Jun. 20th, 2009 12:32 pmOn the way home from Shawn's house, I went through Laurelhurst park. Lots of people use that park for any number of things, and today I did a double take when I saw a Druidic group doing ritual. Full robes and everything. I could smell their incense.
Now, everyone has the right to use the public parks. And it is the Solstice. But....Laurelhurst park? What were they thinking? There was a party with kids and balloons just fifty feet away, a path with cyclists and dog walkers maybe fifteen feet, people running all around them...Personally, I prefer to do ritual without worrying about people gawking at me or interrupting to ask questions or people's dogs running through it.
Hands of the Mother used that one meadow of the arboretum. We did have people walk by, but not that many; and the path kept them a fairly good distance away. It was almost perfect.
Maybe they do have a good reason. Laurelhurst has more oaks, for sure. Maybe one of their members has a mobility issue. I don't know.
Bowie vs Prince last night was fun but Shawn and I left early. Shawn has indeed met
jenhowell and
common_as_stone, not that much conversation went on or anything. Shawn also got to meet
encapsulate and
joeyfalconetti, who were quite striking in their zombie bride and groom outfits. I got to hear and tell the "Vegan zombies eat....grrrrraiiiinssss" joke several times.
Today I'm going to a vegan bike wedding, which then meets up with bike jousting at Colonel Summers.
Tonight: Solstice Ride (Shawn's leading this), then Sunday Parkways and the Dead Freeways (another Shawn ride) tomorrow. Oh gawd. Sleep? What sleep? Pffft.
