The Outskirts of the Darkness...

How can we dwell solely in the sunlight, when all of us have both elements of light and darkness within? I am persuaded the solution is redemption through the Lord, the author and finisher of Faith. Until that final day, I offer a glimpse at the interplay between the light and the absense of light within one human heart: my own.

Evening Falls, by Enya When the evening falls, and the daylight is fading From within me calls - could it be I am sleeping? For a moment I stray - then it holds me completely... Close to home, I cannot say - Close to home, feeling so far away As I walk the room, there before me a Shadow From another world, where no other can follow Carry me to my own, to where I can cross over... Close to home, I cannot say - Close to home, feeling so far away Far away, the searching never right: I am lost, in oceans of night Forever hoping I can find - Memories, those memories I left behind Even though I leave, will I go on believing - That this time is real? Am I lost in this feeling? Like a child passing through, never knowing the reason: I am home, I know the way I am home, feeling oh, so far away.

Somewhere along the line I encountered Magic Knight Rayearth, and so this site is a part of the New Ring of Magic Knight Rayearth Ring. See the Next, Previous, or a Random site. This got me involved with CLAMP, so I'm also on the CLAMP ML/Rayearth ML Ring. Check out the Next or, Previous, or Random site.
And since I like anime, I'm also a member of the Anime Ring. You can visit the Next site, the Previous, or even a totally Random site with the push of a button! If that wasn't enough, I'm also a member of the Ring of Valis, owing to an overactive interest in Record of Lodoss War. Why not take a tour of the Next site, or the Previous site, or throw caution to the winds and hit a Random site?
I'm even a member of the Anime WebRing, run by Mysterium. It's somewhat unclear how useful Webrings are given the existence of Altavista and all those engines, but I figure: if it increases navigability of the Web, why not?
