Put away that rolling pin! Whip this lighter pumpkin pie together in a blender or food processor and pour it directly into the pie pan. It's easy and delicious.
For a festive presentation, sprinkle plates with ground cinnamon and top the pie with frozen (thawed) whipped topping and a cinnamon stick.
No pumpkin pie spice on hand? Use 1/2 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and ground ginger instead.

Imagi Nation
Imagine the anticipation as you approach the entrance to a city built to scale for children, complete with its own bank, market, health & dental clinic and even an ice cream flavor lab! This is no ordinary city, as children make all the decisions here – which companies to visit, what jobs to perform, how much money to make and where to spend or save it. This magical place where education is seamlessly blended with entertainment is not fictional; it's called Imagi Nation.
Imagi Nation is an interactive, educational, entertainment experience where children ages 3 – 12 can role-play over 40 different careers within a realistic, kid-sized community. In this pretend world of business enterprises, children are paid with Biznis Bucks for the work they perform. In the Imagi Nation economy, they can also pay for entertainment and shopping opportunities, or choose to save or donate their Biznis Bucks to a charity of their choice.

Take control of your thinking to deal with pressure and minimize stress
Whether we love to it or not, the majority of us become stuck with repeating patterns of behaviour. Some of these patterns could be useful when associated with instances when we feel confident or situations where we feel comfortable. Others might be less beneficial whenever we are not supported by positive feelings. Regardless of the patterns are, they will usually produce the same, or similar, results and, therefore, reinforce how you think and feel regarding the situation.
When we feel under pressure, or could be becoming stressed, we can tend to enter an "auto-response" mode and repeat our patterns – and often end up with the same feelings and results. Consider if you wish to continue in this way, or could you prefer to handle things differently to get another result? It may be finished with practice and determination.
How we behave is normally as a result of a simple process. Our contemplating a situation, events or people dictates our feeling regarding it. Consequently, our feeling influences our behaving. We can change our responses to folks or situations, or how you might approach something or someone by taking a look at all these. While they do get in a flow from thinking to feeling to behaving, changing any element will have an effect on the entire process.
We will adhere to the flow in the process and start by exploring thinking and ways to Change your thoughts. One essential to remember that the thoughts will be the own! No-one has the legal right to explain to you how to contemplate anything. You will have a choice concerning how to think and might decide to begin considering situations or events. Your present method of thinking could have evolved on account of numerous factors, starting with a young age. You may have been relying on parents, members of the family, teachers, bosses, work colleagues and friends to mention several of the sources. This is perfectly natural there is nothing wrong by using it. What many people overlook is simply because they do not possess permit these views and thoughts be the only ones they hold. All of us have the energy to produce our very own thinking, and also to rid yourself of any unhelpful thoughts. I repeat, your thinking are your own and you will have a decision about what you believe. This allows you to view situations differently, possibly in the more positive or helpful manner.
You are able to identify your thinking patterns when you take note of your "self-talk" and where messages take a seat on a continuum of negative to positive. (The previous cliché, can you start to see the glass as half empty or half full?) Even though some recent studies suggest that using things such as self-affirmations have virtually no value, there is no evidence to infer that positive thinking does not work! Be cautious of labels you put on people or events. If we think poorly or negatively about someone or anything, it is going to influence how you feel – and the way we behave. Guess what, once we think it, it will likely be so. This is basically the rationale behind the frequency of self-fulfilling prophecy! Allow yourself to change your thinking. Start reframing, looking at things in another way. Recognise that we now have other ways of considering things. Facing a thing that you really feel could be difficult, as an alternative to think, "this will be difficult, I'm sure I can't get it done" consider, "I have got done difficult things before, I could do this" or "this may not be too difficult once i compare it to…". Change your "self-talk" to assist you improve your thinking.
Your emotional reaction to things will provide you with feedback on what you possess been thinking. This can be worth paying attention to as our opinion of things are often happening with an unconscious level so we have been not always mindful of them. In the same way our thoughts influence our feelings, these emotions will result in our behaviour. Take into consideration the way you act while you are feeling positive. What is your physiology, ie your posture and the body language you are using? Now take into consideration the way you act while you are feeling down or negative? For each and every instance, consider how your voice discovers – does it show your confidence, or will it sound hesitant or "down"?
We might prefer to think we could mask our feelings, but most of us tend not to manage it adequately. We give a great deal of clues regarding how we are feeling. This is certainly one good reason why it pays to consider additional control of your respective thinking so that you are in charge of your emotions. What exactly is the benefit of feeling negative, or feeling "bad"? Many people may become comfortable with feeling like this through habit. It really is their choice if they need to try this. Consider, 10devvpky do you need to feel? To make this happen, look back to your thinking and initiate your changes there. After you start generating more positive thinking and responses you will have the appropriate feelings – resulting in projecting these through your behaviour and non-verbal signals.
Your behaviour is really what others see. They utilize this to make judgements about you and the character, whether accurate or perhaps not! Another factor to consider is definitely the impact your behaviour could have on others as well as their behaviour in reaction to you. The old saying, "behaviour breeds behaviour" is frequently very true. If someone's response to you is indifferent or negative by any means, make time to check how you could be behaving, be it your system language or tone of voice which can be triggering the response. Develop your self-understanding of your behaviour, posture, gesture, level of eye contact, tone of voice and language you utilize. Will it be what you would like it to be? When is it better? What are you looking to do to do this? The majority of people, including friends and family, will rarely provide you with feedback relating to your behaviour and its particular effect on others. Therefore, you have to learn how to monitor it yourself and identify any changes you want to make.
To help make the adjustments suggested here, you need to "unstick" your old patterns. If it helps you, find some help or support. It might come from a friend, member of the family, a mentor or maybe a counsellor or therapist. (Especially one who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy.) Remember, your feelings and thoughts are yours! No-one else is accountable for them. If you want to develop more flexible or useful behavioural options, start by altering your thinking. It is possible to help yourself work at this by adopting some "as though" behaviours. Although we talk of your process from thinking, through feeling to doing – you are able to achieve some alteration of your feeling by behaving "just as if" you might be feeling positive, confident etc. It might not be quite as powerful as beginning with your thinking, but it really can support this process. Finally, change your viewing of individuals or situations and you may make positive changes to doing!

The scepter – Day 61
A scepter was found
Merilock found a strange object that for us is a screw, but for him is a mighty scepter that he can use as a cane or as something to hurt other Kritures.
"28th day of the Odyssey,
Today I found an object that I will call Scepter. I have learned that this can hurt Kritures, it wasn't really me. The mighty scepter will also help me to travel by supporting myself in the way, just like a cane. Very useful so far."

Magnesium is an essential macro-mineral and is involved in many of the body's processes. Sufficient magnesium intake is associated with a decreased risk of many common ailments including diabetes, osteoporosis, and hypertension (high blood pressure). A tablespoon of almond butter contains about 48 mg of magnesium. A tablespoon of peanut butter, on the other hand, contains only about half that amount (24 mg). The recommended daily amount of magnesium is dependent upon gender and age. The table to the right shows the recommended daily amounts of magnesium estimated by the National Institute of Health.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is known for its anti-oxidative properties. Your body uses vitamin E to combat against free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that damage your cells and are even seen to be associated with cancer. Vitamin E is also necessary to maintain proper immune function. Almond butter contains about 4 times as much vitamin E than does peanut butter (4mg per tablespoon in almond butter and 1mg per tablespoon in peanut butter). The table to the right shows the recommended daily amounts of Vitamin E also estimated by the National Institute of Health.
Iron is necessary in the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin; proteins that regulate oxygen transport throughout your body. Iron also assists in proper bone development and supports metabolism. A tablespoon of almond butter provides about 0.6 mg of iron while a tablespoon of peanut butter provides only 0.3 mg. The table to the right shows the recommended daily amounts of iron estimated by the National Institute of health.
Do It Yourself
Store bought almond butter usually has added preservatives. Manufacturers add preservatives in order to increase shelf life. Before purchase take a look at the ingredients. If there is anything on there other than almonds, it is not organic almond butter.
I like to make my almond butter at home. I have provided a very simple recipe.
Ingredients and Tools
- 3 cup almonds
- Effective food processor (preferably with an S blade)
- Spatula
- Place almonds into food processor and blend for 30 minutes.
- Every 5 minutes use the spatula to scrape the almonds that get stuck to the side.
- After about 15-20 minutes you will notice the almond oils begin to release.
- Keep blending for another 10-15 minutes.
- Voila, you have now made your very own homemade almond butter!
- Use the spatula to add the almond butter into a glass jar.
- Place in refrigerator after use.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the health benefits of almond butter please leave them in the comment section below. Also, if you have any tips about the uses of almond butter I would love to hear about them!

"Stir into flame the gift of God." 2Timothy 1:6
While the Sulpician Fathers may be known best for operating seminaries, Sulpicians have always been involved in the ongoing formation of priests as well. By serving as spiritual directors for priests, directing priests' retreats, facilitating convocations, and giving workshops for priests, the Sulpicians continue to carry out the important work of encouraging, supporting and reinvigorating established priests to enable them to best carry out their respective ministries.
In recent decades, there have been significant efforts in all three Sulpician provinces to provide a more organized and systematic approach to this aspect of our ministry. Today, the U.S. Province is involved in four continuing formation programs, including:
Continuing Formation Programs
• Vatican II Institute for Clergy Formation at St. Patrick's in Menlo Park, California
• Center for Continuing Formation at St. Mary's in Baltimore, Maryland
• Institute for Seminary Formators
• St. Mary's Spiritual Center & Historic Site on Paca Street in Baltimore, Maryland
Did You Know?
In 1995, Pope John Paul II blessed the cornerstone for the new Center for Continuing Formation at St. Mary's Seminary and University in an historic visit to Baltimore.

What to do about sensitive teeth and gums
By Angelo V. Fernandez DMD, FICD
Everyone has experienced the sheer torture of not being able to enjoy a sumptuous meal or an ice-cold refreshing drink due to twinges of pain and discomfort in teeth and gums. To prevent this experience from depriving us of our next gastronomic indulgence, it is important to understand what causes the sensitivity.
Exposing the tooth
Teeth become sensitive when their inner layer, called dentin, is exposed. Dentin is composed of several tubules or openings with nerve branches that lead to the nerve center of the tooth called the pulp. In healthy teeth, dentin is protected by an enamel layer. Tooth sensitivity occurs when this enamel gets stripped due to several reasons:
• tooth decay;
• aggressive tooth brushing with hard bristles;
• cracked tooth filling; and
• tartar build up as a result of poor oral hygiene.
In severe cases wherein bigger tooth structures are damaged, the pulp is then exposed, causing even more sensitivity and even pain.
Gum grumbles
Redness, swelling, bleeding, pain, sores and ulcers are symptoms of gum sensitivity. The discomfort and pain may be felt in a small part of the gum or the whole gumline, depending on the cause.
Sometimes, simple gum sores are confused with or dismissed as simple tooth problems, like having food particles wedged between the teeth and the gumline, or a fork-pricked gum area. Do remember that when gum pain is felt in a larger area of the gumline, gum disease must be seriously considered.
Prevent the pain
As with all oral health concerns, proper oral hygiene is the key to prevention:
• Eat a well-balanced diet. Keep away from sweets. Choose high calcium foods, too.
• Use mouthwash and toothpaste with fluoride.
• Brush, floss and chew dental health gum.
• Visit your dentist twice a year. Regular professional teeth cleaning is a must.
Remember, sensitive teeth and gums may be early signs of more serious oral health concerns. To avoid grave dental problems like tooth loss and advanced gum disease, see your dentist regularly.

Saint Patrick's Day is an Irish bank and public holiday held on March 17th every year, relating to Saint Patrick who made all the Irish become Catholic CE 400 by using shamrocks... so we are told� but historians agree that the man who did this great conversion by bringing the Catholic religion to Ireland was called Palladius (who was married with children), he was most definitely not named Patrick, nor was he Irish and there were no snakes in Ireland for either he or Patrick to eradicate and neither he or Patrick ever mentions shamrocks. As the current calendar is less than 250 years in use it cannot be used to establish dates in the early medieval period so it is highly unlikely that he died on March 17th 460ad. So, what is his true story?
The saint called Paddy/Pat/Patrick was not Irish. Historians agree that Patrick was born in 373 CE giving two possible locations � Dumbarton in Scotland or on the west coast of Roman Britain i.e. Wales. The Romans are said to have exited Britain by 410 CE. Patrick eventually retired to Glastonbury, England, where he died at the age of one hundred and eleven on the 17 March, 460 A.D. These dates do not add up; 460 � 373 = only 87 years of age, so was he 87 or 111 years old when he died? It depends on which spin you read� The man who is so well known to us as St Patrick was originally called - Maewyn Succat or Magonus Saccatus Patricius. His father Calpurnius, had been a deacon and a decurion and his grandfather was a priest, his mother was called Conchessa.
Pope Celestine gave Maewyn Succat or Magonus Saccatus the name of Patrick. The Pope gave him the mission of bringing the Catholic Faith to Ireland. He gave him many relics and other spiritual gifts, and gave him the name "Patercius" or "Patritius". This name is derived from two Latin words pater civium meaning the father of his people. The designation is like Patricus, a Latin / Roman upper class name similar to Patrician. Rome had three classes � Patrician, Plebeian and Paganus. Patrician was the ruling class, while Plebeian was the working and middle class leaving Paganus to be the name / rank for all those who did not obey the rule of Rome.
We are told that he was taken into slavery at 16 years of age and sold in Ireland where he worked as a sheepherder for 6 years. It was during his time as a slave sheep minder that he began to have religious visions. These visions re-enforced (so we are told) his Catholic Faith. During one of these visions he heard voices that told him where he could find a getaway ship. He escaped, went to France where he became a priest and later on he returned to France to become a bishop.
He also burned many Druid books if his confessions are to be believed. 150 Druid Books were burned and on Tara he caused a competition with a Druid Book and the Bible to be thrown into a barrel of water � needless to say the Druid Book sank proving that the Bible was a better book. But hang on, we are repeatedly told that the Druids did not have books!
He also prayed for an old Druid to die � we are told that Arch-Druid Lochru was lifted up high in the air but Patrick knelt in prayer and the Druid fell and was dashed to pieces upon a rock. St Patrick is said to have caused the murders of almost eight hundred Druids. The folk tale of a she-beast called Caoranach that he banished to an island in the middle of Lough Derg in Donegal is accompanied by the tale of a woman who followed him very closely and that after he had banished the she-beast, this woman was never seen again... The pilgrimage today to the retreat centre on Lough Derg is a trick for the followers of this St Patrick religion because it is on the wrong island� the Pagan cave temple on the island that the Catholic Church tried to use was not hospitable to them so them moved their Purgatory to another island in the same lake and achieved some commercial success for a while.
He also caused two young princesses to die at the Ogulla Well, aka Cliabach Well. Here he baptised of Eithne and Fidelma, daughters of King Laoghaire of Tara. They were attending the great Druid school of Cashel Manann�in at Rathcroghan. The two sisters were washing when St. Patrick came upon them. He told them that the only way to see God is after death. St. Patrick then baptized them after which they both died. Not a good plan � this seems to be a cover story for something else.
The designation or title of �saint� for this Patrick has never been acknowledged by any of the Roman Catholic Popes. The Irish church tells us that it was by public acclimation that Patrick got this title. Yet this is just spin. He was called Naomh, which means holy, just as Brigid was holy (ie Naomh) but by being in control of the native language the church changed the meaning of many words and Naomh changed from being holy to being saint. When this happened, no one could say anything because the church wielded the power of life and death and social ostracisation / excommunication against its detractors. Today, we are told that the head of Patrick, like that of Columcille and Brigid rest in a Jesuit Church in Portugal. Their 3 bodies are buried in Downpatrick in the North of Ireland.
Stories claim that when he was 60 years old, St. Patrick choose to go back to Ireland, the land of his slave years - to give the Gael the Catholic word. This was a very advanced age for the time and today the equivalent age may be near 90. His charisma converted many people and in the written records the church scribes tell us that he used the three-leafed shamrock to share the idea of father, son and holy spirit make God. In Ireland, we have five types of 3-leaf-clovers - trifolium dubium (lesser trefoil), trifolium repens (white clover), medicap lupulina (black medick), oxalis acetosella (wood sorrel) and trifolium pratense (red clover). These 5 trefoils have easy to spot differences and most could be found anywhere on the Island but St Patrick never even mentions one of them. Think about this � Patrick never mentions Shamrocks or Seamrogs once, never.
The Irish word for Shamrock is �seamrog� and it means �summer plant�. It grows in the wild all over the northern hemisphere, at high altitudes in the tropics and even in Africa and believe it or not even in South America. Many of these countries have snakes, some of which are huge, others deadly. The type of shamrock given by our Taoiseach to the US president is originally from Morocco, but don�t tell either of them.
Because there is no mention of the three-leaf clover / shamrock in Patrick�s writings we can conclude that this claimed association is quite simply modern propaganda by his promoters. The first written reference to shamrocks in conjunction with St Patrick was made in 1571; over a thousand years after St. Patrick had passed over. The Seamr�g became the badge of St Patrick�s Day in 1681 in America. The first written record of the shamrock being a symbol of the Catholic Trinity appears in 1727. So it can be easily understood that the myth of St Patrick had a shamrock symbol added to it only a few hundred years ago � it may be obvious to some that this was a commercialisation tactic as well as displacement of native practices honouring the Spring Equinox.
The shamrock is not the official symbol of Ireland � this honour is reserved for the Celtic Harp. The shamrock now represents the culture of the Catholic Church hero of St Patrick. The shamrock became a symbol of rebellion against the oppression of Queen Victoria, who made it a capital crime (punishable by death) to wear the shamrock. This was probably the most influential reason for the worldwide adoption by Irish people and their sympathisers of the Shamrock as a symbol of Irishness.
Legend has it that Saint Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland -- that they all went into the sea and drowned (more on this later). There is no reason to believe there were actually any snakes in Ireland ever. There is no archaeological proof of snakes anywhere in Ireland at any time in the past. As this knowledge becomes more available we got fed the notion in to our mainstream consciousness that �this is probably an allegory for the driving out of paganism (snakes were a revered pagan symbol in some places)�. But this is just not so for Ireland, there were not and are not any snakes in Ireland so adding in bits of foreign snake lore is just disinformation.
The famous mountain of Croagh Patrick or as its more commonly known in Ireland �The Reek� was a place of Pagan Pilgrimage long before the Christians became Catholic in 325ad. It is a round cone shaped mountain that looks like a pyramid from a distance. This holy mountain is quartzite with seams of gold throughout, it sits on the western seaboard overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the setting Sun.
Croagh Patrick aka the Reek was once know as Cruchan Aigli or in English; Eagle Mountain, it is 2510 feet above sea level. It has always been a holy place with pilgrimage on the last Sunday of July (during Catholic times), which is of course the wrong day as the Sun magic happens later in the month but the plan was to disconnect the people from the Sun and connect them to a foreign religion. This last Sunday of the month of July is now used because of traditional connection to Lughnasa, the harvest festival of Lugh, a bright god of the Tuatha De Dannan and in his day it may have been called Cnoc Lugh. Archaeological investigations backed up by excavations show that a hill fort with stone ramparts and dwellings and 30 hut sites are to be found on the top of the Reek. There are ancient cooking sites, megalithic tombs, standing stones, burial mounds, ringforts and today�s� modern Catholic Church. I doubt that many Catholic Pilgrims know that this holy mountain was sacred to Lugh. Its old name of Eagle Mountain may refer to the practice of excarnation, de-fleshing of the dead by carrion birds before burning of the remains and finally � internment of the remaining bones in an earthen mound. This practice was not uncommon in prehistoric times.
It was on this holy mountain that St Patrick supposedly did his greatest magic � when he summoned a great host of loathsome and venomous creatures and then commanded them to cast themselves over the edge of the mountain, thus freeing the Irish countryside from all kinds of reptiles. This included dragons, snakes and all types of reptiles, none of which ever existed in Ireland. We are told that St Patrick did this by verbal command. The actual truth is that there were no snakes in Ireland and long after he was dead and his head was gone into Jesuit care somebody just added this trick to St Patrick�s name. It was as if the Pagan traditions were still so strong with the Lughnasa pilgrimage to the Reek in August that something had to be done to displace the old ways and such a fantastic story as dragon/snake banishing fitted the bill. It had to be long after St Patrick�s death or else everyone would know it was just made up fantasy.
So, St Patrick�s famous mountain was the most revered place of pilgrimage to the Pagan God Lugh. Hang on a minute � there were no snakes to be banished and he never mentions shamrocks in his writings, no Pope would call him saint and his most famous site is a place of ancient Pagan Pilgrimage! Maybe there was something else that was being occulted from our view by those who would impose a foreign religion on the indigenous practices of our people.
Read on and re-discover the hidden Pagan importance of this unique place with its amazing similarity to El Castillo where the Mayans of Central American honour the spring equinox. El Castillo is the name of their great pyramid of the Equinox and as the sunsets on its western face light and dark compliment each other creating a very special pattern of a diamond backed snake descending the pyramid. This solar magic has always been known as the "The Return of the Sun Serpent". See http://www.druidschool.com/site/1030100/page/765341 for a full story of the Equinox.
Here in Ireland, we too still have the natural magic of the land and the sun rises and sets that were known to our ancestors � such as at Newgrange, Knowth etc. But there is also an ancient walkway from Cruachan, the huge royal complex in Connaught (famous for Queen Meave, Rath Croghan) to the Reek on the western seaboard where we have unique solar magic still happening twice a year. Ireland�s Druidschool is located just a few miles from Cruachan and just over an hours drive to the Reek and from our hill on a clear day we can see the Reek standing proud on the horizon. Along the Pagan Pilgrimage causeway to the Reek many churches, abbeys and settlements were established and most of these have long since gone. In 1987 Gerry Bracken re-discovered that that the setting sun rolls down the northern slope of Croagh Patrick / Reek - this spectacular event can be seen from Bohea, 7km (just over 4m) east of the Reek on the ancient causeway from Cruachan. At Bohea there is a remarkable rock outcrop decorated with cup and ring marks that we as Dru� today see as ancient sacred geometry.
This solar phenomenon lasts about twenty minutes and is seen at sunset on the 18th of April and the 24th of August. The 18th of April and the 24th of August and the 21st of December make a year of three parts. Normally, the Sun disappears behind the Reek, but on the 18th of April and the 24th of August the Sun itself climbs to the very top of the Reek and then the Sun begins to roll down the northern slope of the Reek as if it is a ball on the edge of a hill. This was what our ancestors saw � stand in the right place at the right time and see the magic of the Sun and Land.
Images of this magnificent sun set and the sacred geometry on the stone can be seen here
The Catholic Church displaced this Pagan practice with their last Sunday in July as the special day, but now that we live nearby we will visit the Bohea stone on April 18 2011 before sunset and witness this long lost phenomena for ourselves as we join in with the locals in re-establishing the connection to this ancient time cycle. It promises to be a spectacular Sunset as we also have a Full Moon on the same day! Even more fortunate is that this day is in one of our Study and Live weeks � so Dru� Dalta� studying with us at this time will also get the opportunity to see this amazing event.
The conclusion offered is that this legend of Patrick was fabricated because he did not bring the Catholic faith or Christian beliefs to Ireland, he wasn�t Irish, it is highly unlikely that he could live to be 111 years of age when the usual life expectancy was maybe 50ish, he was given immense powers of traveling the entire country building churches and digging wells, killing dragons, snakes and reptiles that did not exist, burning 150 Druid books that did not exist, praying for old Arch Druids to die, killing or causing 800 Druids to be killed, having a female follower who was close to him disappear linked to a she-beast story, causing two princesses to die by his baptism, he never mentions shamrocks in his writings and he was given the totem of a shamrock long after he was dead, his title is not recognized by the leader of his own religion because no Pope would call him a saint and his fabricated importance was set up to displace a Pagan God. His most famous place was and is sacred to the Pagan God Lugh where we can still see incredible Sun and Landscape magic as our ancestors did. The reality today is that on the 17th of March many rivers are dyed green and people wear funny green hats and drink far too much alcohol especially green beer and pretend to be Irish. Do people make drunken fools of themselves on this day because they reckon that is what St Patrick did? He has out lived his usefulness to the Church that fabricated him and has become an alcoholic embarrassment for them � he is now a champion golem to excess commercialism, this is today�s true story of St Patrick.
Spring Equinox 2011
Ireland�s Druidschool
From Irish Medieval History at https://www.facebook.com/Medieval.Ireland/posts/897375146972947:0
Saintly misconceptions - St. Patrick was not Irish, St George was not English and St Andrew was not Scottish. St. David of Wales is the only patron saint who is a native. Every so often one comes across articles which erroneously claim that St. Patrick�s nationality was Welsh, English or British in spite of the fact that Wales and England did not exist in St. Patrick�s time. He was a Romano-Briton meaning he came from a Roman family living in Roman colonial Britain.
Similar maladroitness has led some to claim that St. Patrick did not bring Christianity to Ireland that this honour was achieved by Palladius. Therefore we should be celebrating St. Palladius Day on March 17th. In reality there were two St. Patricks and neither of them brought Christianity to Ireland! Here is the evidence.
The great Irish historian T. F. O'Rahilly's "Two Patricks" theory was first posited in a lecture in 1942 where he playfully stoked controversy in order the initiate academic debate. O'Rahilly like many scholars before noted that a contemporary continental chronicler named Prosper of Aquitaine wrote that Palladius was sent as the first bishop of the Irish by the pope to Ireland in 431AD. Yet tradition tells us that Patrick was ordained bishop and sent to Ireland to convert the Irish in 432AD. O'Rahilly was intimating that the histories of two men had been confused and folded together. The Irish writers of the lives of St. Patrick say, that St. Palladius had preached in Ireland a little before St. Patrick, but that he was soon banished by the king of Leinster and returned to North Britain.
Scottish church tradition holds that he presided over a Christian community there for around 20 years but the Irish Vita Tripartita (The Tripartite Life of Saint Patrick) states that he died at Cell Fine (thought to be modern-day Killeen Cormac, County Kildare), where he left his books, together with a writing tablet and relics of Peter and Paul. Alban Butler, citing Hector Boethius and Camden, says that he died at Fordun, fifteen miles south of Aberdeen about the year 450.
Neither Palladius nor his mission is mentioned in official Roman sources and references to Palladius in later Irish documents derive either from the Chronicle Prosper of Aquitaine or from Book I of Bede�s Ecclesiastical History of the English People dating from 731AD, who also used Prosper as the source of his information. In another entry, written in the later 430s, Prosper appears to allude again to the mission of Palladius in his polemical tract known as Contra Collatorem. He refers to Pope Celestine as having made Britain ("the Roman island") Catholic, while making Ireland ("the barbarous island") Christian. This was in reference, in the first instance, to an earlier episode, in 429, when Pope Celestine dispatched Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, to Britain in order to combat a recent recrudescence of the heresy known as Pelagianism. That mission (again according to Prosper) had been undertaken at the instigation of a deacon named Palladius, who is undoubtedly identical with the man of that name sent to Ireland in 431. It is generally assumed that the mission to Ireland in 431 followed on from the one to Britain in 429, on the basis that the ecclesiastical authorities in Rome would probably have feared for the orthodoxy of any fledgling Christian community in Ireland because of its geographical proximity to the compromised Christians of Britain. It is assumed also that Palladius was, by whatever means, familiar with the situation in Ireland.
When knowledge is absent we fill the gaps with assumptions but the reality is that outside of the references of Prosper of Aquitaine the information is not reliable. Historians consider Prosper of Aquitaine to be a more reliable source of information than the traditional views of the Irish or British because Prosper is neutral. He has nothing to gain and no national cause to promote in relation to these two individuals.
So what exactly did Prosper write? He states in his chronicle entry for the year 431AD �Ad Scotum in Christum credentes ordinatur a Papa Celestino Palladius et primus episcopus mittitur�.
Translated as �To the Irish believing in Christ, Pope Celestine sends Palladius as the first Bishop�.
In plain language Prosper tells us that there were Christians in Ireland before the arrival of Palladius and Patrick, so neither of them were first to bring Christianity to Ireland!
Patrick himself would be allowed to judge all the Irish people on the Last Day...
Patrick, Patron of Ireland
The work of a missionary from somewhere in the west of Britain was crucial to the conversion of Ireland to the Christian faith in the 5th centuryAD. He was a Romanised Celt called Patricius, son of a deacon and grandson of a priest. At the age of sixteen he was seized by an Irish raiding party near his home and brought across the sea to this country, where he was sold as a slave. After several years herding animals in lonely places, he managed to escape, and made his way to the Continent, where he studied for the priesthood. One night in his sleep he dreamed that a voice called to him to return to Ireland and to 'walk once more amongst us'. The compassionate and determined way in which he answered that mystical request has caused him to be known and loved ever since as Naomh Padraig, or Saint Patrick, patron of Ireland.
We know this much of his life-story from one of the few documents written by Patrick himself, his Confessio. But, unfortunately, we know little else of the precise details of his actual mission, for he gives but very scant detail of either time or place. To him his work was principally a spiritual task, the gaining of souls for God, and thus he wrote in a private rather than an annalistic mode. Traditionally the dates 432 AD to 461 AD have been given for his mission in Ireland, and there is little doubt but that his feast-day, March 17, was the date of his death. Although there were some scattered Christian communities in Ireland before his arrival, it is clear that the impetus for the general change to Christianity throughout the land was due to him personally and to his work.
Almost two hundred years after his time, two biographies of him were written, by monks called Muirch� and T�reach�n. Both of these were acquainted with the writings of the saint himself and also with some traditions concerning him. But they invented much, and borrowed material from the Bible and other early Christian literature in order to portray him as a special prophet sent by God to the Irish people. As a result, modern scholars regard these and later mediaeval biographies of the saint as having no historical value, except for the study of how legends develop around the name of a famous person.
These fanciful texts do, however, have some curious accounts which seem to echo the preaching of Patrick himself. For instance, in the Confessio he contrasted the idols of the pagan Irish to the true 'light' of Christianity. He criticised in particular the belief in the divinity of the sun, claiming that 'its brilliance will not endure', and that those who worship it will be punished; and insisted instead on the worship of Christ, 'the true sun who will never perish, nor will anyone who does His will'. It is interesting to note that both Muirch� and T�reach�n tell a story of a fire-ordeal by which the saint showed the superior power of Christianity over that of a pagan druid. According to the story, a servant of Patrick emerged unscathed from the ordeal, being untouched by the fires of paganism, whereas his opponent was totally consumed by the fire of the Christian faith.
In the Confessio, Patrick repeatedly refers to the great 'gift' he has received - meaning the conversion of the Irish people - and remarks that 'whether I receive good or ill, I return thanks equally to God'. Curiously, Muirch� relates a story of how a powerful pagan called D�ire sent a cauldron to Patrick as a gift, but the saint uttered no more than a single word of thanks. The pagan was incensed at this, and had the cauldron taken back, but Patrick expressed the same word of gratitude again. This caused the pagan to reconsider his position, and he gave the cauldron to Patrick to keep, as well as a site on which to build a church at Armagh. It is interesting to note that D�ire was an alternate name for the Celtic father-deity who was more usually referred to as the 'Daghdha', the bountiful god who gave to all from his great cauldron. Since Patrick preached that the Christian God was the true giver of good fortune, it may well be that this story sprang from a confused memory of such teaching.
The most striking story from these early biographies describes Patrick as lighting the first Paschal fire in Ireland. As an account, it is full of high drama. We are told that the High-King Laoghaire had the custom of lighting a fire at the royal centre of Tara on a certain night and that nobody else should kindle theirs before he did so. Patrick had come to the hill of Slane nearby, however, and when Laoghaire saw a fire lighting there he was outraged and ordered that the transgressor appear before him. Then Patrick came to Tara as a great Christian hero, and the High-King and all the royal forces were confounded by his miraculous power.
Several great contests between Patrick and the pagan druids are described, contests in which dramatic changes of climate and environment are brought about by magic and miracles. The saint, of course, triumphs in all of these tussles, which occur in the presence of the High-King at Tara and of all the royal court. The substance of these narratives was borrowed from passages in Christian literature, and it is clear that Patrick was being portrayed as a kind of new Moses triumphing over the Irish potentates, who have all the marks of the Pharaoh and other Biblical tyrants. Indeed, just as Moses caused water to spring from rock at a stroke of his staff, so Patrick is said to have caused holy wells to spring up at different places so as to facilitate the baptism of his converts.
The earliest biographies described the mission of Patrick as taking place in the northern half of the country, but around the 9th century a third account of him was written which extended his mission to the south. As well as the bishopric at Armagh, it was further claimed that he founded the bishopric at Cashel, which rivalled the former in prestige. There is little doubt but that all such accounts of his activities were closely connected with the claims and counter-claims of the two leading power-groups of the period, the U� N�ill dynasty in the north and the Eoghanacht dynasty in the south.
In the 9th century literature we also find the beginning of a celebrated tradition concerning St Patrick. This claims that he spent forty days and nights fasting on top of the mountain of Croagh Patrick in Co. Mayo, and that God became worried lest he might die and thereby leave his mission unaccomplished. The Supreme Being therefore asked him to abandon his fast, but Patrick would only do so on three conditions - that the Irish people would not live permanently under oppression, that the country would be submerged seven years before the end of the world and so be spared the final devastation, and that Patrick himself would be allowed to judge all the Irish people on the Last Day. This tradition, which has Patrick as the special champion of the Irish, persisted down through the centuries and gave consolation to the people in times of misery and distress.
The best-known of all traditions concerning the saint seems not to have originated until the 11th century, when it first appears in biographies of him. This is the belief that he banished the snakes from Ireland. The indications are that this idea was suggested by the many accounts of how the saint banished the 'demons of paganism', and that it was borrowed specifically from a similar motif in the biography of St Honoratus, founder of the island-monastery of L�rins in France where Patrick is said to have studied. The fact that there were no snakes in Ireland was well known from antiquity, and indeed was referred to by the Graeco- Roman writer Solinus two hundred years before Patrick was born.
Later still is the association of the shamrock with him. It was customary in Ireland to use the shamrock as an aperitif, and the placing of some sprigs of it in a toast was no doubt the origin of 'drowning the shamrock on the feast day' of the saint. The actual wearing of the shamrock as a badge on St Patrick's Day is hardly more than a few centuries old, but old enough for some creative mind to notice that its trefoil stem offered a neat parallel to the Christian mystery of the Trinity. Thus we are told that Patrick, being exasperated in his efforts to impress this doctrine on his Irish audience, stooped down and picked up the shamrock, explaining that just as three leaves can spring from one stem so also there are three persons in one God.
The Irish people, however, have not confined their fascination with St Patrick to environmental and theological legends. Down through the centuries they have invented many other stories of a curious and sometimes humorous nature. He is said, for instance, to have met survivors of the epical heroes of old Irish tradition, the Fianna, and to have obtained baptism posthumously for their fellows. It is also claimed that he blessed and cursed various parts of the country, depending on the preferences of the storytellers, and that he ordered that tavern-keepers should always give extra value for money on the day of his feast!
So Patrick, the slave-boy forcibly brought here from abroad, has become to many generations of Irish people the epitome of all that they considered best in their culture - a courageous and protective figure, proficient in miracles, scrupulous in teaching, but full of human kindness and with his own puckish sense of humour.
St Patrick's Day has always had a special meaning for the Irish. The national holiday, which falls on March 17, is an occasion of great celebration not only for the native Irish themselves but also for many- thousands of people of Irish background throughout the world. While the principal parade in Ireland is in Dublin, many cities and towns throughout the country hold parades. Parades and marching band competitions have become the order of the day, and participants come from all over the United States, Canada, Britain and Continental Europe, to join in the festivities. Word of the fun has spread to such an extent that nowadays the period of celebration has increased to a week.
St Patrick kills Druids...
Let us see what the biographers of St. Patrick have to relate about the Druids.
A work published at St. Omer, in 1625, by John Heigham, has this story:--"One day as the Saint sayd masse in the sayd church, a sacrilegious magitian, the child of perdition, Stood without, and with a rodd put in at the window, cast down the chalice, and shed the holy sacrament, but God without delay severely punished so wicked a sacrilege, for
p. 28
the earth opening his mouth after a most strange manner devoured the magitian, who descended alive downe to hell."
Again:--"A certain magitian that was in high favour with the King, and whome the King honoured as a god opposed himself against S. Patricke, even in the same kin that Simon Magus resisted the apostle S. Peter; the miserable wretch being elevated in the ayre by the ministery of Devils, the King and the people looked after him as if he were to scale the heavens, but the glorious Saint, with the force of his fervent prayers, cast him downe unto the ground where dashing his head against a hard flint, he r�dred up his wicked soule as a pray to the infernnall Fiendes."
The Triptartite Life of St. Patrick relates:--"Laeghaire MacNeill possessed Druids and enchanters, who used to foretell through their Druidism and through their paganism what was in the future for them." Coming to certain town, the Saint, according to history, "found Druids at that place who denied the Virginity of Mary. Patrick blessed the ground, and it swallowed up the Druids."
The book of 1625 is the authority for another story:--"Two magitians with their magicall charmes overcast all the region with a horrible darkness for the space of three dayes, hoping by that meanes to debar his (Patrick's enterance into the country." Again:--"Nine magitians conspired the Saint's death, and to have the more free accesse to him, they counterfeited thēselves to be monks putting on religious weeds; the Saint, by divine information, knew thē to be wolves wraped in sheeps cloathing; making, therefore, the signe of the crosse against the childrē of Satan, behould fire descended from Heaven and consumed them all nine." He is also reported to hay caused the death of 12,000 idolaters at Tara.
St. Patrick contended with the Druids before King
p. 29
Laeghaire at Tara. One, Lochra, hardened the King's heart against the preaching; so "the Saint prayed that he might be lifted out and die, even as St. Peter had obtained the death of Simon Magus. In an instant Lochra was raised up in the air, and died, falling on a stone." This Lochra had, it is said, previously foretold the Saint's visit:--
"A Tailcenn (baldhead) will come over the raging sea,
With his perforated garments, his crook-headed staff,
With his table (altar) at the east end of his house,
And all the people will answer--'Amen! Amen!"
The authoress of Ireland, the Ur of the Chaldees, ventured to write:--"When the Apostle of Ireland went there, the people believed him, for he taught no new doctrine." She thought Druidism not very unlike Christianity. Dr. O'Donovan, upon the Four Masters, observes:--"Nothing is clearer than that Patrick engrafted Christianity on the pagan superstitions with so much skill that he won the people over to the Christian religion before they understood the exact difference between the two systems of beliefs; and much of this half pagan, half Christian religion will be found, not only in the Irish stories of the Middle Ages, but in the superstitions of the peasantry of the present day." Todd sees that worldly wisdom in "dedicating to a Saint the pillar-stone, or sacred fountain."
It is not necessary to discuss the question as to the individual Saint himself, around which so much controversy has raged. They who read theology between the lines of old Irish history may be induced to doubt whether such a person ever existed, or if he were but a Druid himself, such being the obscurity of old literature.
St. Bridget's early career was associated with the Druids. A miracle she wrought in the production of butter caused her Druidical master to become a Christian.
p. 30
Colgan contended that St. Patrick, by "continually warring with Druids, exposed his body to a thousand kinds of deaths." In The Guardsman's Cry of St. Patric, which declares "Patric made this hymn," we are informed that it was "against incantations of false prophets, against black laws of hereticians, against surroundings of idolism, against spells of women, and of smiths, and of Druids."
The Annals of the Kingdom of Ireland by the Four Masters mentions a number of stories relative to Irish Druids, then believed to have once ruled Erin. St. Patrick was a youthful slave to Milcho, a Druidical priest. Gradwell's Succat, therefore, says, "He must often have practised heathenish rites in the presence of his household, and thus excited the horror of his Christian slave."
Scoto-Irish Druids.
St. Columba, the Culdee, was much the same as St. Patrick in his mission work, and his contests with Druids. He changed water into wine, stilled a storm, purified wells, brought down rain, changed winds, drove the devil out of a milk-pail, and raised the dead to life. All that tradition acknowledged as miraculous in the Druids was attributed equally to Columba as to Patrick.
Adamnan of Iona tells some strange stories of his master. One tale concerns Brochan the Druid. "On a certain day, Brochan, while conversing with the Saint, said to him, 'Tell me, Columba, when do you propose to set sail?' To which the Saint replied, 'I intend to begin my voyage after three days, if God permits me, and preserves my life.' Brochan then said, 'You will not be able, for I will make the winds unfavourable to your voyage, and I will create a great darkness over the sea."' The wind rose, and the
p. 31
darkness came. But the Saint put off, and "the vessel ran against the wind with extraordinary speed, to the wonder of the large crowd."
The Saint wanted the Druid to release an Irish female captive, which he declined to do. But, says Adamnan, "an angel sent from heaven, striking him severely, has broken in pieces the glass cup which he held in his hand, and from which he was in the act of drinking, and he himself is left half dead." Then he consented to free the Irish girl, and Columba cured him of the wound.
Even if only one claim of murder is true = then Patrick could not be a saint.

Author's Note: This is a sequel to Cave, the oneshot I posted on Valentine's Day. That fic was never intended to be more than a vignette, but I loved the bleakness and gravity of that version of the Buffyverse, and it just wouldn't leave me alone. I can easily see these becoming a series, or perhaps even a novel. If you'd be interested in reading more of them, please review, email, or PM me and let me know.
Also, if you haven't read Cave, you probably should in order to understand what's happening here.
Finally, this is dedicated to Zelda, my wonderful friend and beta, for both giving me this idea and (on a completely unrelated note) letting me sleep on her dorm room floor all weekend.
She starts feeling the presence again just after what she thinks ought to have been her thirty-fifth birthday.
It's been snowing for weeks. She's an odd kind of sick, painfully weak all the time, and for the first time in more than a decade she can't find the energy even to run away.
When she looks in the mirror her gaunt pale reflection stares empty-eyed back, too young and too old for her age all at once. She's started hurting herself, mostly accidentally, her superior strength at last betraying her.
No one dared knock on her door the morning of her birthday, though she overhead Willow and Dawn through the paper-thin walls, talking as though she wasn't in the room next door, or wasn't able to comprehend.
Her body is trying to die, they think, the demon essence that made her so powerful finally poisoning the mortal parts of her cells. Punishment for being history's oldest Slayer. The Hellmouth's last guardian.
Sometimes at night she wakes up with her skin on fire. Pain sears up and down every inch of her, wave upon wave until she hopes that Dawn and Willow are right, that she really won't wake up in the morning.
Her head is going to implode, throbbing skull collapsing in on itself.
Too hot. No space. Out of time,
When she wakes up from what feels like a coma, someone has opened the window and fluffy little snowflakes are piling up on the floor.
She manages to sit up far enough to see the deadbolt on her door. Still locked. She wonders for a moment whether Willow has used her magic to get in unnoticed.
She remembers Dawn's voice from what might have been the morning before.
"We can't just let her stay locked up in there all the time. She's dying. We have to get help."
"I'm working on it, Dawn." Willow never uses pet names anymore. They are all far too grown up for that. "But it isn't that simple. You know that we have other things to worry about, things that have to come first."
"Okay, I know that. But at least let's get her to open the door. I don't want to discover my sister's rotting corpse because of the smell coming through the keyhole!"
But they haven't done anything about it yet.
Buffy collapses back into bed, telling herself she doesn't care.
The longer she spends in bed, the more often she finds herself thinking about the crater into which her life has sunk. Most of the time she wonders why she fought so damn hard to jump onto that bus. She knew the moment the rumbling started that life as they had known it was over.
The too-bright light from the amulet blew the shadows of her apathy into wide-open oblivion. She'd been living a lie, forcing herself through the motions even after telling everyone that she'd managed to get better.
She knows now, because of Andrew, that Spike is alive. She knows that he was brought back, fought back, and didn't come looking for her. She's heard that he still prowls the ruins of what used to be Los Angeles. Some say he saves people, and some say he kills them. She suspects, knowing Spike, that it's a little bit of both. He isn't coming after her, not ever.
Deep down, she is glad.
She lies in bed and stares at the ceiling and remembers all the shallow things she used to think she couldn't live without. Her mother's vases and furniture, still not gotten rid of. Money, and weapons, and shards of glass that used to be windows she always insisted upon replacing. The photo of her and Willow and Xander, before they all started looking old and worn. Makeup and nailpolish and piles of clothes and shoes. Somewhere, under tons of dirt and rubble, disturbed by well-meaning men in Hazmat suits, a love-worn stuffed pig named Mr. Gordo.
Eventually, the objects turn into swirls of color that dance on the backs of her eyelids. Dirt covers her mouth and nose, and she falls back into the depths of fever dreams.
It might be days, or weeks, or months, even, but they finally do remove the door from its hinges. Sometimes Xander comes and sits by her bedside, though she gets the feeling he doesn't want to be there.
She knows, somehow, that they view her sickness as a betrayal. She walked out of her own house when they told her she wasn't welcome there. The woman who eventually walked back in was well on her way to being someone else entirely.
"You'll get better," he says sometimes, but even Xander has finally lost his humor. He never uses endearments either, at least not with her. "You're the strongest person I know."
Were, thinks Buffy. Not so much anymore.
"No I won't." Her voice is soft and strangely husky. She doesn't talk much anymore. "It's okay. You don't have to lie to me, Xander."
His face falls, and for a moment she thinks there is malice in his one good eye. He's become hard to read lately. Not that she tries much anymore.
She's started to drown late at night, in sweat that slicks her skin and soaks her thin military sheets. The metallic taste of blood fills her mouth when she coughs, and sometimes she stares at it on her fingers, thinking that it is beautiful.
When the fits reach their worst she can only shiver convulsively, knees drawn up to her chest, teeth chattering so hard she can barely open her mouth to cough. Sometimes she thinks her jaw will shatter.
Always, when she's decided that death isn't quite as scary as before, even though she knows she won't end up in Heaven this time, someone is there to brush sweat-soaked hair from her eyes. Gentle hands help her to sit up, and hold a basin for her to spit black-tinted blood into. The old familiar sense of comfort settles over her even as she wonders whether there will be a world for her to wake up to in the morning, reminding her of the days when she was just learning to be a Slayer.
She's certain it isn't anyone from the compound.
Nobody there loves her anymore.
She's started dreaming more often than not, and she's beginning to wonder whether they're hallucinations or visions.
Something is calling her.
Something dark and all-encompassing that she thinks just might be her own mortality. It's been months they've all been waiting for her to die.
"Something's keeping her here," Dawn echoes Buffy's thoughts, not daring to let one modicum of hope creep into her voice. "Physically, she might as well be dead already."
"I can't imagine she's trying to stay alive," says Willow. "She isn't a fighter anymore. She hasn't been for a long time."
Buffy closes her eyes and dreams of emerald hills.
Willow is right. She wishes she knew.
"Ireland," she says one morning when Willow and Xander and Dawn are gathered around her bed. She woke up with the word on her lips, desperation coursing through her fever-ridden body. "I have to get to Ireland."
"Buffy, there's no way," says Dawn immediately. Willow's brow pinches, and she looks at the floor. There is shame for them, shame in seeing their once-leader so far diminished that she is raving like a lunatic about traveling cross-country when she barely has the strength to get out of bed on her own.
"Find one," she insists, some of the old passion creeping back into her voice for the first time in more than a decade.
"Buffy, you know we would if we could." Willow's voice has gotten very high and fast, the way it does when she's lying badly. "But you're not strong enough, and besides, it's not safe."
There is a war going on, she knows. Maybe she's even responsible, by some perverted form of responsibility. She is weak, and it's making everyone around her weak as well. Besides, there are secrets, secrets she should have kept safe. She can't quite remember if she has.
She can't quite care if she hasn't.
"I know," says Buffy, and curls up shivering under the covers. Only this time, for the first time in months, it is mostly an act.
It's summer the day she gets on the dingy little plane, and warm. She's purchased her ticket using one of the many aliases that once were for the most dangerous undercover work only. She tells herself that this mission is no different. Something is calling her, she's convinced.
The weather is turbulent, the ride bumpy, and she finds herself covered in cold fever sweat the entire way. Other passengers glance furtively at her and shrink as far away in their seats as possible. The part of her that was created to protect them wants to say don't worry, that she isn't contagious.
The part of her that's learned love is too big a risk feels vindicated by their fear.
Back at the compound, the others will wake up to find her gone. She wonders whether they will look for her, or simply let her go.
The dingy little bed and breakfast is one of the few buildings still standing on the street full of rubble. There is a haze in the air, and it's getting dark out though it's only late afternoon. There's a chemical scent to everything around her, reminding her that she's in a war zone. It's nothing new.
But everyone's world is a war zone now, not just hers.
Stepping into the room with dead plants on the windowsill she's been dreaming of for a week, she's nearly overcome by a fresh coughing fit. The adrenaline that's managed to get her this far fades, and her knees fold under her.
She's not the least bit surprised to wake up with him standing over her. He's carried her to the bed and covered her with threadbare blankets, and she wonders how he got inside because it was daylight when she collapsed. His hands are at his waist, fingers steepled, and there is a look of stillness about him that makes her think he's been watching her sleep for a very long time.
"Angel," she says, her voice damaged and thin from coughing. It sounds alien in her own ears as it echoes off the bare walls and floor. "You brought me here."
"Yes." He nods almost imperceptibly, and she thinks, bizarrely, that he must be stealing her lucidity. They seem to feed off the same power, lately, alternately weak and strong, but never both at the same time.
"Why?" She knows that he's been there for months now, his hands at her back in the middle of the night. She's known all along, but not dared believe.
"Your birthday." He comes closer, and sits on the edge of the bed, moving with the fluidity of a shadow. "You didn't come this year. I knew something was wrong."
"I think I'm dying," she says softly. It's the first time she's admitted it aloud. "I think it's all finally killing me."
"Do you want to die?"
His hand moves to brace her weight as she struggles to sit up, and suddenly she can't stop moving until her arms are around his neck. He crushes her against him, lending her the strength she no longer has. The strange stillness he exudes engulfs her, and she lets her head rest against his shoulder, hot tears streaming down her cheeks.
"No," she whispers. It's the first thing she's felt in fifteen years.
It is a start.

The Falling Man, a photo of a person falling from the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:41 am on 9/11, was taken by AP photographer Richard Drew.
While the image gives the impression he's falling straight down, the sequence shows him tumbling through the air. Some 200 people jumped to their deaths from the World Trade Center, forced out by fire, smoke or despair.
The Falling Man was printed in the New York Times three days after the attack. The public response was so negative that it was not printed again for six years.
Since then, it has been the topic of articles, television shows and a documentary.
The man is generally believed to be Jonathan Briley, a restaurant sound engineer. An asthmatic, he was likely driven to his death by the smoke. His brother was a member of the disco group, Village People.
Theologian Mark D. Thompson called it "perhaps the most powerful image of despair at the beginning of the twenty-first century."

Historical instruments go under the hammer at auction
Historic musical instruments costing more than half a million pounds are to go under the hammer at an auction like no other in Newbury. The pieces are being sold by Finchcocks Museum in Goudhurst near Tunbridge Wells, which closed at the end of last year. Tom Savvides has been to see what's on offer, ahead of the big sale next month.
Finchcocks musical museum to close
They've been used by royalty and have featured in costume dramas but some instruments, dating back hundreds of years, are to be auctioned off.

Music fans arrive for Reading Festival
It's that time again - Reading Festival is back for 2015 and more than 90,000 people are expected in Reading over the weekend. Campers started to arrive at the site in Richfield Avenue on Wednesday although the vast majority of weekend ticket holders joined to queue on Thursday ahead of the three days of live music.
Wilderness is 'the new breed of festival'
It's that time of year again - the festival season is upon us. And if you picture muddy fields, shabby tents and the great unwashed, you might be surprised to find a new breed of festivals catering to the more genteel side of things.
This weekend marks the fifth Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire. And if you fancy sherry tasting, feasts, and clean toilets along with the music, this one's for you. Sam Holder has been along to see the preparations.
Music lessons with a difference!
