Know Thyself-Working It Old School

Those of you who have come along on my little journey of self discovery and the world of wonder (the universe) might have noticed something changing. Well, for one, I'm posting less. Just less to say. It's not that things have come to a halt, quite the opposite in fact. So much to read and…

2010 Reading Challenge

TwentyTen Reading Challenge The aim is to read a total 20 books, over ten categories, in 2010. (Was this challenge based solely around the name? I’ll let you decide!) Rules: Read 2 books from each category, making a requirement of 20 books total. The categories are intended to be loose guidelines only, if you decide…

Thinker’s Rambling

I have no T.V. although I do physically HAVE one to watch movies or tapes.  I do not get stations and haven't caught the latest episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" or "Two and a Half Men." Is my life any less of a quality because of this? Some would think I was…

A Poem From My Poetry Blog

The Wabi-Sabi of Me September 2, 2009 Look into uneven eyes and see star shine and melting glaciers. See a wild mane of lion’s hair and find stalks of wheat in the harvest sun. Gaze upon topographic landscapes of flesh and bone and see the goddess soul inside. Capture a battered, broken heart and treat…

A Day at the Beach

Well, managed to evade the Meter Nazis this time. Figures they are out until October 1st. Still managed to have a great time and some end of the season fried dough at Happy's Fry Stand. No fancy video, but I got a few really decent pics and uploaded them into a simple  slideshow HERE.

In the dark, every grave he knows…

I've not been posting for a while, just been caught up in daily life. I thought I'd update a little on one of my favorite activities, old graveyards. I've been spending a little of my spare time researching and checking out some of the older cemetaries in the local area. For those who don't know,…

Recharge

Cooler day, long drive and soon we arrived in the Lakes region. Sitting on the dock with only the sound of the water and the seagulls or ducks, then off to the pier for lunch. By then the rain came in. I bought an umbrella but poor Peter had a hard time keeping time with…

The Walk Alone

Someone once told me that to begin on a magickal path is to begin on a path of solitude. No one will understand you anymore, no one will "get it" and no one will stick around long enough to share your joys and pains. Your experiences will separate you from the mundane world around you…

Fresh From The Garden!

Mixed up a bit of flavor this morning. I went out to water the tomatoes, basil and chives in the garden and ended up plucking a few leaves of basil. After rinsing them, I grabbed my trusty mortal and pestle, bashing the heck out of them along with some kosher salt, parmesan cheese, and some…

Grounding In The Trees

Things have been so topsy turvy lately. So much to do, nothing as it should be, reorganizing and readjusting to strange places. Finally, a trip into the "happy place" brings some relief and focus. Not as much time as I'd like to sit and soak in the calm (or I'd be soaking in the rain…
