Making a space for my thoughts, making a space to write one more blogpost, that is my job at the moment.  Have kid’s archery camp starting after lunch today and I need to put the final touches on my prep but first I’m here at Caminoheads.  It was a hard weekend, not that it wasn’t beautiful and full of interesting facets.  But it was my Pyrenees weekend as Catherine calls it, my bad chemo time when it feels like I am climbing the mountains again.  But here we are, made it to the other side.

Also we are preparing for the next Women’s Archery Retreat in September.  This is going to be a blast and I am getting stoked.  We had such a good time in June with our very first one.  This is similar to any other situation where you can guide someone through a process and watch the satisfaction and progress happening.  After a while it is way more fun than actually doing it yourself.   That’s where I am at.

This archery thing is largely a lost art.  We now at this time in history are picking up the crumbs of what was.  But even at that it is serious fun with what we have been able to put together from looking at the past.  That combined with some influx of modern materials and innovations has again raised bow and arrow shooting to a practical and fun activity.  You don’t have to be highly athletic, wealthy, young.  There is gear and a method for everyone.

It is my pleasure to be able to offer lessons and these retreats.  I guess I am doing the old passing on things.  But archery largely sells itself, all I do is get you started.

I hope this doesn’t sound like a plug for something that is outside the scope of this blog but it is what is largely on my mind.  And making a space for blogging with you today seems to be impossible except for this topic.  Hope that you find it interesting.

Love you, Felipe.
