February 09, 8:00 am Deer - June 2003 There was a small herd of deer gazing at the Brackenridge Recreation Complex. The nice thing about protected places like Brackenridge is that the animals are very used to humans and don’t scatter immediately unless you make loud and obnoxious noises. The first image shows the basic herd. The second image shows a young buck with his antlers just growing and still covered with velvet. MWM

U.S. Election: Brazil's Lula Backs Harris but Could Get Along With Trump

In 1817, U.S. President James Monroe sent lawyer Henry M. Brackenridge to South America to advise on U.S. policy toward the region. The vast Portuguese colony of Brazil stood out to Brackenridge in part because it was not experiencing the violent upheavals of the independence movements rocking Spanish America. “As an American, I cannot but feel a kind of pride in looking forward to the lofty destinies of this new world,” he wrote afterward, concluding that “when we consider the vast capacities and resources of Brazil, it is not visionary to say, that this empire is destined to be our rival.”

Brazil today is not a rival of the United States, but some Western commentators worry that it has not done enough to distance itself from Washington’s antagonists. Under the center-left government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was elected in 2022 after serving as president from 2003 to 2011, Brazil has engaged more than ever with the BRICS bloc, which aspires to a world order independent of U.S. hegemony. Lula’s stances on issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Russia’s war in Ukraine have also occasionally created friction with U.S. President Joe Biden.

Both sides, however, have sought to ease any impression of lasting animosity. “We can have these disagreements, even profound disagreements, … and still continue all of the vital work that we’re doing together,” U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said during a visit to Rio de Janeiro in February.

This year, which marks the bicentennial of U.S. recognition of Brazilian independence, will test ties between the hemisphere’s two largest democracies. The outcome of the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 5 will inevitably affect Brazil.

Walking through the picturesque streets of Cardinal Hill, you find Aurelius Grey Hawthorne, the 45 year old philanthropist/equine rehabilitationist originally from Brackenridge, England. Living alongside them in such a small town, you know that they're compassionate and secretive, but what you might not know is that they are a witch, and that they’re hiding something… ― Cillian Murphy, homosexual, man, and he/him.

Aurelius Grey Hawthorne’s life was steeped in secrecy, sacrifice, and a legacy of suffering. Born to Elowen, a hedgewitch whose powers were hidden even from those closest to her, Aurelius was the product of a long-standing, illicit relationship between Elowen and Lord Edmund Hawthorne. Edmund, bound by duty to maintain the family’s wealth and title, had chosen to marry a woman of means, Hannah, rather than follow his heart, but he still wished for Elowen.

When Elowen fell mysteriously ill, Edmund, despite Hannah being in labor with the twins Lydia and Thomas, left her side to be with Elowen in her final moments. Elowen died, leaving three-year-old Aurelius to be brought to Blackwood Manor, where he was passed off as Edmund’s nephew—the illegitimate child of his “mad sister,” Aureliana Hawthorne.

(Aureliana, the bearer of the family bond, had been a bold, resplendent woman in her youth. But as the bond took hold, her body and mind twisted under its eldritch weight. She was confined to a secluded part of the Blackwood estate, hidden from the world as her body withered and her sanity frayed. Her presence became a whispered tale among the servants, who called her the “monster in the woods.” Even after her mind was gone, her body continued to decay, held together by the dark magic of the bond that tethered her to the land. Lydia, Thomas, and Aurelius would often sneak away to search for this "monster," but Aureliana’s cottage was heavily warded, hidden from any without magic.)

Aurelius, allowed some freedom in his early years, often took trips into town with Lydia and Thomas, provided he looked after them. But tragedy struck when he was ten: Lydia and Thomas drowned in a boating accident. Aurelius, forbidden from joining them that day, was left behind. When they died, Hannah’s grief turned to fury, and she blamed Aurelius for failing to protect them. From that moment on, his freedoms were severely restricted, and he was no longer allowed to leave the estate at all.

At thirteen, Aurelius’s life took another dark turn. His stepmother gave birth to Nathaniel, a child she saw as the true heir to the Hawthorne legacy. Desperate to keep him safe, Hannah sought out a witch to bind Aurelius to Nathaniel through dark magic. This binding spell forced Aurelius to protect his younger brother at all costs, regardless of his own will. The witch was killed after the spell was cast, making the bond irreversible. Aurelius was left forever tethered to Nathaniel’s commands.

At fourteen, Aurelius’s own magic began to manifest, separate from the bond. His abilities were gentle and healing in nature, a stark contrast to the decay and destruction of the bond. He could calm animals, mend injuries, and soothe pain with a touch, earning him a reputation in the village for his herbal remedies. But healing people was restricted due to the bond —each time he tried to use his magic on people, it drained his health, leaving him weakened for days. His magic also brought visions—glimpses of both the past and the future. These dreams connected him to the previous bearers of the curse, including Aureliana, and often blurred the lines between reality and memory. He learned from Aureliana that as more time passed, he would join the past bonded and no longer live in reality - this was a kindness of the bond, as his death - a blood sacrifice - would be prolonged and painful.

Despite his growing talents, Aurelius remained isolated. The bond tied him to the land and the bloodline, and he felt the weight of the bond creeping closer. He was known in the village for healing animals, but the villagers whispered about Aureliana and her madness which they believed she passed to "her son."

In his early twenties, that Aurelius met Beaumont Proctor, a young American hired as the beekeeper and gardener for the estate. Initially standoffish, Aurelius kept his distance, fearing the darkness that followed him might consume anyone who grew too close. But Beau’s warmth and persistence wore him down. What began as a tentative friendship grew into a deep, passionate love that lasted two years. Beau was the first person to encourage Aurelius to be himself, to embrace the parts of him he had long suppressed.

Yet, the specter of the bond loomed large. Aurelius had lost his mother, his siblings, and his aunt to the darkness of his bloodline, and he was terrified that the same fate awaited Beau. The bond, tied to the land and blood, claimed a price from all those "born of the bond," and Aurelius was certain it would come for Beau if they stayed together.

Unable to bear the thought of losing him, Aurelius left Beau with only a letter, explaining nothing. He instructed the estate’s staff to turn Beau away if he ever returned, refusing to see him again. Bound by the magic that kept him tied to Blackwood, Aurelius could not leave the estate without his brother’s permission, and so he remained, haunted by the choice he had made.

Where his aunt had been the monster ... he became the ghost of blackwood.

Years later, Aurelius foresaw a darkness creeping toward Cardinal Hill, the town where Beau had settled. Unable to stand by while the man who had given him love and encouraged him to be himself faced such dangers alone, Aurelius begged his brother for temporary freedom and because Nathaniel loved him -- and knew that Aurelius would never go back on his word -- Nathaniel allowed him to leave - though he had to promise that he would return when his goal was met.

Now, free from the estate but not the bond, Aurelius has come to Cardinal Hill, determined to protect Beau from the encroaching darkness. Aurelius is willing to risk everything, hoping to shield Beau from the dangers ahead—even if it means sacrificing himself in the process.

Thursday, May 30. Japanese Tea Garden. San Antonio, Texas.

Live Oak - June 2003 We were in Texas visiting friends when we went out to see the Texana Presbyterian Church, which is a historic church now located in the Brackenridge Recreation Complex outside of Edna, Texas. I posted a few beautiful images of that church several years ago. But there is more to see than the church at Brackenrige. For instance there is this probably more than a century-old grouping of Live Oaks. Live Oaks, when planted in a clearing will grow very straight and very tall as they seek the sunlight. When planted right next to each other, they form a combined canopy such as this. It makes a great picture, but there is very little straight wood in it. MWM
