Well, if you take an unpopular stance and don't believe in it yourself, why should anyone else bother considering it?
[ john has also never had a problem accepting his actions are correct, even when that position has left him as a lone voice in the wilderness. even when "correct" is very much open to interpretation. he likes that expression in particular because it really lends to the idea that he's the only one with any sense. ]
I have Communed with the Tree another time without having to die, but it still required someone else's death, so that probably counts, huh?
[ a volunteer! ]
I have my theories, but I suspect it would require several more deaths even to attempt to get a concrete answer. [ which is a perfectly normal thing to say, especially if they got several more visions out of it. ] I'm also willing to consider that it's possible I'm just bad at making that connection in any other way.
It's like meditation, which I've never been able to do. I can't stop thinking, which tends not to be the kind of "mindfulness" this sort of thing demands.
