Was wonderful! It's so lovely when a ritual comes together well. When planning and spontaneity balance together and everyone is working together and on the same page. Lots of flowers, and lots of singing. Even some dancing and singing, which is kind of a minor miracle. I love singing and dancing to "The Earth is my Mother" or whatever the name is. Everything flowed, we got a wonderful omen, which of course I can't remember all of now. I'll just have to wait until Amy posts her summary. I remember Wunjo was the blessing. Awesome! When it really flows for me, I often don't remember all of the ritual clearly.
I absolutely remember helping my youngest bury her poop in the woods. (that was not the funnest ever) It was okay though. It was after the waters were blessed, so I was pretty much done anyway. Amy was leading a really cool meditation, I'm sad I missed out, but it's okay. Poop comes first. LOL. Apparently they didn't know where I had gone when I was dealing with defecation, and there was a moment of the alternate reality where Melissa Does Not Exist. They continued onward with the thanks and I was able to step back in and help with gate closing and finishing it all off. Nifty. My mom came and told me she really enjoyed the service, or rite, or celebration or... I told her that calling it a service was just fine. :)
