Berkano
I don’t know what runic half-month it is. I’ve also been fighting depression – living in the suburbs doesn’t make life too easy. I feel disconnected from nature, jostled by noise and electronics, and without purpose. I’m working a job just for the money and wonder how I keep finding myself there, back in a bakery cleaning up after corporate America.
But it’s money, and that money is going to provide me with land that I can hold as my own for the rest of my life. It’s gotta be worth it – as long as I can keep my soul in one piece. The more I learn about the state of our world, the less I can play along. In March I’ll be heading west, and will leave it behind. Hopefully I’ll never return.
I want a very different life. I’ll be calling on berkano to give me that silent, subtle strength and resilience. To help me slip by unnoticed but remain steadfast in my purpose.
Dunc, you should look into the book Spiritwalker. I think I have an extra copy that I can mail you – it’s written by a man living in Hawai’i and I think it would open your eyes even wider – I really enjoyed reading it at the end of last year, and I think you’d enjoy it too.
Also, look into the book Communicating with Orcas. Amazing stuff.
Love you runebrotha.
