Humans are so easily amused and excited.  It perturbs me greatly.  I can't help but wonder if I was as naive as the human children I see today, chasing each other with weapons that shoot water.  Doesn't it only further engrain the violent nature that humans seem to have for killing one another?  Summers bother me because it seems I am always surrounded by unintelligent humans.  A good meal is always tainted with the bitter taste of alcohol.  Can't humans of age have a summer without…

Removing cartridges from pens, black tape stuck to the underside of the mouse, switching around the keys on the desktop computer, hiding the laptop, hiding Katie's shoes, switching Katie's make up... Taking Eleazar's car keys, these are just the tip of the iceberg. Tanya and I have done all of these pranks and so much more over the years. We did however draw the line at our families cars..... until now that is.

I don't know why I had never thought of it before but there it was.... a…

When I was young I remember crawling into bed listening closely as my Mother told me many different stories and legends of our tribe and other tribes as well. Now that I am older, there is one story that seems to stand out in my mind. It's a short story of how night and day came to be.

One day a rabbit was traveling through the forest and came to a clearing on the bank of a river. He saw an owl perched on a twig, but it was almost dark and the rabbit could not see very well. He said…

One of my favorite summer activities around the reservation would be without a doubt going cliff jumping with my brothers. I know our moms always cringe at the sound of us mentioning going there but there’s nothing we can do about it. Before all the changes in my life, we used to jump only from the smaller cliff, and never by ourselves but since then, that cliff isn’t much of a challenge anymore. I remember when Jared, Paul and Sam took me to the high cliff four years ago after I joined…

My dear Elizabeth,

So many years have passed since we last saw each other and I want you to know that I truly miss you. Your smile, your teasing, your laughter, your companionship.

I still steal into your room and read the books on your shelf and borrow your bow and arrow from time to time.

I think of you often and wish that you had lived the life you so wanted.

Your loving brother,

Alistair

I find myself speechless around you even though there is so much I want to tell you. So now while I am sitting here, supposing to be doing my research on my next project.  But once again all I am thinking about is you.

So I decided to write you a letter, to tell you of just how amazing you make me feel. How much I love you and how much I look forward to our future together.

You are the one person that makes me feel normal and special at the same time. With you I feel like I fit…

I have been traveling quite a bit of late. Rome, Scandinavia, India and other ancient cultural places. Thought in my travels each place I've visited has been an alright area for me to open an art galIery but I found a piece of property in Greece that is very appealing. I've decided to open an art gallery. I have decided to display some pieces as well as offer some for sale. I think this area will prove to be a good target market area due to  wide spread the tourist traffic. Greece is already…

In Italy we have many summer traditions. One that I have seen occur every year since I have been immortal. It is quite a celebration to witness.

Pisa, Luminar di Saint Ranieri:

Every year on June 16th the city of Pisa celebrates the Luminara di Saint Ranieri, the Patron Saint of Italy, who died as a Saint in 1161, and who has been celebrated since the late 17th century. Along…

My Dearest Tia,

I miss you there is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking of you. The memory of your smile is what keeps me going day after day. The memories of our laughing and running through the streets of Cairo.

As I have told you in previous entries... Amun is trying to teach me or rather mentor me. For what I am not sure, He will only tell me bits and pieces and even then they do not make sense.

Amun will not let me out of…

 I didn't have a chance to walk away after she shoved my shoulder and yelled at me, accusing me of running from responsibilites like my father. The second the words rolled off her tongue I lost control, and the next thing I knew she was on the ground with blood covering her face and arm, her body seemingly lifeless.  It was like a scene from a horror movie playing out right in front of me. With one quick swipe of my paw I caused harm to the one I loved. Panic set in and I took off deep into…

Within each family there are usually heirlooms and traditions which are passed from generation to generation. Our family is no exception. Sure, we have a little different dynamics than usual but the love and respect we have for each other is as normal as any other. 

Esme and I have a special tradition that we never want to let go of. Each year we make the short trip to Forks for the…

Sitting in our bedroom I started thinking what love is and well love is the most wonderful feeling you have for the people you care most for in this world, in my case, my friends, family and most importantly my amazing husband and my beautiful daughter, and that is why today I write this letter to him.

June 13^th,2012

Sam,

I know that the words I am about to tell you, you already know them, but I…
