Day 6 - 09 Jux 45 - Downtime?
Alana heads to her room feeling rather despondent. Flopping down on her bed she is quickly asleep as she is still quite exhausted by her futile efforts to manifest something she clearly was never meant to accomplish.
It is light out by the time she wakes the following morning and although she feels she should be hungry, she has no appetite. Instead, she sits on her floor and tries to clear her mind and concentrate on manifesting the Pattern but instead she keeps thinking of home. She's been here what seems like weeks but maybe is only one. Thoughts of her tawny owl Shari, her horse, her father, Rory, even her exams keep intruding. She spends the morning staring blankly at the wall, her mind wandering the woods and mountains around Oban, thoughts of the Pattern far from her mind.
