THE POST-HYPNOX CRAZIES

IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE LAUNCH OF HYPNOX, FRITH GOT INTO THE STICKERS.

THE MOST FUN WAS PUTTING ONE ON EACH FINGER.

SO SHE DID IT AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. WITH OLIVES.

THIS COMBINATION OF OUTFITS FROM AUNTIES NANCY AND CHRISTIE WAS A HUGE HIT ALL-ROUND.

THEN CAME ST PATRICK'S DAY.

WE ATE AT THE WINCHESTER, ALL WEARING GREEN.

PAPA JOINED US FOR DINNER .. THEY HAD A PHOTO-OP BEFORE PAPA NEEDED TO TAKE OFF FOR VARIOUS IRISH-TYPE FESTIVITIES.

BUT NOT BEFORE FRITH MANAGED TO SHOW US HOW DRINKING SOMEBODY UNDER THE TABLE SHOULD TRULY BE DONE.

DERIVING FROM THE ANCIENT WORD "PRIYAS" MEANING "ONE'S OWN", FRITH'S ORIGINAL MEANING WAS PROBABLY SOMETHING LIKE "THE PEACE ENJOYED WHILE AMONG ONE'S OWN FAMILY OR TRIBE" .. FRITH IS OFTEN TRANSLATED SIMPLY AS "PEACE".

THE FULL MEANING OF FRITH ENCOMPASSES PEACE BUT EXTENDS WELL BEYOND IT, TO COVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL AND ESSENTIAL FOUNDATIONS OF HUMAN SOCIAL LIFE. THE TERM FRITH CAPTURED A HUGE PROPORTION OF EVERYTHING GOOD THAT COULD EXIST IN LIFE, AND ALL OF THESE GREW OUT OF THE ROOTS OF THE KINDRED ITSELF -- THE KINDRED RELATIONSHIP.

ANCIENT VIKINGS WOULD INVOKE AN AGREEMENT AMONG ALL PRESENT THAT ARGUMENTS AND DISAGREEMENTS ARE LEFT 'OUTSIDE' THE DOOR DURING CELEBRATION : A 'PROMISE' TO KEEP FRITH. ANYBODY WHO DID NOT RESPECT THIS WOULD HAVE LOST FACE AND ALSO HONOUR. IN THE OLDEN DAYS ONE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE ALL WEAPONS OUTSIDE, TO ENSURE THAT DISCUSSIONS DIDN'T END IN BLOODSHED. SO FRITH IS AN AGREEMENT AMONG SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO RESPECT EACH OTHER TO KEEP 'PEACE'.

FRITH DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD ALL GET ALONG; IT MEANS THAT WE SHOULD ALL STAND, AND ACT, FOR SOMETHING REAL AND MEANINGFUL, AND THAT THOSE OF US WHO FIND OURSELVES STANDING FOR ENOUGH OF THE SAME IMPORTANT THINGS SHOULD STAND TOGETHER, IN LIFELONG COMMITMENTS WITHOUT CONSTANTLY WEIGHING THE BENEFITS AGAINST THE COSTS.

IN ESSENCE, FRITH IS NOT AN ABSENCE, BUT A PRESENCE. IT IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF STRIFE; RATHER IT FILLS THE SPACES BETWEEN PEOPLE WITH SOMETHING THAT IS STRONGER AND MORE IMPORTANT, MORE MEANINGFUL, THAN STRIFE.

FRITH IS AN ACTIVE, DELIBERATE, MINDFUL PEACE.
