Don’t recall what brought me out here on this ferry to the West. It may have been a day hike, tho more likely was a solo trip out to Port Townsend for a personal training and development seminar or a men’s group event. Could have been a Native American Church event, and most likely was to attend a gathering put on by local wisdom elders of note including Daniel Duane Deardorff, aka Danny or 3D. “3D” was a brilliant and remarkable musician and mythologist who called himself the Mythsinger. As a survivor of childhood polio who struggled with post-polio syndrome, Danny also served as a disabilities rights advocate. On top of these matters he was a bit of a spiritual contemplative outside the pale of any one organized religion. Now am pretty sure he’s the main reason I’m off to Port Townsend over on the Greater Olympic Peninsula. Maybe I’m in error, it’s been over 15 years now. I do recall a deep and intimate gathering.
