you can feel it anywhere if you really try
my friend, masonic brother and former coworker jeremy just got married this afternoon. i was at the ceremony. it was in a chinese-american evangelical church located in arcadia (i usually don't go that far east unless i have to...). the lovely miss sophia and he had a fun and sweet ceremony.
during the event, i was struck by how much i could feel the presence of spirit there. something in me seems to have mellowed out and i don't seem to harbor such anger towards christians and christianity any more. the ceremony, while not a "hell fire and brimstone" type, was very christian.
in the past, i would just get angry and shut down over such things. today, i just felt that spirit is spirit, no matter how you access it. everyone has, or gets, the set of mysteries they need. i don't need christian mysteries, so they don't work for me.
the one bit of pagan silliness that i couldn't--and didn't want to--suppress was my absolute delight at this very ugly tile mosaic that looked like a giant penis and bore the caption "god is love". i couldn't agree more. however, i would have made it more beautiful...
i'm not going to the dinner reception--don't have any desire to be around that many folks i don't know for several hours while sitting on a tender prostate, so i'm back at home watching pbs and having a rum and pepsi.
just did my first-ever reading with my newest tarot deck (morgan-greer). was very revealing. i love the imagery on the cards; it reminds me of so many illustrated cookbooks and such from when i was a kid. the colors are vivid, the lines are strong and the back of the cards reminds me of the body of nuit in the ancient egyptian frescoes.
