At Desolation Point

OldBones-Larry

I just arrived at Desolation Point to find @dwwms very close to the edge.

I lit a lantern and began calling to him. I can only hope he hears me and finds a clear view of the trail.

Follow the lantern light until we get past the drop-off. You are doing so well in your journey across the desert.

To those following him, keep to the trail he is leaving. Each traveler makes the trail show even more clearly.
I have filled supplies at each oasis on my way here. I will continue to fill the rest as I travel on.

I have been restless lately and wondering where I am going. I know where I need to go.
I am working my way back to the mountain. I am feeling the need to sit in The Old Goat's cave and meditate on things. Maybe she will let me know what I should do.

I need to recharge that I may continue the work she asked me to do.
One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
