Pelican in Their Piety Hunt 2019 1st catch

I have caught and released my 1st Pelican, Master Richard the Poor of Ely.

Very nice conversation from which I took away that
the Path includes a lot of THINKING about What you are doing, Why you are doing it, and How you are doing it...

One should be open to changing the Course mid-stream...
if what you're doing is not working,...

STOP!!! 

Re-group,...
rethink, ...
see if maybe you should tweak it a bit, ...
change it a lot, ...
or start over...

Plan your goals and, more importantly,
plan the steps to get there....
be open to updating your plans as you go.

In the Martial world they say that no plan survives first contact with the enemy.

In our case, any plan may need revising at any point in execution....
If the goal is your goal,
and your guidelines are about How you behave on your way,
then the individual steps have a lot more flexibility.

Be flexible and
find a takeaway from every sidestep or setback...
you may accomplish more than you thought if you allow for this.

Thank You Master Richard.

Laurel Hunt 2019 (I know, it's out of order!!!)

Caught and released my 1st Laurel... Dame Judith Fitzhenry the Uncertain !!

(Edited to correct her name, about which I was Uncertain)

Good Conversation, got to know her "thing."
She liked what I'm doing on my "for fun-sies" scroll blank.

She also validated "Art as Service"

I am NOT an Artist.
At best I am a competent colorist, who can do some pretty calligraphy.
(And I am working to be better than "competent" and "pretty".)
ALL of my "artwork" is traced from the source material...

While this does not invalidate the importance of the scroll, (especially to the recipient) it DOES separate me from my geographically nearest other scribes THL Onora and Master Vettorio...

I create these artworks as a service to my Barony or my Kingdom.
If a Practitioner like myself can take the entry level scrolls (AoA's and Silvers)
then ARTISTS can be free to do the Journeyman/Master level ones (GoA's and Peerage.)

Thank you, Dame Judith for that validation. A successful 1st "hunting" day
