It seems Undyne's armor suit makes it difficult to traverse Hotland. Unfortunatly you had to abuse that fact to end the battle with her peacefully.

Yet you have to come back, as Papyrus called you to "hang out" with Undyne. Hopefully he can convince her that you are not worth being killed on the spot.

In her house you found out that her suit is not just mechanized armour, it allows her to walk. Whatever experiments the royal scientist had to coduct on Undyne led to her barely being able to walk without aid.

Even in her weakened state you don't take the apportunity to harm, just following Undynes plan instead. Undyne sees that you are here to come to a peaceful solution even when there is no threat present.

Even if she knows that your soul is one of the keys to freedom, she'll leave your soul to somebody else. Perhaps if you find nother way, she will be on your side.

Battle of Gettysburg - Day 1

July 1

8:00 AM

Buford's Cavalry Defend Gettysburg

Taking cover behind low stone walls and fences, the cavalry troopers watched as the enemy began to deploy before them. There were two brigades of rebel infantry in front of them, while a whole corps lay further west. Meanwhile, there were only two brigades of cavalry troops defending the ridges west of the town of Gettysburg. The odds were clearly against them. However, they must hold. Good ground lay south of Gettysburg, ground that they must deny to the enemy. They knew that if they failed, the enemy would capture and fortify that ground and the Army of the Potomac will be forced to make devastating assaults to dislodge them.

By June 1863 the American Civil War had been raging for three years. In hopes of ending the war, and bringing away from his war-torn state of Virginia, General Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, planned to invade Northern territory. His plan was to threaten Washington and prominent Northern cities such as Boston and Harrisburg. By doing this, the Northern population may urge the Lincoln government for peace.

In early June the Army of Northern Virginia began marching out of their camps near Fredericksburg, moving north through the Shenandoah Valley, through Maryland, and emerging at Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the Union Army of the Potomac, noticing their foes dissapearance, began chasing after them.

Lee had hoped that he would have enough time to maneuver around Pennsylvania before the Army of the Potomac arrived. However, Union forces were moving uncharacteristically fast. But Lee did not know this. His main cavalry force, under General J.E.B. Stuart, was missing and had not yet reported to him. Cavalry were the eyes of the army and without Stuart the Army of Northern Virginia was essentially blind.

With the army blind and corps scattered all over Pennsylvania, Lee, on June 29, gave orders to all corps commanders, telling them not to engage in major combat until the army was massed together. He feared that once the larger Union force arrived, they would be attacked piecemeal and defeated. Beacause of that he gave orders for all corps to converge on Cashtown.

On June 30, the Confederate Third Corps was encamped near Cashtown. Wanting to scout the nearby area, Brigadier General Pettigrew's brigade moved east from Cashtown and moved towards the town of Gettysburg. At the the town, the brigade noted Union cavalry in the area. Pettigrew reported this to his division commander, Major General Heth. However, Heth did not believe that Union cavalry would be this far north so fast. He thought it was merely militia, not cavalry. However, just to confirm it, he decided to coduct a reconnaisssance in force the next day.

Little did Heth know, Pettigrew was right. What the latter has saw was the 1st Division of the Army of the Potomac's Cavalry Corps. Under the command of Brigadier General John Buford, they had sighted campfires in the Gettysburg direction and decided to follow it. Arriving at Gettysburg, they managed spot Pettigrew's brigade. Further scouting of the area told Buford that the Confederate Third Corps was operating in the area.

Realizing the importance of Gettysburg, as the town was a major road junction connecting major of areas of Pennsylvania, Buford decided to hold on to the town in order to deny it to the enemy. Sending word to the newly appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac, Major General George Meade, Buford then dismounted and deployed his brigade on the heights west of town, with the main defensive line being along McPherson's ridge. Buford wanted to prevent the Confederates from capturing the vital high ground south of town. However, with only two brigades of 2,900 cavalry troopers against the Third Cops composed of 23,000 troops, he would to fight like hell to accomplish his objective.

On the morning of July 1, Heth's reconnaissance in force was conducted by Archer's brigade, which marched eastward, along the Chambersburg Pike, towards Gettysburg. They soon encountered Buford's picket line, which conducted a fighting retreat back towards Gettysburg.

By 8:00 in the morning Archer's brigade reached Herr's ridge, as the skirmishing cavalry troops retreated back to McPherson's ridge. Realizing that he was indeed fighting cavalry, Heth deployed two of his brigades to the line. Archer's brigade was to deploy south of the Chamberburg Pike, while Davis' brigade deployed on the northern end. Both were to attack eastward and capture McPherson's ridge.

At 10:15 both brigades moved against Buford's forces. The cavalry troopers holding McPherson's ridge were from Gamble's brigade. Buford's cavalry troopers managed to hold the line, but the attacks were fierce. At some points, the Union lines were begining to buckle. Desperately, Buford sent out couriers, asking for any infantry corps to come and aid them.

Luckily for Buford, the nearest corps was I Corps, under the command of the brilliant Major General John Reynolds. Upon recieving Buford's messages, Reynold's ordered his corps to move quickly north to Gettysburg. With him also being the commander of the left wing of the Army of the Potomac, he also sent word for the two other corps under his command, III Corps and XI Corps, to converge on Gettysburg.

However, as I Corps was moving as fast as it could to Gettysburg, Buford's cavalry division was fighting for its life.

----------------------------------------

Featuring @temper-temper @randomgurustuffs and @askpokeeosin as members of the 8th New York Volunteer Cavalry Regiment. The 8th New York were part a part of Gamble's brigade and held the left flank of McPherson's ridge. All three are armed with Sharps carbrines, which were one of the most common breechloading carbines assigned to the cavalry. With these breechloaders, cavalry troops were able to reload their weapons faster than the muzzleloading rifles carried by infantry troops.

Behind them is the Lutheran Seminary, located at Seminary ridge. The cupola atop the Seminary was used by Buford as an observation post.

@mifletset

There was a rogue soldier who did it, and was trialed and relieved of duty. It was not IDF policy.

It was literally videos of angry soldiers pushing HAMAS bodies around after the onslaught of the 7th, and cursing*, or expressing glee at fighting and putting down HAMAS combatants later on during fights.

It is also noteworthy the only source of the story in Haaretz, which is the most far left news media outlet in Israel, but if it was worse than it sounds, other news media would have picked up on it aswell.

Here is the link, but it in Hebrew and paywalled, so.

https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/security/2024-02-04/ty-article/.premium/0000018d-7042-dd6e-a98d-f462d6a00000

*People don't realize that, there were piles upon piles of dead terrorists after IDF and other weapons carrying personnel in Israel made clear of the Kibbutzim and cities along the border with Gaza after the 7th and 8th.

Whole units were tasked with just sifting through the carnage to find Israelis and bring them to burial.

The HAMAS corpses were piled aside with tractors.

Yes, and don't @ me about disrespect, this is exactly how you should treat literal Nazis who come to kill you.

I have zero sympathy for HAMAS operatives and their ilk who breached the border to murder, maim, torture and rape and burn. Zero.

Eventually the Telegram channel was shut and the source was relieved of duty, for it was "against regulations, anti democratic and did not follow IDF policy and Purity of Arms code of coduct" and other reasons.

So, if anyone here wants to make a point that soldiers in am army can present bad behavior, be my guest, there are 200 armies to choose from.

OP seeks to paint IDF as inclusively bad (tm). That's the whole story. The fact it was shut down, reprimanded, and acknowledged, means, IDF takes seriously such violations, and treats them accordingly.

You have zero ground to say the same about say, HAMAS.

The whole objective of this post is to shift focus and make IDF look exceptionally worse. This is thw same when Israel vlbrough the sexual crimes perpetrated by HAMAS on the 7th allegations to the UN, the HAMAS supporters immediately jumped up with "IDF does this too!" allegations, to shift focus and minimize the importance and impact of Israeli allegations against HAMAS.

There is no symmetry here, and there never will be. OP, just like the UN case I mentioned here, are trying to paint a false sense of symmetry. But there is just none to speak of: HAMAS raped as A POLICY. Allegations of sexual assault of Palestinians by IDF are so scarce and barely hild water, and the 2-3 cases that did turned out to be true, the soldiers were trialed and relieved of duty.

OP seeks to paint IDF as worse than HAMAS on the counts of footage of atrocities. That's the bottom line.

And unless you are a denier of facts, you know EXACTLY what type of footage rolled over social media on the 7th.

Mindful Meditation The researcher completing the proposed mixed qualatative/quantative study will systematically review credible literature, including published studies, and coduct field work, implemeting a survey to 30 -- 50 participants (cancer and/or cardiac patients), diagnosed with cancer to determine effects of mindulness meditation on functional mobility of COPD patients. The researcher will conduct the research for the proposed literature review online, utilizing MEDLINE, Questia, HighBeam, along with other credible online Web sites to assess published articles, reports, and studies in the English language, primarily between January 2004 and May 2009, where the primary focus includes mindulness meditation. Exceptions precluding these dates will be allocated, only to include vital information. Findings: The proposed study will report findings, determined from analyzing researched literature, combined with findings from data retrieved from the questionnaire the researcher conducts with the determined participants/patients. Conclusion: The researcher expects the literature, along with findings from the survey of participants/patients to confirm positive effects on functional mobility of COPD patients may evolve from regular practice of mindulness meditation. EFFECTS OF MINDFULNESS MEDITATION ON FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY OF COPD PATIENTS "The WHO predicts (COPD) will be the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2030" ("Scientists resurrect…," 2008). CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) denotes numerous conditions, which include but may not be limited to chronic bronchitis and emphysema. "COPD leads to damaged airways in the lungs, causing them to become narrower and making it harder for air to get in and out of the lungs." As the quote introducing the proposed study notes, COPD merits concern as it may become the third primary cause of global deaths within the next 21 years, according to the pressrelease, "Scientists resurrect forgotten Everest research to develop breakthrough medical device; closed circuit breathing device could transform the lives of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease." In regard to this contemporary/future "threat," the proposed mixed qualatative/quantative study will explore effects of mindfulness meditation on functional mobility of copd patients. Mindfulness meditation, the researcher asserts, proffers one potentially positive counter to help COPD patients cope with the disease. During its quest to discover effects of mindfulness meditation on functional mobility of copd patients, the proposed study, which will report findings, determined from analyzing researched literature, combined with findings from data retrieved from the questionnaire the researcher conducts with the determined participants/patients, will examine a number of components relating to COPD, including cancer and cardiac diseases. Leslie Scrivener (2008), a physician and cancer survivor, specifically stresses that psychological stress can produce the same effects as bad eating habits, and promote cancer. According to Scrivener, "Cancer cells are in all of us, but not all of us get cancer, and three in four survive the disease" (Schreiber, 2008, ¶ 17). While investigating why certain individuals survive cancer, Schreiber found that a positive mental outlook, which links to reduced stress, may help reduce tissue inflammation which simulates the growth of tumours which in turn attack surrounding tissue. Repeated studies concur that mindfulness meditation, a primarey focus to be explored by the propsed study, increases survival rates for cancer patients, and also lowers blood pressure better than some traditinally prescribed drugs. Even 10 minutes a day of mindfulness meditation may benefit an individual, when regularly practiced, Susan Hartman Brenizer (2008) reports in "20 ways to inoculate against stress." "Meditation goes mainstream: This ancient technique can reduce stress that contributes to many diseases -- and may even extend your life (2006)," additionally reports that a May 2005 study in the American Journal of Cardiology purports that individuals who meditate have a 23% reduction in overall death. This study confirmed a 49% reduction in death from cancer and a 30% reduction in death from cardiovascular disease. In addition, the resports notes: "There's even some evidence meditation can help you live longer" ("Meditation goes mainstream…," ¶ 2). A number of other contemporary studies concur that meditation influences the mind and body and also find that meditation provides medical benefits as studies confirm it may prevent, slow, and/or manage a numerous diseases. Rationale for Study The prediction that COPD will constitute the third primary cause of death in the world, by 2030 ("Scientists resurrect…," 2008) contributes to the rationale for the proposed study. Consequently, as more individuals and/or family members face challenges of COPD, the need will increase for effective ways to counter negative affects accompanying this diseaase. Therefore, the proposed study will examine the effects of mindfulness meditation on the functional mobility of these COPD patients. Hypothesis The researcher developed the following hypothesis for the proposed study: When COPD patients regularly practice mindfulness meditation, then the functional mobility of these COPD patients will improve. The primary research quesiont the proposed study willaddress, queries: How does mindfulness meditation affect the functional mobility of COPD patients? Sub-questions to support the primary reserch question include: 1. What is mindfulness meditation? 2. What are some of the primary challenges COPD patients encounter in regard to funcitonal mobility? 3. What findings support the contention that mindfulness meditation may proffer positve benefit for COPD and/or other patients? 1.2: Study Area Infomartional components of the proposed study will not be bound by any particular geogrpahic location(s), albeit, the location for the field study which includes participants/patients will an area located within a 50-mile radius of the researcher's home base. 1.3: Study Structure Chapters following CHAPTER I, the INTRODUCTION for the prpoposed study will include: CHAPTER II: Literature Review CHAPTERI II: Methodology CHAPTER IV: Analysis CHAPTER V: Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations CHAPTER II: Literature Review During the development of the literature review, the researcher expects to access more than 50 credible sources to secure relevant literature and data. This information, will consequently, along with data retrieved from participants, be analyzed to determine whether the hypothesis for this study will be deemed valid or null and void. The researcher plans to obtain information through Questia, an online library, as well as Highbeam, another subscription research base, along with numerous other credible Web sites; to include books; scholarly journals; magazine articles; newspaper articles; etc. Along with purposefully searching through a myraid of acquired resources to secure answers for the designated research questions, the researcher will investigated the three prominent themes which evolved from the research questions. CHAPTERI II: Methodology For the methodology of the proposed study, the researcher will conduct the research for the proposed literature review online, utilizing MEDLINE, Questia, HighBeam, along with other credible online Web sites to assess published articles, reports, and studies in the English language, primarily between January 2004 and May 2009, where the primary focus includes mindulness meditation. Exceptions precluding these dates will be allocated, only to include vital information. CHAPTER IV: Analysis The fourth chapter of the proposed study, the Analysis, will relate findings from the investigation of information/data secured during the literature review, as well as, from survey results provided by the participants/patients who complegte th questionnare the researche implements. CHAPTER V: Discussion, Conclusions and Recommendations The fifth/final chapter will discuss components covered in/by the proposed study, along with the determination of the proposed hypothesis. Conclusions regarding the proposed study, along with recommendations for future study efforts will also be included in the final chapter of the proposed study. 1.4: Aim and Objectives Aim The primary aim for the propsed study will be to complete the proposed mixed qualatative/quantative study by systematically reviewing credible literature, including published studies, and coducting field work, implemeting a survey to 30 -- 50 participants (cancer and/or cardiac patients), diagnosed with cancer to determine effects of mindulness meditation on functional mobility of COPD patients. Objectives Objective 1 To conduct a thorough literature review on the subject of mindulness meditation, as well as other key components contributing to the proposed study, including, but not limited to COPD; functional mobility; stress. Objective 2 To obtain or develop an appropriate questionnaire to utilize in survey of participants/patients diagnosed with COPD. Objective 3 To implement survey of participants/patients diagnosed with COPD. Objective 4 Utilize garner information/data from literature review and survey of participants/patients diagnosed with COPD for analysis to determine the validity of the hypothesis created for the proposed study. During the next chapter of the proposed study, the Literature Review, the researcher presents a synopsis of relevant literature regarding effects of mindfulness meditation on functional mobility of patients with COPD, a disease threateningto become the third leading cause of death in the world within the next 29 years ("Scientists resurrect…," 2008). CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW "Mindfulness is a way to pay attention and cultivate self-awareness. The way I describe it, is paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, nonjudgmentally. That's hard to do, although it sounds easy - Dr. Kabat-Zinn (Kabat-Zinn, as cited in Danze, 2005, ¶ 6). 2.1: Introduction The proposed study's literature review will be arranged in a thematic order. The following themes evolved from the three sub-questions noted earlier in this proposal. 1. Mindfulness Meditation 2. COPD Patients' Funcitonal Mobility Challenges 3. Support For Mindfulness Meditation's Benefits 2.2: Mindfunessl Meditation Mindfulness meditation constitutes a skill a person may learn, that when he/whe regularly practices it in a disciplined manner, he/she can reduce his/her anxiety, stress, and pain, Bruce F. Singer (2006) asserts in "A mindful recovery: mindfulness meditation practices can help clients, even in the earliest detox stages." According to Singer, "Mindfulness meditation is a process of purposefully paying attention to what is happening in the present moment without being distracted by what has already happened or what might happen" (¶ 1). Studies confirm, Singer contends that mindfulness meditation proves effective to help a person manage his/her pain, as well as reduce stress. Even children can reportedly learn to use mindfulness meditation. Jon Kabat-Zinn, director of the University of Massachusetts Medical Center's relaxation program, describes mindfulness meditation: Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment. We feel more alive. We also gain immediate access to our own powerful inner resources for insight, transformation, and healing. Many forms of meditation exist, but they all share the intentional training of a person's attention and concentration. Different forms of meditation have different objects of attention. For example, some forms teach a person to focus attention on a silently repeated mantra, sound, visual image or object, or phrase or question. In mindfulness meditation the individual deliberately maintains a focused attention on the breath as a way to cultivate concentration (Kabat-Zinn, Massion, Hebert, & Rosenbaum, 1998). Consistent daily practice promotes the development of stability, inner calmness, and non-reactivity of the mind. In turn, this allows one to face, and even embrace, all aspects of daily life regardless of pain, anxiety, or fear. The stability and nonreactivity supports one's ability to become a compassionate observer of self as well as others.

// sorry for the grammer </3 grammer is not my passion.

thinking about this and dedra being lawful evil, in my opinion, fits for her. lawful evil characters, despite being unruly and going about producing outcomes in very unorthodox ways, it's their sense of justice that keeps them grounded(?). it's clear that dedra aligns with the empire's code, and while she bends it for her benefit, her main reasons for bending that code is that it's "for the betterment of the empire."

she has her reasons for enacting these evils - her code, the empire, is her reasons.

i mean, if you squint, MAYBE chaotic evil can make sense for dedra. but chaotic evil characters do evil for the sake of doing evil. lawful evil characters do evil while still maintaining their code of coduct, all while benefiting from bending the rules every now and then.

There are so many options my friends -- even though I pushed boundaries, I truly believe that I upheld the law. Orson Krennic was as close to chaotic as I could get given his penchant for stirring up the pot at parties. However, the masterclass of Andor is the fluidity that we can see among all characters.

[ancestorsofjudah]

1 Kings 3:16-28. "The Tiferet of Chesed."

A Wise Ruling

16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 

17 One of them said, “Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 

18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us.

19 “During the night this woman’s son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast.

 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn’t the son I had borne.”

22 The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.”

But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king.

23 The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,’ while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.’”

24 Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword for the king.

 25 He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.”

26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don’t kill him!”

But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!”

27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.”

28 When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.

This story is not what history or the Midrash states. It related to the bipolar nature of Chesed, mercy and its opposite, shame, and a test of Solomon's ability to discern which prostitute should receive which type.

First of all, prostitution is not legal within the Torah unless one prostitutes to someone outside the religion. If one is going to pay for "sex" a new skill or trait, and can't find a hirable expert in the Temple, one is allowed to pay a gentile to prostitute in order to get it.

Otherwise to prostitute out a Jewish man or woman is prohibited.

From Deuteronomy 23:

17 No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute.18You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute [3] into the house of the LORD your God to pay any vow, because the LORD your God detests them both.

"Interestingly enough, while you are subject to lashes for engaging in intercourse with a gentile prostitute, the Talmud permits eating at her table and drinking wine in her abode:(Avodah Zarah 70A)§" Rava says: In the case of a gentile prostitute, where Jews are dining at her table, the wine at the table is permitted. Granted, their passion for the sin of harlotry overwhelms their judgment". So visiting a foreign gentile prostitute appears to be permitted, provided you don't hire her services."

The fact these two women presented to Solomon meant they were Citizens that had conceived with gentiles, creating two new Jews in the process. One was dead, the progeny of a wicked woman, the other, born to a good one.

The goal of the decision is to ensure the best new Jew is added to the Assembly of the People at the expense of the other. For that we need to coduct a thorough analysis of the mothers.

In the process of deciding who is the good Jew and who is the bad one, Solomon undertakes a decision involving good and evil Chesed.

The Evil of Chesed

In Vayikra 20:17, we find one of the most fascinating comments in all of the chumash. In describing the incestuous relationship between a brother and a sister - and outlining the punishment for this transgression - the Torah states chesed hu, that relations between a brother and a sister is a chesed. The commentators are obviously perplexed. Chesed is usually associated with the highest standard of behaviour. It is generally translated as loving-kindness and reflects actions that are beyond the call of halachic duty. Applying this word to transgressions, especially of such a major magnitude as incest, obviously demands explanation.

Indeed the commentators approach this problem, almost without exception. Rashi presents a straightforward answer: chesed can also mean shame. Chesed hu means that this, sexual relations between a brother and a sister, is a shameful act. Ibn Ezra further supports this explanation with reference to Mishlei 25:10 which uses the verb chesed to mean "to shame or embarrass someone".

In Mishlei one is being told to be careful what he/she says in an argument lest one who hears you will in turn shame or embarrass you. The question is, though, how does the word chesed encompass loving-kindness, the concept of going beyond the strict demands of the law, and embarrassment or shame?

Malbim explains that the true essence of the word chesed is the concept of expansion or excessiveness either for good or for evil. Shame is, in turn, within the parameters of this word for shame is the result of excessive evil.

The trick to understanding the rest is the reference to the Third Day and the fact the woman killed her son by laying on him. She was enmeshed with the chold, and expected love from the child before it was mature enough to understand. She was the epitome of selfishness and this clearly affected her judgement. Her future was cut off.

Her counterpart understood selflessness and parenting are essential counterparts and was willing to take the high road in order to preserve the child's life. Her goodness went on:

Day Three: Tiferet of Chesed

There is love and there is beautiful love. True love includes empathy and compassion which makes it a beautiful love. Love is often fostered in expectation of reciprocity.

Real love is expressed even when one gets nothing in return; even when the other doesn't deserve love. Tiferet is giving also to those that have hurt you. It acknowledges the discipline of gevurah and says that, nevertheless, compassionate love calls for helping all.

The Sword

The Sword represents what is called the Shema, the short of which states:

Shema Yisrael (שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל) (“Hear, O Israel”) are the first two words of a section of the Torah that is the centerpiece of the morning and evening prayer services, encapsulating the monotheistic essence of Judaism:

“Hear, O Israel: G‑d is our L‑rd, G‑d is one.”

So, the Parable of Solomon and the Prostitutes is really about tiferet, the ideal balance of Justice and Mercy needed for proper running of the universe.

As for the switcheroo which took place in the middle of the night: Every moral dilemma has a dark patch that must be surpassed using the Sefirot, the Spiritual Emanations found in the Torah.

"In more Kabbalistic terms, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob correspond to the lofty Divine Emanations (or sefirot) of chesed, gevura, and tiferet, respectively; David is associated with malchut, the manifestation below of all supernal spiritual flow from Above."

To follow the well lit paths these have provided and practice one's way out of the darkness is how the universe maintains its just continuity, as the birth mother of the child proved.

"Upon all those who engage in Torah in the nights, the Holy Blessed One draws down a ray of grace upon them the following day."

The only change in expression was a simple eyebrow raise at the other sneezing, arms folding over his chest. He sighed before gesturing with a hand towards the Spikemuth entrance. "Mate, y'jus' sounded like y'were gonna sneeze your nose off. Get inside already." Sure, a bit pushy. But, honestly, he was concerned. Spikemuth was known for the perpetually chilly weather, rain being common. The last thing he wanted was for someone to get ill simply by being out in it, especially when shelter was so close.

Mandamento do Lobo:

Respeite os mais velhos. Ensine os mais joens. Coopere com o grupo. Divirta-se quando puder. Cace quando precisar. Descanse nos intervalos. Reparta suas afeições. Manifeste seus sentimentos. Deixe sua marca.
