Spirit Station
« on: May 04, 2014, 11:22:18 pm »
I had a blast as usual at the Classic this year. Caught up a bit with ol Buddies and met a few more new ones. One of my favorite parts is the Spirit Station. Here are a few pics.

Cheers to all I met and my deepest consolences for those who could have made it and "decided" not to put in the effort.

It was a DAMN GOODER!!  ;) dpgratz

OH and PD...those dots on the lower right are for you all. OH, too the right on the pic w/ Josh is in memory of you. I'll try to post a better pic later.

Thanks Pappy...And all the Twin Oaks Gang!!!

Very spiritual place, I was told that you could take an item there and leave it, but nothing can be taken away. Early Sunday morning I took the last point I made in the pit and left it on a small shelf in honor of the Classic. Didn't get to the Oooga Booga intro, but maybe next year!

Thanks for remembering me feller's, means a lot knowing my dots are there when I cant be. That's a cool place.

 Nice flavor saver trucker! I had to look twice to finger out who it was.

I've never been to the Spirit Station!  :o  I don't know why. Maybe I'm not spiritual enough.  :-\  From the pics of it, it looks like a very cool, spiritual place.

Jade and Eric. ;)

Wildman, I didn't know where it was at either and I've did a fair bit of walking around Pappy's property. I finally saw it when I had to step around the back of Brother Dan's campsite to a,a, see a man about a horse. :D

Yeah, special place within a special place.  I wanted to go there last year, but didn't get the invite. 

This year I had the honor of helping start the fire.  I have been a part of several fire starting ceremonies, but this one meant a lot more to me.  I used my flint and steel kit to strike the spark into the char cloth.  Blackhawk was beside me with a handful of fine tinder waiting to hand me.  Suddenly it all became very clear that I was not to do this alone.  One man strikes the spark, but another fans the flames.  I handed him the char and within moments we had a nice little fire burning. 

The symbolism of "passing it along" struck me deeply.  The Tennessee Classic is an amazing exhibition of this concept, the spirit station is a distillation of that concept, and being able to spark the fire that was used by the people renewing the art on the wall was an honor I will not forget.  Thank you to all that participated and for inviting me to be involved.

Oh, and in the photo with Jade and whats-his-name, you can see my little archer guy in the upper right corner.  I stole that figure from the work in Lascaux Cave or one of the other caves in France.  Five straight lines, one curved line, and one circle....and it tells a story.
