Chronicles of the Dragon Cave from A to Z: "W" is for Word of Honor

   Once I read something along the lines of "a person's worth is only equal to the value of his word." I believe it true.
   Our words and actions speak loud and clear of what is inside our hearts. Those who open their mouths to only speak crap is because crap is all they have inside and that's the value they have accepted for themselves.
    No one can understand better the value and nature of words than a writer, but my word of honor goes beyond showing you what is in my heart. Honoring my word at any rate is my way to keep myself alive.
   If it is quite tough for people to trust other people, it is even tougher for them to trust on dragons. Just check history. Western dragons are usually the representation of an evil force. They are destructive and often mindless beasts that only breath fire and turn everything to ashes.
   Eastern dragons are luckier in those regards. Eastern people are more willing to believe in the positive force of a dragon spirit. Father Dragon's appearance is not the result of ignorance. There are Eastern and Western features because values, beliefs and knowledge from both hemispheres shaped me.
   In any case, appearances matter little. Our eyes often deceive us. Many times, appearances have stopped people from discovering what is the truth beyond the fire, the demon-like wings and scales. My ultimate goal in the blogosphere is first and foremost to tell you who I am. The value of my word is what tells you about my true essence and spirit. If by sharing a bit of dragon wisdom, I can encourage you somehow, excellent! It is up to you to decide if I am worthy of your trust and friendship or not.
   I am a dragon. I breath fire. I have a temper accordingly to my nature, but I have the highest sense of honor. My word of honor speaks of my true value to you, but more important, to myself, to my Ancestors, and to the Higher Powers that no one can fool.

Friday of Celebration

   Celebrate the small things is the brilliant idea of VikLit. Each Friday we post something we wish to celebrate achieving or doing during the week. It can be writing/reading or life related. You can find the list and join us here.
   I made a small modification to the way I do this Meme. Instead of listing what I did during the week, I will  list every week ten things I love about Life. The challenge is not to repeat myself and mention things that meant a vivid joy when I lived them. So here it goes:

1. Singing and dancing in the rain.
2. Making people turn around because my Halloween disguise is the most awesome ever.
3. First time seeing fireflies and thinking those were fairies.
4. Not having time to make wishes because I'm witnessing a star rain.
5. Seeing the evening star appear in the sky exactly when I have a dire wish in my heart and start humming "When you wish upon a star."
6. Feeling the caress of the breeze and comforting hug of the surrounding nature.
7. Finding the answer I were looking for in coincidental places like books, magazines, or ads at the bus stop, but getting this feeling it's no coincidence.
8. Running around working sprinklers.
9. Peace sliding along sunlight beams to put a smile on my face.
10. Cotton candy melting in my mouth.


Tell us what are you celebrating today. Tomorrow I'm giving you the X-Dwarf Files and the mystery of the ninja cloning machine. I hope you can help me solve this most enigmatic case. Have a wonderful weekend!
