Chasing Lapwings in the Briar-Thicket

Thank you, to each and every one who supported me in this mad adventure. The past year or so has been a marvelous journey for me. I have learned a lot of things about myself and the community of which I am a part. Some have been good and others have given me pause to deeply consider the implications. Mostly though, I have done a lot of talking.

Alas the time I knew would arrive has already passed. My guides, my heart, my path, my Lady and my Lord, and the woods call me in another direction.

As I depart to chase lapwings in the briars somewhere else, I leave the below thoughts for any that care to wander their own thicket.

Practice.

Love.

Balance function and beauty in the Craft.

The Craft begins and ends here—wherever here is.

Remember not to take one’s self too seriously.

Boidh Se!
