Aeron: "Men fish the sea, dig in the earth, and die. Women birth children in blood and pain, and die. Night follows day. The winds and tides remain. The islands are as our god made them."
Some scenes for the prompt "Home" for twoweeksoftheon
(The scene with Aeron hit me, when I reread. We often fault Theon for his homecoming, for failing to get to know the people and find allies first. But one of the first things he does on the Iron Islands is in fact ask for advice and information in full humility, from someone he remembers as potentially helpful. Aeron isn't.)

when i look at her, there's only one question in my head, will she grieve for me as much as I grieve for my child?
The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It's about being as fearless as one can and behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. Good is more interesting, more complex, more demanding. Evil is silly. It may be horrible, but it is not a compelling idea. The opposite survival, blossoming, endurance, those things are more compelling intellectually, if not spiritually, which they certainly are also. We are already born. We are going to die. So in between, you have to do something interesting that you respect.
