If you take a few moments you can see the sky stretch out endlessly as if it went on forever and maybe it does for no wonder where you go there is the sky. As had come my routine once more I am awake late into the night walking thru the grasses and listening to the silence that is always just along the edge of life. There is much to be learned and heard within the silence.
I do not venture far from the wagons and I stay within the vision of the warriors that are up and on patrol. Occasionally I stop to talk to one or two to see how things go with them and their watch, never lingering long so I do not distract them.
I did tell one that I needed to walk out a bit further than my usual walks entailed because I needed to do a small ritual to obtain an answer to an important request, they knew not to interfere or be to close not that they wanted to but they respected what I needed to do for they knew it was something for the welfare of the tribe and also because they did not know what we did at times the unknown often fueled the imagination and I got a kick out of things they entertained.
I found a place to lay a fur and arrange the items I carried, I sat there for a while preparing myself to physically relax and to empty my mind. In truth I did not need any elaborate ritual not that we would do them on the trail as it was to dangerous to do so, nor did I need the small one I was preparing, but I wanted to relax and listen to the plains. The ground as rough beneath me but even it had a tale to tell. The grass and the winds all sang a song beneath the audience of the moons. The plains was draped in splashes of the silvery white moon beams, sometimes it felt as if you could reach out and touch them and touch the glimmering shades of color that resided in the diamond dust.
I sat there for I do not know how long and I obtained the answer I was searching for. But I did not get up to leave right away, instead I sat there quietly. Contemplating the present and the future, I saw glimpses of visions for various people , I saw an unexpected surprise for one in which a bond is formed that will have deep meaning, but it does not reveal if it will bloom into romance or not, I see the lofty aspirations of another being lowered when reality reveals that they will not be able to have what they want, it will be the first taste of growing up, I see another taking steps that surprise even themselves as they finally find themselves and become the woman they are meant to, and yet another will find an unexpected treasure right before him. I see another finding himself once more and his place. Some things I have expected, but a few things were a surprise.
I headed back to my wagons, I would search out Ba'atar and Ayguili in the early morning with an answer to the question . On the way back I paused by one of the men ending his patrol and told him that he might want to take back with him some tea for his mate. He looked at me oddly for a moment but he advised that he would. Then I smiled as I returned to my wagons, he would be finding out his mate of many turnings was with child, they had hoped for one for a very long time but had given up on having any. Their patience has now been rewarded.
