An interesting observation:
"We are not identified by common territory or common history, but by our beliefs and our actions." - ?
Found on the internet describing the Greeks who, regardless of where they are, and regardless of how long it has been since they last returned to Greece, they are still Greek in all that they do. Even if it is maddening to the culture they find themselves in, even if discriminated against, they can not, will not, change who they are to fit in.
I realize this also applies to we Good-Dark Soul Types. We are not about cultural genocide, there are Good Dark Gods and Goddesses in every culture. We are not about linguistic genocide; hymn poetry in any language is more about the skill of the writer. As this is about soul-types, not membership in the form of bumper-sticker fanatics, or laughably some stupid ankh and fangs; we can not possibly discriminate based on some infantile thing as "skin color" (mere melanin levels; it is the stuff that is the "tan" in "sun tan"), the size of your anatomical dangle-bits (we have more important stuff to do then haul out the "megameter" ruler), the really fraking odd abrahamic obsession with foreskin does not apply with us either, nor does bank account size, how tall you are, political party (though environmentalist makes rational sense for a Gaia-hugging religion), nor where you were born, who your parents are, which sports team you support, which school you graduated from, nor what grades you got.
In short, A Nav'i, Klingon, Cylon, and Human who are all midget, lesbian, African-Asian descendant Aleut, who work as rodeo-clowns and desires to one day be President of the United States of Earth (The UN) or an Astronaut, can all possibly have, Good-Dark Souls. How a Cylon can by descendant of anyone/anything other then a factory, or that a Nav'i is normally 9 ft. tall and in "midget" form is "only" 6 ft. tall is not the point. All is non sequitor to the fact those 4 people, by their own admission, have Good-Dark souls, worship the Good-Dark Gods, and try to live according to what we needed to learn before reincarnating again.
So no matter how long it is until finding another Good-Dark soul, no matter if one is perpetual solitary or finds a Hearth group tonight that lasts decades. No matter what, we are out there; Children of the Gods, Citizens of the Universe, no matter where we are, we are home. With some statuary, burning incense and occasional time with your Book of Shadows to meditate, even an 18-wheeler truck can be a home for a while. Just wait for the sun to go down; the feeling of peace will return.
