Erik and Morris sat speaking about a gentleman from the 2nd crusade; I tried to intervene and was met with the language barrier. It’s not the 1st time my attempts at socializing have gone to the sunrise, in truth it stopped bothering me hundreds of years ago. I could use my brother to interpret for me but, I have too much love and respect for my brother to use him as some mere retainer.
On this moment I remind myself to continue to participate in conversations with individuals. If all I did was listen and never attempt to communicate, people would become far more paranoid than they needed to. Conversations seem to be an uphill battle for me already due to the misplaced fear surrounding our people and the laws set forth by Haqim.
Psalm 23:4 even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
And
Matthew 10:28
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of one can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
So here I sit my heart aching mildly for companionship of the individuals at this table, wondering why Tom so emphatically fears the sound of my voice.
