Hey.

[Rosaries and Rings]

This will probably never get answered, but there is something I wanted to voice.

This place and these people got me through high school and part of college.
Thank you so much for being there for me and making me ask myself some really hard questions.

I will never forget the voices here, even if I didn't get to meet the people.
Everyone...thank you, so much.

I don't know if I will ever join Opie's group permanently. I'd be honored. For the time being, I am working on making a better life for myself.

(bows deeply, kneeling and bringing her head to the floor)
May the Force be with you, always.

PS - Opie, I know you may see this. This is long past due (due as of 10/27/2009) but Creyr Heron says hello, if you remember him. He's the leader of the AODA, one of the neodruid movements, and posted around on a few Jedi groups in 2001/2002.

That is one of the things I felt the Jedi Community always missed - the beautiful act of just helping people in life and get through life. And unfortunately is something that I think get lost in the the whole title chase.

But I think the sentiment from the entire Guild would be the same - It was a pleasure. And you helped as much as you received help. It was a give and take and we all were better for the experience.

Continue to take care of yourself and enjoy life. It is important. =) And definitely good to hear you are doing well.

And you are always welcome to hang out at the Jedi Foundation. 3nodding

Every time I come on Gaia, which isn't as often as I used to, I always check to see if by some miracle the Order revived itself. I'm sad to see it hasn't. I remember when Costello was teaching me and all of the sudden the lessons stopped. I really do miss the Order.

Unfortunately a revival would require the collective efforts of at least three or four people at the same time. And there just isn't that steady focus right now. The original people involved have grown in life and have move forward. A good thing.

This shouldn't take away from the value of what was and can be offered here. I miss Costello as well - wish I could get a hold of him, I owe him an apology and would love to catch up with him.

I'll post up some introductory lessons in case any stumbles back across here. Whether new or veteran, they can explore the lessons and ideals of the Jedi Path. This way even if no revival ever happens there will be something for people to explore without searching through the entire forum. And if they like that, then they will be willing to search the forum looking for more gems.

In the end it is important to take what you can from a place such as this and use it to move forward. To grow and improve and use it as a stepping stone to reach your own dreams and goals. Enjoy the Journey...
