intro part 4
- Older in Siberia 2004: intro part 3 - Newer in Siberia 2004: intro part 5
I came back again the following year, and the old lady was waiting with a special mushroom that had spoken to her from the tundra. Yykees. Well I ate it and we proceeded to travel toward the other world. But I got scared and turned back. The next morning, Moolynaut?s stepson, Oleg, asked me: ?Jon, you know why you got scared and turned back?? I said, ?No.? He explained that every person gets a certain amount of power in this world. You can channel that power any way you want, but you don?t get any more than your allocation. I had channeled all my power into traveling well in this world, and I didn?t have enough left to travel into the other world. So, Oleg explained, since I was clearly seeking something, I had to make my spirit journey in this world. It hadn?t dawned on me that I was seeking something, but then I realized that I was. So Misha and I decided to ski across the frozen wasteland of northeast Siberia: Nine time zones from the nearest paved road. No outside support or food drops. No idea of what we will find. And this is the journey that I am going to write about.
