Book meme
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences of that book (and these instructions) on your own LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people. (I'm skipping this part.)
Often, I can't do these... the only book in reach from the computer is usually my thesaurus. Thesauri don't have page numbers, and if they did, they don't have sentences. But this time, I have a book. So I opened it. Heh.
Hewell sums up the tradition this way:The path of Feri is not always easy or safe; it's not for everyone. It requires a rigorous self-honesty and a willingness to delve into our own darkness as a source of power and self-healing. It teaches us to go into all the hidden places where we have buried the parts of ourselves we fear and hate, and find there the source of beauty, love, creativity and authenticity. It brings us face to face with our own divinity, so that the raw power of the living universe flows through every part of our being. It is an awesome and frequently challenging experience-the way to wholeness is rarely a comfortable one!
