Fortieth Theory [Written]
(Also in code, but translated OOCly for your convenience.)
March 3. Weather colder than I had hoped. Snowsuit good idea, must try to replicate at home. Did a lot of thinking and made campsite by mid-afternoon. Worked through remaining daylight.
March 4. Meditated all day. Nothing.
March 5. Meditated all day. Nothing.
March 6. Meditated all day. Revising prior analysis of "nothing" -- am much better at meditating than I used to be.
March 7. Went hiking today. Weather much warmer. Area, and views from it, very interesting. Really is an ocean now -- would like to go there in the summer. Thought about a lot of things. Watched the stars come out. Talked to Derek. Missing family and friends but not ready to go back yet.
March 8. Meditated again. Think I made contact.
March 9. The string moved!
March 9 - Later. Master Splinter here. Talked to him and Mikey. Have permission to finish what I came here to do, but will have a lot to explain when I get home. Must remain focused - can't stay away from my family like this for nothing.
March 10. Feel wonderful. Want to talk to Master Splinter about so many things, but still not ready to go back.
March 11. Much progress today.
March 12. Tried using magic with bo. Liked results.
March 13. Walked today, communicated with spirit. Should have come here months ago. Understand a lot now. Ready to go home.
