Shakespeare's Sonnet 44:If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,
Injurious distance should not stop my way;
For then despite of space I would be brought,
From limits far remote where thou dost stay.
No matter then although my foot did stand
Upon the farthest earth removed from thee;
For nimble thought can jump both sea and land
As soon as think the place where he would be.
But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought,
To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,
But that so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time's leisure with my moan,
Receiving nought by elements so slow
But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.


The sonnet describes Sylvia's predicament clearly. She has close friends, those considered kin, in Rhydin and family, love, and duty in Yransea. So this Folder includes all those adventures she, her family and friends, and her servants/employees experience.

That being said, you're welcome to join in any thread that you wish. There will be some obvious ones (like journals or personal reflections) that you cannot enter, but those will be clearly stated as such in the initial posting of the thread to leave out the guesswork. You are also always welcome to PM myself or Kiema Buie if you have questions.
