I am on the coast in Washington State tonight after a harrowing discovery and the necessity to seek a safe haven to gather my thoughts and to prepare for what will come next.
First a quick update on yesterday and then I'll get into what transpired today.
I caught the ferry to Sidney, BC from Anacortes, WA at 8:30 AM .... it was overcast and drizzling slightly ... a sign that the 'watcher' was displeased but not moved to do anything by my movement North to the island. After a quick stop at Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands, we continued on our way ....
It was no more than 10 minutes out then the ferry slowed and then made a slow arc to the west ... an announcement was made that whales had been sighted ... Orcas ... the ferry stayed there for about 5 minutes ... and then it dawned on me suddenly that there was more to this than met the eye ... and just like that I knew it ... just like I had suspected something subliminally in Yellowstone ... the creaturess were being used by the 'watcher' to track me ... no wonder they were always so close ... so curious ... so willing to approach me .... just like the Orcas yesterday ...
I knew now I was in real trouble ... which gave my visit to Victoria extra meaning ... for I was here to visit the 'medicine man'. Not in the North American Indian sense ... but in the literal sense ...to visit the 'man who takes medicine'.
He had last visited me on my birthday .... to warn me essentially of something dark on the horizon ... I was turning 60 ... one 6 ... there may be two more ... and if there were two more .... gates and doors would be opened that could never be closed.
His advice was simple, 'Never put yourself in the hands of shamans, learn and understand for yourself what path needs to be followed'.
After that we broke bread and gave thanks to the North American hop growers and I then left on foot to be alone at the top of the mountain ... that was when I made my post last night.
I left Victoria today on the ferry to Port Angeles, WA; having made a decision to stay very close to the coast ... staying close for the very reason that at the coast there is very little transmission and distribution networks, wildlife shun the coast because it is open, fish and other aquatic mammalian life cannot venture too close to shore; I could probably move south undetected ... and it worked for a while .... until the two bears crossed the road ... pausing to look back ... and the 'watcher' had me ... for a while ... 'it' knows roughly where I am .... 'it' doesn't know exactly ...
I looked up an old friend earlier today ..... Billy .... I was hungry and thirsty .. hadn't eaten and hadn't had anything to drink for nearly 2 hours ... Billy gave me a Big Al's Pale Ale .... it was that 'tea' colour that I like and it had a good hop nose and taste with a nice clean finish .... I would have named it 'more' .... when Billy clearly saw that this wasn't going to do it he gave me a Manny's Pale Ale ... a similar colour to the first one but hops and flavour wise, just couldn't cut it ... Billy also gave me a tray of deep fried fresh oysters .... 'shucks' they were good.
Then Billy flexed his intellectual mussel .... he reminded me that an oyster is both flesh and shell .... and sometimes an oyster and shell produce something else ... a pearl .... some pearls are wisdom ... and wisdom may be found at Shark's Seafood Bar & Steamer Company in Newport ... I asked him WTF he was talking about ... he clammed up ...
I still do not know any more about the mission I am on ... I know a bit more about how the watcher is tracking me ... I know nothing about why I must be stopped ... or at the very minimum delayed ... I do know that it is important that I keep moving ... if I stay dormant for too long 'his' sentinels will find me .... and I can only assume a close encounter with one will not be in the best interest of my continued good health ... it appears there's a clue in Newport ....
To quote from verse 727 of the Krome Koan,
'A man may as well open an oyster without a knife, as a lawyer's mouth without a fee.'
The journey continues ....
Forever Man
