Crowds of People Asking
Sometimes I think it is a curse to be aware. Consciousness can be a burden. If I were less aware then I think I might cringe less than I do. My life has been full of cringe lately. I know that being different from your average Joe is full of gopher holes and such, but [...]

The Final Push
The thread of life is so fragile, yet sometimes it seems so stubborn and strong. Some very bad news popped up over my twitter stream during the course of the day. Seems that a young Marine pilot on a training flight encountered some mechanical failure in his jet and the plane came down in a [...]

I hesitate to write about this because I rilly rilly rilly detest it when people write about their gym rattedness, so I’m gonna try to avoid repelling you (the faceless, nameless reader) with too much of my own pomposity on the subject (good luck). Anyhoo, yass, recently I became a born-again gym-loving person. For months [...]

nobody plays them the way you do
Ooooops. My NaBloPoMo got borked! What happened? Well, life happened. More specifically work happened. Got me some heavy deadlines and demands and boom a few weeks of 40+ hours in the office and all my NaBloPoMo dreams done evaporated. I was sad but so so SO tired. All my usual responsibilities fell by the wayside. [...]

I’m In Love
Our granola recipe was inspired by Amy Carol of Angry Chicken fame. This is our modified recipe based on her granola recipe. 3 cups rolled oats 1 cup seeds, nuts, or other add-ins. (I use 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 3 tbsp flax seeds) 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey or agave [...]
don’t look back, don’t look away
There was a certain vigor to my getting ready routine this morning due to our new furniture. It’s amazing how nice it is to reach into a drawer and pull out a pair of socks. You see for the last 10 months or more, we’d been keeping our assortment of vestments in these giant plastic [...]

You know, the horse that I’m ridin’
Some days are slogs through distractions and full of effort to complete important tasks while your body decides that now is good time to fall apart. Today was tough. I felt like going to bed 2 hours ago, but here I am with burning eyes in front of the ‘pomputer’ (as the kidlet used to [...]

You’ve got to Vibrate On
Eating: fair-trade organic milk chocolate (I love you green & black!) Whum, straight into the 8th day frizzle-frazzle. Ima tired. So durn tired, but I will write. What should I write about? Wade sez I should write about the ‘rhythm of the universe’. Herm. Instead I think I will write about why we spend so [...]

allegro maestoso
Each of my grandmothers endured many hardships that I will never have to face. One of these challenges is the burden of compulsory pregnancy. My grandmothers each had 7+ pregnancies resulting in 17 births. In most cases, the amount of time between births was less than 15 months, in some cases it was less than [...]

Let it Die
You are the World Completion, Good Reward. The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion. The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also [...]
Searching My Rearview Mirror
We have been distracted lately. Our eyes have been focused on preparing for a retreat. We are looking so far ahead that we’ve been distracted from the present moment. How do I know that I haven’t been paying attention? The poor bubbulah has had a few falls and injuries this week. None of them were [...]
