales of the Monastery for some years, There were, alas, a great many stories that never made their way here and are now lost in the ether. choisi and I are much older than we were when these tales were created, and life has interfered with our relationship in too many ways. But the deep affection and regard we've long had for each other remains. Whoever you are who's stumbled upon this blog in these late days, be assured that we remain precious to each other, and I see no sign of that ever changing.
