Milestones

It really has been a landmark quarter moon for us seekers. There are quite a few reasons for that, not least of which is we have been officially living in camp for well over a moon. Most people would have had trouble living outdoors this long, let alone the many moons we have left. It clearly shows one of two things, either we have found a place where we can come into balance with ourselves, or we are certifiably a little nuts.

It has also been a significant time for us, as we have begun to really gather our food from the wild. Wild greens have begun to make up half of our leafy greens. We also have started fishing, and boy have we taken to it. Just last sun we caught 103 fish; so we don’t have to worry about starving just yet. Plus we have a filled firewood rack to cook it all with! So for any guests, you can bet we will have a fish feast waiting for you.

We also have been making some steps on our intrapersonal relationships as well. We have begun using our names to help recognize our patterns of victimization. For example, if someone is constantly externalizing blame onto others in the circle; then their new name might be “blames others”. This is going to be a challenging step, but a necessary one in our process of healing and self-discovery as we are doing this, our first dead moon visit is fast approaching. It will give us a chance to delve deep on some research and connect with friends and family on the outside. We also are excited (some more than others) to give up using matches and begin making fire the way our ancestors did. So wish us luck!

‘Till next time, see you on the Path.
