Seeing the Tree for what it IS....

In one of my fav author’s, Zenna Henderson’s “People” books, one of the characters states that Humans are in the dissection period. “You look at a tree and to understand it you take it apart. Some day you’ll look at a tree and understand that it is a tree.” I think I’m starting to move into the latter. I’ve always been a Fact/Trivia/etc junkie; having to Know everything about a thing. Being a Recon Heathen gives that Need a useful place. But I have noticed that I’m beginning to See the Regin, instead of obsessively gathering info about Them. I think it’s because I Know enough Lore to Know when a “Woo-Woo” experience is tuned in correctly and when I’ve got the Sci-Fi Channel, Lifetime or Nickelodeon playing;>…
I’m not saying that Lore isn’t Important. It is. It’s the map with the landmarks to get you on your journey as a Heathen(esp. as a Recon). But after MANY YEARS of study, if you haven’t been a shitty student you should have Learned enough to Know Their basic Natures and of methods recorded on how to connect with Them. You should be making those connections. It’s called a Living Religion. Otherwise, you are no different than an academic with a predilection for a certain People and Time….
