oop! rivendell

Oop. Forgot to record last night’s miles to Rivendell: 160.75 Hey! Less than 300 miles to go! Ok, barely less, but less! Which means I have to walk, um. 2.5 miles a day every day until Dec. 17th in order to make it. Or, y’know. More. :)

I think I’ll bring them to Title Wave. o.O The cats appear to be determinedly ignoring the new type of…

workshop

So last night I went to this shamanism workshop, and that was interesting. I didn’t learn anything from it that I hadn’t learned from reading; nor did anything said blatantly contradict what I’ve read. We did a drum circle, which is always fun — there were THIRTY PEOPLE there! — and later a shamanic journey to meet a power animal, which was really pretty unsuccessful from my point of view, although among the images that came to me was a frog.
