Subject: [Ravensfort] Names and naming<BR>> <BR>> But now that I have
read all the other messages (bad me for not doing so in advance) I have many
thoughts:<BR>> <BR>> 1. I love many of the names that have been thrown
out there: Timbrend and South Fields being among the best. I would put South
fields together and make it Southfield. In our event announcements, we would
have either "at the Stones of Raven's Fort" or "at the Southfield of Raven's
Fort," depending on which location; but everyone would refer to it as
"Southfield." The same analysis goes for "timbrend"<BR>> <BR>> 2. I
agree with DSD's instinct on remembering our past, and remembering those stars
who burned so brightly in leading us on our way. This goes not only for Kief,
but all those who built, maintained, and grew Raven's Fort throughout the
years. (warning: shameless self-promotion coming!) When I was Ravenskald
almost a decade ago, I penned a song for Rfort that I think speaks to this
idea:<BR>> <BR>> "I've traveled the known kingdoms<BR>> Seen wheat
fields of gold<BR>> seen mountains that stretch to the sky<BR>> seen
valleys so fruitful they touch paradise<BR>> but my home's most fair to my
eye<BR>> where the wind is blowing through the trees<BR>> and a silent
creek there humbly, gently flows<BR>> and two hills are clad warmly in
garments of green<BR>> and crowned with a circle of stones<BR>> <BR>>
"Now I've coffers of copper and silver and gold<BR>> and rubies and all
precious stones<BR>> but though the wealth of a kingdom may tempt other
hearts<BR>> it can't take the place of my home<BR>> where the rainclouds
drop water more precious than pearls<BR>> and the pine trees like emeralds
have shone<BR>> and the hills there to sleep in are softer than
silk<BR>> and crowned in a circle of stones<BR>> <BR>> "Now our king
may yet call me to a distant land for war<BR>> and it may be my fate there
to die<BR>> yet if I be remembered, go not to my grave<BR>> view this
land to remember me my<BR>> where our memories are woven like vines through
the trees<BR>> where our thoughts stray, wherever we roam<BR>> til we
come again to those two hills where our dream is free<BR>> and crowned with
a circle of stones<BR>> <BR>> "So go again there, in ten years, or
fifteen, or more<BR>> and remember the faces of old<BR>> their valor
undampened, though they have passed on<BR>> for it's their memory that
makes this land our home<BR>> where our memories are woven like vines
through the trees<BR>> where our thoughts stray, wherever we roam<BR>>
til we come again to those two hills where our dream is free<BR>> and
crowned with a circle of stones<BR>> <BR>> "til we come again to those
two hills where our dream is free<BR>> and crowned with a circle of
stones"<BR>> <BR>> I think it would be a wonderful task for the Raven's
Heart, or other similar guild/order, to think of appropriate place names at
the Stones site--and at our new site--to commemorate all those who have had
such a pivotal role in foundation and flourishing of Raven's Fort.<BR>>
