After years of wandering around and through discussions of virtues, it occurs to me to gather things together. I will likely be building on this page for years. I hope I will be.

If any readers wish to send comments or additional essays, summaries, or links to writings already out there concerning virtues and the SCA, send them using the e-mail link at the bottom of this page.

Some writings listed here won't be precisely named for a virtue, but I've found that behaviors and virtues are no good if they're separated. Theoretical virtues are no virtues at all. Virtues in a book, or on a webpage, are like sheet music or patterns. Until the project is created or the music is in the air, the "directions" are just paper, or patterns in light, in the case of these words.

Think these things through; try them out; look around and see them in the world.
