the obligatory introduction post

[undyedyarnpire]

As an introduction, so you get the idea where I come from creatively, there is a song that was quoted in Fire In the Mist by Holly Lisle,
(Available on the publisher's website, legally)
I am only quoting my favorite verse and the chorus:

For the moment

I rejoice,

Whatever the

Moment brings.

Cry for sorrow,

Laugh for joy for—

Sometimes I have sunshine.
 

Lady shears and

Lady cards;

Lady spins and

Lady dyes.

Lady weaves our

Lives to cloth and

Lady sends the sunshine.

I read that when the book was new, in 1992, and it is probably the single-most mentally sticky thing I have ever read. It was not until I began spinning in 2007 that I had the ability to see the sunshine in my life. Not that spinning itself caused this, there were a number of other factors, but it suits my preferences to do something handy when times are difficult.
