[Ansteorra] It is not "MY" place (was, something else)

[Pukhta 'Pooky' Lovtsevich]

I understand the points you make. To clarify what I personally have
learned and apply only to myself,

"It is not my place to question the Wisdom of the Crown." Though I
would serve the Crown well to enlighten Them of any perceptions I may
have concerning Folly.

I perceive everything through a prism of love. I hope that this is
good and valuable to others. I can imagine rushing to a Crown to share
with Them my perceptions especially if something creates shadow within
the light of my prism. But I would interpret such a thing as that as
not being Wisdom, so I was not referring to such a scenario.
Though I just tried, I cannot imagine a situation of Folly applicable
to the Crown of Ansteorra. In stating this I am not asking to be
educated by your perceptions, but rather I afford you the opportunity
to respect my claymation and leave the simple mind of The Pooky
unmorphed and as you found it, lovingly.

If it be true, say amongst yourselves, "Shh... let Pooky be Pooky, we
might still have good use for him." but do take me aside and give me a
heads up whenever I err... I'm very appreciative and grateful for
opportunities to gain more in depth levels of understanding.

Fortunately, "I have no need to ever repeat a mistake."

Sigh... YaY,

Pooky





Every moment within the SCA is a precious gift. A precious gift
wherein we might create the memories of every lifetime. Every lifetime
of happiness and joyful memories is The~Dream!
