Ianto's diary

[likesthecoat]

I used to think love meant forever, but I know better now. I can't offer anyone forever. Even if I offer someone the rest of my life, who knows how long that will be. Or won't be.


I hate feeling torn in two. I hate John thinking I'm only biding my time.



I hate knowing he's right.

Not a Buddhist, no. Church of Wales--it's a branch of Anglicanism.

Ah... Christianity, and a form of Catholicism, if I'm not mistaking?

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Yes to the Christianity bit, not quite to the Catholicism bit. We have married clergy, for example, and don't answer to the Pope.

I see. In Buddhism, clergy are permitted to marry as well and, like you, we have found no need for someone to act as an interventionist between ourselves and our gods. Interesting that two religions can be so vastly different, and yet possess two such strong similarities...

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

A lot of religions have one or two things in common.

Hn... very true.

You seem to have put a lot of thought into this area. Tell me; are you clergy or clergy in training?

And, I don't believe I got your name. I'm Genjyo Sanzo...

No, not at all: I work for the government, sort of. It gives me a surprisingly large amount of time to read.

I'm Ianto.
