Sibling Cave made pilgrimage from the Peaceatorium to The Serpent on the Mound this Spring.
After three years of contemplative prayer for guidance on how best to serve God in this house divided, we haven’t a clue. Therefore, after observing many omens, casting a few bones, and consulting our aurors, it has been decided that Sibling Cave will walk to The Serpent on the Mound, in the style of his hero Peace Pilgrim–walk until offered shelter, fast until fed. Once there, Sibling Cave will ask the Dragon how to act to minimize unnecessary suffering throughout this time of strife between neighbors. If the Dragon refuses to answer, Sibling Cave must engage it in a staring contest. Should Sibling Cave bring back useful wisdom from the Dragon to the Peaceatorium chapter of God’s Order of Freedom, he hopes to be granted full monk status within the Order.
