Update

I am in Texas now. I arrived safely last night, visiting my parents. All I brought was two duffle bags, a huge carry-on, and my laptop. My father and I will drive to North Carolina this weekend, where I will find a place to live, and maybe a vehicle. Today was about sleeping, paying bills, and changing insurance policies. Tonight I had the second ESD teleconference for BurningMan, and the reminder that soon I will be on the playa. I have checked in with the Beloved and the BF, and Phaedrus, who is safe and cared for.

Tommorrow, lunch with my father. And kata. It is time to return to the Way.


There are many who read my journal. Some of them are hurting right now, because of loss, or surgery, or change. I may not be able to comfort and protect them. Again thank you to Nici13, who gave me a Litany versus Fear, and who also gave me this:

For Grim23
change is a journey, not a destination
and remember

Your current safe boundries
were once unknown frontiers.


May we all have a journey.

The Warrior's Prayer, Stuart Wilde

This is also for those who read my journal, but especially for Nici13.
And me. It seems to keep the shields down.



I am what I am.

In having faith in the beauty within me, I develop trust.

In softness I have strength.

In silence I walk with the Gods.

In peace I understand myself and the world.

In conflict I walk away.

In detachment I am free.

In respecting all living things, I respect myself.

In dedication I honor the courage within me.

In eternity I have compassion for the nature of all things.

In love I unconditionally accept the evolution of others.

In freedom I have power.

In my individuality I express the God Force within me.

In service I give of what I have become.

I am what I am:

Eternal, immortal, universal, and infinite.


So Mote It Be.
