The Alurhsa Blog has returned! I recently changed which hosting service I use, because the old one started having problems. Email was slow and unreliable, the blog and forum were very slow, and sometimes the whole service went down. And when billing problems began, I realized the moment had arrived to change.

As for Alurhsa, for too long I haven’t worked enough on my language. I am ashamed how much I have lost. But I hope to begin again to embrace my language and my heritage, and I hope this blog will be one of the places where I can do that.

Some time ago, a friend asked me to give sound recordings here with the blog entries.  He wants, as perhaps others also want, to here what Alurhsa sounds like when it’s spoken.

There are also, along with the image, links to download the files.  And, this blog can also be subscribed to as an RSS feed, and as a podcast.  I hope everyone enjoys this, and I will try to write more often to provide more to read and hear.

There is a tiny flower, exquisite and beautiful, that is hidden by the other plants which are all larger than it. Under the foliage no one can see or appreciate its beauty or its fragrance.

Why, then, does it exist? Why does it labor so to survive and to create such wonderous splendor?

Because God sees, beholds, and loves even the tiniest flower, and the flower is beautiful for Him.

After spending many months studying other Terran languages, I have recently decided to try to re-awaken the Alurian-ness in my life. I realize I have allowed myself to lose and forget many important things which gave me a spiritual viewpoint and a self-worth which I have been lacking. I want to re-start to pray with the Sharing Ceremony, and to pray in the Alurhsa language, like I used to do a year or two ago. I want to write something in Alurhsa every day, and to write my notes in it, like I used to do a year or two ago. Because by doing this, I’ll also be able to re-find myself.

I am so busy recently. There seems to be so much to do. It seems like everyone wants something from me. At work there is so much to do that I completely can’t even update my to-do list enough. I work on what is critical for the day, knowing I probably won’t be able to finish it, and that I’ll have to work on something completely different the following day. By which I really mean that I never work on the bigger, longer to-dos so they always haunt my rest-time.

There is also so much to do about the refugees. They need so much help and the resettlement assistance program seems to do almost nothing. Maybe there aren’t enough workers, but if so then they should say! Instead they seem unable to help, not to ask for assistance for helping, and to sabotag when we try to help. So there are really very many needs among the refugee community that we try to help. Argh!

I didn’t write yesterday, just one day after saying I intended to write every day. But I also suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and yesterday and even today I’ve had inflamation. It’s as if someone was holding a torch under my wrist, and it feels worse when I use the computer.

Have you ever noticed that whenever you try to accomplish something, when you carefully make detailed plans and write to-do lists, there are always so many other unplanned to-dos that you can never accomplish even one thing from the list?

Today was that kind of day.

I intended to clean out my email, and install the software on my new Mac. I accomplished a little of this, but only a little. I’ve just about given up the idea of ever cleaning out my email. Every time I try, there are problems, questions, other tasks, and so on, so I can’t work on it.

I also know I didn’t write here yesterday. I have to try to avoid that sort of thing so I can really be able to practice Alurhsa every day.

Today I was very busy. Too much email, problems and questions at work, and after work a doctor’s appointment, but before that I needed to visit my Turkish friends to help with a computer problem.

One problem is that I want too much to be nice and helpful. I didn’t really have enough time after work and before my appointment, but when they called, I felt I had to go help. And so I got to the doctor’s late, and the appointment had to be shorter than I needed.

Today I thought about this blog, and I decided to write it in Alurhsa, but also to write a translation in English. This advice is from Tsiasuk-Pron, and I think it’s good. I do think writing here in Alurhsa will be good practice, and I will try to write every day, although certainly I won’t be able to when I’m not at home with the Internet.

Today here the weather was very cold and very windy. And very busy. Dentist appointment, installing a new computer, and many many questions!
