The temple is quiet. North, South, East and West have been peaceful...

The bunny population is normal again...

There's bunnies everywhere...

The weather around the temple has been warming up. I suppose it's the turn of the new season... It looks like the right time for kids to be outside playing...

When I was younger, Father and I would take walks around the temple grounds. One time while we were walking he told me this story...

A young child and his grandmother were at the village festival. The child had little freckles all over his face.
When they saw an artist painting on children's faces, they went to stand in the line. A little boy in front of him turned around and told him, "You can't have your face painted! You have too many freckles, there's no space left!"
This upset the child very much, but his grandmother squatted down beside him and told him, "Don't worry about him. When I was young I always wanted freckles. They're so beautiful. Can you think of anything more beautiful than freckles?"
The little boy thought for a moment and answered, "Wrinkles."

I met two nice young men recently... Sometimes I think I should write here more often, but then I start a new project and before I know it I'm all tied up...

It's been a little while since I've spoken to Philomel-san... I wonder how she is...

I suppose I could put a cute story my father once told me here...

Once, there was a little boy drawing a picture. His father asked him what he was drawing.

"I'm drawing the god Ragsiel-sama."

His father responded, perplexed, "But no one knows what Ragsiel-sama looks like."

"I know," the boy answered, "So I need to finish drawing this picture. Then everyone will know what he looks like."

((I figured the story could actually be about Kurt. ^o^ Seems like something he'd do as a kid.))

Ragsiel-sama, there is a wedding coming up...

Has anyone seen Father Anderson...? I haven't seen him for awhile...

(No, Kurt has no concept of 'time'.)

When someone you know posts, and they don't remember you... What are you supposed to do...?

Do you rebuild the friendship...?
Do you pretend you never met them...?
Do you leave them alone...?

Kurt was boiling water for the tea and slowly cleaning up the kitchen. Not that there was a big mess in the first place. He had no idea when Ragsiel-sama would show up, but he'd likely just pop in whenever he felt like it.
