Finally made it

I thank the Spirits a thousand times. I have finally made it to walking fully on the Red Path. I begin training pretty much immediately even though I haven't been initiated officially yet. I have my weapon already and I am eager to refine my technique with it in order to be efficient and ultimitaly safe with it. I have chosen to celebrate with my dearest of dear friends in Redwood City, CA. This is where I am now and will be for the next 9 days.
