Retirement, of sorts

I’ve taken the next step- I guess it was inevitable.  I’ve left the NOJ and Ruusan, my home for so long.

The big surprise for me was that Dass came with me.  I agreed to finish his training, outside the order.  Which is interesting, balancing his training with the newfound duties of being on a farm.  I’m learning more than my fair share about barq and the processing thereof, as well as learning the ins and outs of keeping drafts out of an ancient farmhouse.  In theory we could raze the place and build up something new, but to be honest, I rather like it.  It’s old and stoney, so it kind of reminds me of my husband.  *soft laugh on the recording here*

I’ve missed my family in the NOJ greatly during this separation- it’s almost been enough to regret walking away.  However, I am more at peace, here with my husband, with the freedom to teach what I feel is most necessary and in the way I’d like to teach it, than I was on Ruusan, where I’d gotten frustrated with trying to work around Sith campsites and paperwork.  Here, life is simple, or relatively so. 

Dass’ training is almost complete, and I have to say I’m extremely proud of his progress.  He’s gaining an understanding beyond his years.  His compassion, intelligence and talent in manipulating the Force have the potential to make him one of the greatest Jedi in recent history.   I look forward to watching him grow and helping him along his path.

I hear the new freighter, the Crimson Angel, coming in to land- Enough time for recording, now is the time for doing.
