A series of oaths, a series of changes

Oct 12, 2009 14:06

You know, in many ways, the initiation I went through changed the game I was playing, deepening it and setting new rules. I like to talk about Huizinga's notion of Homo Ludens as vastly superior to Eliade's Homo Religiosis, but I find myself encountering Huizinga's theories on a very real and intimate level in my life ( Read more... )

In a lot of ways, I am a little sad that I didn't meet you until so far along your course, but the changes I have seen in the short eighteen months I have known you are remarkable ( ... )

I'd never have gotten back to an e-mail :)

I often think I'm glad that so many people who are new to ADF didn't know me prior to consecration. . . I wasn't happy with who I was about three-four years ago, and it showed. It astounds me how transformative these experiences can be.

As for which member is which tree? Well, I could tell you, and thought about it, but I also think that you guys know what tree you are, anyway ;)

I will tell you, though, that you grow fast.

I've known you that long, and I've always liked you. Not always felt comfortable standing next to you in a lightning storm, but always liked you. :)

(If we're being trees, do I have to be one that would show up where I live, or are all trees fair game?)

All trees are fair game. And there doesn't appear to be any Emerald Ash Borer in that garden, either. :)

In the midst of my breakup with Tina, I ended up pretty bad off, hurt myself and a few other people, and just. . . wasn't happy. I just figure I could have done better by everyone around that time, especially myself.

I'm sorry, it was a tough time for you, I know. I hope your grovies were a wee bit supportive to you, at least. I know I've been less than perfect in my consistency.

Hehe, there's a reason none of you knew me before last year. I doubt any of you would have liked me. You have seen the amount of growth that has ensued since I joined ADF. Allow me to tell you I have been like that for years now, apply that is reverse, and you can only imagine who I used to be. I do, indeed, grow fast, thank the Kindred!

Which reminds me...

Are there still willow branches for the taking from your lovely abode? I am looking for a piece (or pieces) long enough to cut into runes of approximately 1/2" to 3/4" in diameter. And a small handful of leaves would be cool, too. I have some willow discs that are closer to 1.5" rounds, if you want to trade for anything.
