This isn't so much a trip report as a PRE trip report:
I had a pharma dose prepared, sat on it for a few days, chickening out twice. The night I finally did it I was nervous and pacing, still not sure if I wanted to "go", so I asked for an omen. A very specific omen: I said, "If I go outside and see a cardinal, then I will take the plunge, if not, I'll do it another time."
I step outside, it is evening, and I wait on the porch by the door. I stand and wait, looking around.
About five minutes goes by and TWO cardinals fly by. Wow. Cool. But then I look up at the clouds and I see, very distinctly, the 1111 symbol in the clouds; four vertical, straight lines (not sure how the formed like that, maybe a contrail or something. Either way, 11:11 is an important number for me.
But then a THIRD omen: when I got back in the house I look at the clock: 8:22 ( 22 is an extraordinarily significant number for me (if you couldn't tell from my name).
So, laughing and full of glee, having received three personally meaningful omens, I drank my pharma dose.
I'm going to play with this more in future trips (next trip is planned for this Friday the 13, which is also the full moon; I'll be making an acacia brew)
