A Moment of Silence
Oct. 4th, 2009 08:15 amA moment of silence for Kolfinna was held at the beginning of opening court of Artemisian Crown Tourney yesterday. King Sean spoke words of the SCA losing a great woman the day we lost Kolfinna. And I gave out orange ribbons. Lots of orange ribbons. Syr Kian had orange sttrips of fabric for arm bands. There was much orange out there.
There was a person who came to me and said "She must have been a good friend to you." And I said "She was, but I am sad that we didn't get to know each other better."
And later that day, I looked around at the goings on and the wonder that was the day and thought that in these moments, we honor Kolfinna and those that have gone before her and the love they had for our society. We honor them by continuing to live the dream, even when it is not easy and even when things seem to get in our way.
And at the bar that evening, Kelwin and I raised a glass to Kolfinna.
