What a wonderful Gathering!
So many lovely peeps!
I met some old friends (one whom I hadn't seen in literally 25 years!), made some new friends, and reconnected with an amazing array of the magical beings of forest & fen.
Special thanks to:
Rosanne: for *insisting* that I come, AND for all that fantastic food!
Deb: for that knowing smile.
Violet: for a truly inspired set of ritual pageants.
Holly: for stepping up to serious leadership.
Sabrina: for laughter, tears, and that bouncing bundle of joy!
Steven: for holding the mirror ('Fritz, the younger years')
Geri: for becoming good knitting buddies after years of sniping at each other.
Sara: for telling me so many wonderful things.
Wendy: for showing me how to put the *sigh* in psychology.
Sheldon: for that frog ('about the size of a small cat').
Heidi: for bringing me up to date on all the very latest.
. . . and for everyone else who went out of their way to make sure I was was keeping/staying/doing well.
There were SO many excellent conversations spinning around me at the Gathering -- many that only just got started.
If anyone feels inclined to continue those mind melds, please do drop me a line.
