A Grand Adventure
June 22, 2008

On June 21, Briana and I celebrated our reunion in this incarnation in front of gathered friends and family underneath a huge walnut tree. We're headed off toward the American Southwest, pointing our car toward Sedona, Arizona and having no idea if we'll end up there or somewhere in between. Both Bri and I feel a calling to go in that direction. So, without a shred of expectation, we're off on a grand adventure.
Briana and Jeffrey pause for a photograph after their Summer Solstice handfasting.
For those of you who have read Old Ways for awhile, you'll realize this isn't the first time that I've felt a calling. The Along the Path area of the site is filled with such tales. There was the journey to bury the fossilized dog bone. The call to the Oregon Coast in the middle of the night. Finding myself on a lonely stretch of Washington coastline to perform a funeral for a grove of clearcut awakened trees.
So it's with a sense of excitement that we head out the door, not so much wondering what awaits around the next corner of the road, but trusting in Spirit, knowing that it will be good, and truly believing that the road ahead is filled with more wonder and blessing than that left behind.
If there's broadband along the way, you'll most likely hear from me. If not, both Bri and I should be back in about a week - and then it's back to business and doing the best we can to serve you, our extended magickal family.
