There had been some conversation with the mother from Alaska who wouldn't think of venturing out and it was decided that they didn't need to call anyone else. I guess there is a frowny face on my good mother card now. It sounds like you were there in thoughts and spirit.JaAnBehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466168862531509865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-20683125479885694932009-08-03T16:30:05.324-04:002009-08-03T16:30:05.324-04:00Listening to ancestors and avoiding the worst of w...Listening to ancestors and avoiding the worst of weather is Sacred, just as much so as slogging through storms. I wouldn't fret too much, as respecting your instincts and your inner self's guidance is important too. :)Maebiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818255129828936381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-28212787412414974952009-08-02T23:10:14.318-04:002009-08-02T23:10:14.318-04:00Well damn.

Why, we would walk barefooted, through four feet of snow, for miles with seventy pounds of candles on our backs, to conduct a circle in the middle of a raging blizzard with vultures hovering and wolves stalking us in the dark with only the aurora to guide us! Yea, we were ALASKAN Druids, and we LIKED IT!<br /><br />But today our umbrella broke, so we missed it........Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-16348981038459236972009-08-02T19:20:45.078-04:002009-08-02T19:20:45.078-04:00You were missed, of course, but it was very sensib...You were missed, of course, but it was very sensible of you to stay home. The news was just showing all the flooding and damage that happened today, and you would have been driving right into the teeth of it.

But listening to your Grandfather was wise, celebrating outdoors in rain is one thing, driving through dangerous storms to do so, is another.Lavanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295089071497942411noreply@blogger.com
