 I'm not really behind this week as much as I haven't had time to write anything up.  I'm doing the readings again tonight and, unless I come up with some brilliant insight that will make the First Oath in Our Own Druidry more personal, doing that as well.  I wonder if the Kindreds will mind if the representation of the tree is a mason jar with green onions growing in it.

I think I'm going to try to work out a knitting meditation.  Probably my intricate lace project won't work, but a garter stitch scarf will, or possibly a different shawl i'm working on.  And as I research this, it appears it is a thing.  I wish the local library had the book I've found, but I'll deal with the fact that it doesn't.  Now to decide if I want to own said book in physical or e-format.  Or maybe both?  I need to discuss this with the group anyway.  The requirement isn't exactly clear for what qualifies and what doesn't:

An essay or journal covering the Dedicant's personal experience of building mental discipline, through the use of meditation, trance, or other systematic techniques on a regular basis.

We're having a study group meeting soon, so I'll bring it up then.  Or in the study group on facebook.

I also need to smudge the house again.  Somehow I've picked up a ghost cat?  Or it certainly feels like a cat. Since I can be looking at Luna across the room and feel a cat moving behind me.
