<div>Even though she isn't on tribe (give me time, I'm working on it) our Seneschal Wyndreth (Karen) is being graduated from college today. The Shire as a whole is proud of you for sticking it out as a non-traditional student, for going the course and putting up with the madness that is college, and for still managing to be there for all of us even though you were lucky to get four hours of sleep a night. <br/> <br/>Congratulations Karen</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shatteredoak">Shattered Oakies - Nuts to You...</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hey, I feel kinda silly talking to myself here... <br/> <br/>So.... what did everybody do this weekend? It was beautiful in Eau Claire - made it above 70 degrees today - I put up the gazebo and raked the back yard...

<div>Feel free to hijack this thread to other tribes - let me know where though so I can read all the answers.... <br/> <br/>My list: <br/>1. The Anasazi Cliff Dweller ruins in Mesa Verde, Colorado. The cool stillness of the air in the caves, I think they're more comparable to balconies really. The sound of water running through the bottom of the canyons. The breezes running down the valleys carrying the scents of the woods and water and holding aloft the songs of the birds. If you stood there in silence, opened your heart and your soul, you could feel the energy and the memory of the people who built the place, and how much they loved it. <br/> <br/>2. Mount Ranier, Washington. I spent a couple of days (not long enough,alas) of a summer vacation with my parents camped along a mountain stream within the National Park. Everything around was showered by a light mist from the rushing water and bathed in dappled reflections of sunlight in so many shades of green it was beyond imagination. Falling asleep to the roaring of the stream, the rocks tumbling down its narrow winding course, the smell of the earth, the moss, the leaves - is one of the happiest memories I have. I hope to return there someday to spend more time - it's one of the few places I've been where my spirit felt truly at home. One might think that the energies of the Earth would be more available or accessible at Yellowstone - but one would be very, very wrong. <br/> <br/>3. The ancient Redwood Forests, Humboldt County, California. Most people think of trees as shade, wood or possibly a nuisance - I have been humbled before the Giant Sequoia and know better. These towering ancients - aging 1000 years or more, have seen more in their lifetimes than the human mind can encompass. Sure we have history books and historians, but those are only good for dry, lackluster - and often incorrect or biased facts. These beings have experienced it first hand - and lived to tell the tale. Once you step into their embrace and let go of your worries, they can - and will - tell you their stories. If you will but sit at their feet and listen - they are full of life, energy and magics far more real than you or I can fathom. I didn't have the time to spend a day meditating in their midst (it was still the same "vacation" with my parents - 10 National Parks/Monuments in 12 days - we needed more rest when we got home) - I will have to rectify that in the future. <br/> <br/>4. The monoliths along the Oregon coast. How can a bunch of big rocks be magical you say? I answer - you've never seen them have you. These Sentinels of the West have watched countless storms approach and have stood their ground. They're among the last places to say Good Night to the setting sun every evening in the continental US. Though wind and wave, tempest thrown, smash upon them day and night, they remain on vigil - watchtowers of the land. Can you not feel their willpower and strength? <br/> <br/>Eoin</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shatteredoak">Shattered Oakies - Nuts to You...</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>For the first time in a long while, Warriors and Warlords isn't within the Shire... Are you planning to camp this year? Hopefully there will be some shade instead of Serengeti North like last year. Are you going to day-trip to Boscobel? <br/>I personally think I'll end up day-tripping on Saturday to see what's going on, check out Merchant's Row, maybe run into some friends. <br/> <br/>Eoin</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/shatteredoak">Shattered Oakies - Nuts to You...</a> - 0 replies </div>
