Friday – Leaving Olympia… arriving back in Olympia!
6 hours – biking and eating, expending and consuming energy, solitude
3 hours  – disordering, ordering
It was my intention of making it to Chehalis when I left, but I learned some important things about my pride when I learned there was a package arriving for me back in Olympia  after I had left. Turning around was an arduous process, and nearly physically painful for me. But I did it, and discovered that I can turn around, that it is a possibility, and no one will think less of me for it.

Saturday – Leaving Olympia, arriving in Chehalis
2 hours – organizing and un-organizing
10 hours – biking and eating – expending and consuming
I knocked on doors to find a place to sleep for the night. For me, choosing which door to knock on, and then asking the person if I could sleep in their yard or on their floor was so hard, and brought to my attention another somewhat similar pattern – remaining silent rather than speaking what is on my mind or in my heart.

Sunday – Chehalis to Deer Island
2 hours – organizing and un-organizing
10 hours – biking and eating – expending and consuming
I met a wonderful cyclist today who showed me the way through Longview, and right into Oregon! My passage through this city was the sketchiest and scariest part of my journey north from Portland. It seems that the people and things I need are popping up to support me when I need them most!

Monday – Deer Island to Portland!
2 hours – creating order from disorder
5 hours – biking and eating, inhaling and exhaling, gathering and dispersing, <strong>movement</strong>
1.5 hours – working on bike, a cycle of creating chaos and restoring greater order”
6.5 hours – <strong>Stillness</strong>
Movement and stillness are a major cycle in my life right now.

Tuesday – Portland
2.5 hours – creating and destroying… food
4 hours – working on blog
1 hour – consuming, grounding
1 hour – stillness, settling

Wednesday – Portland
4 hours – Reading Neuro, and Pattiann Rogers, Writing, Reading others’ seminar passes
3 hours – attending a talk at Clackamas Community College with a person who calls himself the Planet Walker. He walked around the country for 22 years, and spent 17 of those years without speaking, just listening. He was such a being of love and light. It seemed to me that he had totally let go and was entirely trusting the universe to lead him, and let light shine through him to all the beings around.

Thursday – Portland
3 hours – Reading Neuro and Pattiann Rogers
3 hours – attending a playful play about the cycles of the constellations – astrology, and the affects of the movements of the planets and the moon on our realities.
1 hour – run, finding movement, and stillness within movement

Friday – Portland
2 hours – creating order from disorder, or maybe just containing the chaos
4 hours – getting to know my first interveiwee – Jas – and learning about community organizing and social permaculture
1.5 hours – doing the interview
2 hours – working on my blog, logging hours
I’ve been seeing how cycles permeate every moment, every object and life around me, and every movement of thought or emotion within me. I see permaculture and cycles merging together in so many different, distinct yet overlapping areas – socially, economically and ecologically.
