I can't think of anything cutesy

Apr 12, 2005 08:17

I woke up at 9am. I am changing my circadian rhythm (Yay). I, initially, woke up @ 7.45am. Went back to bed for an hour to stay out of everyone else's way.

Woke up with the realization I'm probably depressed. Been there done that. But I do note I'm still functioning. So, to figure out the lesson I'm to learn from this depression.

Altho, this may be the beginning for Saturday. April 16th, 2005 is the day my mother will have been dead for half my life (meaning I have lived the same amount of time with and without her). It would have been my parents 50th Wedding anniversary, also. Please feel free to be nice to me on Saturday.

Of course, must check LJ. In nonfluffypagans, someone started a daily practice community. Seriously thinking about joining, because I want to up and strengthen my daily practices.

Here is what I do daily:
1. I unveil my Air Altar (see my April 10, 2005 entry), when I'm ready to connect to the Universe (usually when I awake).
2. I light a stick (or more) of incense on the home altar and pray to Hekate and Diviolo (Purple God of Healing).
3. When I'm on the internet, I do, at least, one search of a spiritual nature.

Daily (when circumstances occur) to weekly:
1. Leave an offering (coins, fruit, meal) at my selected crossroads of Hekate (intersection of 13th and O Streets and Vermont Avenue (Logan Circle)), with prayers.
2. Meditate (certainly not as often as I should).
3. Learn something new, spiritually.
4. A personal working. Now, it is the Heart Chalice meditation.

What I want to add:
1. Prayer. At/over meals, specific times (waking, bedtime, etc.), times of gratitude, joy, faith. Not just when things suck.
2. Meditation. Daily, not just when the mood strikes.
3. Other practices which strengthen my spiritual life. Practices I'm not identifying with this list. Anybody have any ideas?

More mundane items concerning yesterday-
-The apartment above the clinic had a fire. When I picked up my 1099, I got a tour of the damage. Ceiling and wall plaster had fallen, supplies damaged, and the smell of smoke everywhere. Not pretty.
-The DCRadFey potluck had a lecture/discussion about the ethics of ritual. What we do it ritual for what reasons.
-Didn't fall asleep til 1.30am

TTFN Possums!
