an introductory course

Oh dear she is late! Time had gotten away from her and, when she started for the lesson on healing, well it was way past when she had told herself she would set out. Paws move hurriedly along a path that had been explained to her in great detail. Okay, turn here and there is the tree! Another turn and walk, walk, walk. There it is! The clearing! Relief washes over her as she moves forward, looking for a seat close to front but not too near to be considered rude. Besides, she doesn’t want to embarrass Iolaire too much in front of the others.

That, however, does not keep the woman from trying to catch her niece’s eye and making herself known to the small healer. Lots of wiggling and wagging accompany the woman as she makes it to her self-appointed seat. A smile rests easily on her lips as she sits down and readies herself to absorb information and learn new techniques. Quickly shuffling through the filing cabinets of her mind, Meadow organizes her thoughts so that she is ready to take in the maximum amount of information in one sitting.

The question, ‘Wait, did I need to know that name?’ passes across her mind as something that must not have been too important is deleted from her memory banks. Time to learn!
