I love my peeps

When I was negotiating to be a speaker at the upcoming Heartland Pagan Festival, I did not ask for a cabin. There were two reasons for this. First, it's more fun to camp with my Avalon folk, waking to the smell of coffee and the sound of crackling bacon, sitting at night around our fire across from Memorial Grove. Secondly, I'll have Caesar with ( Read more... )

That is good to hear re the cabin.

Aren't you moving back to Kansas City next year?

Later this year actually. At least that was the plan until a couple months ago. Right now everything is up in the air. I know how insane that sounds, but I'd reached a point where I had to acknowledge that months had passed without me doing a single thing to get the house ready for sale (something that theoretically started last autumn), and that it was because I don't want to sell Holendun. I love my home, in part because of the land itself: mild summers, mild winters, no bugs that devour you alive. I also love my patio, and the little cement pond, and the high cathedral ceiling in my living room and just everything about my kitchen ( ... )

Um, I'm standing right here, y'know.... :(

That's exactly my point. You're standing right there...alone. If something dreadful were to happen - if Scott's dizzy spells were to become so bad that they incapacitated him; if I were to lose my legs - you would be the only person we could turn to. That's far too much of a burden. One person is not a community, and even you're planning on leaving this cesspool in a couple of years.

My delusion that I would be missed by anyone here was dispelled at Beltane, when not one person bothered to call to see if I was dead on the road, or in a hospital somewhere or (yes, the right answer was behind Door #3) just lost. Not a single person. I have no idea of when the grove began to perceive me as being so utterly worthless. Or maybe it was always this way, and I was just too stupid to notice ( ... )
