I've been meaning to write a post about last weekend for a while. Gathering the bits and pieces of it. Hashing it out once in a written conversation, and once more out loud, for as much as could spoken on it. It was a very moving weekend for me, that involved a lot of deep work, and a lot more relevance (as well as reverence) to topic of silence ( Read more... )

As I said Friday had them all over itself ( Read more... )

I managed Home Plus without anyone else. I talked the taxi cab and ended up at a Home Plus, which was the smaller one and thus not the one I had meant to go to (there is a smaller one between my house and the Super Mega Home Plus), but I had not remember where the one wanted to go to was for any clarification to give the driver, and I realized ( Read more... )

Remember how I said I've been giving in lately, and things have just been showing up everywhere? Well, now this has moved into my limited counter space in my tiny shoebox world. The honest truth, seeing it every day fills me with more contentment than a candle and bag of apples did there.

1. My Glamourkin package of these pendants arrived today, with an awesome surprise Glamourtini in it. I was surprised to see this set arrive before my Elemental one, but I was so excited when I started shifting through bags on my work desk! I love these little pieces so very, very, very much. I can't wait to start wearing them tomorrow. You've out ( Read more... )

I. Hillary Duff's Come Clean is stuck in my head, since Bauhaus was blaring it as I walked by on the way home tonight. I have an endless barrage of memories like this. Today the scent of grapes, the swing of my bag, the sound of my book, and Hillary's voice blended against the steps and cars.

I'm still humming it.

I'm coming clean ( Read more... )

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In Salman Rushdie's story "The Prophet's Hair," a greedy man intentionally cripples his four sons when they're young, hoping to turn them into beggars who elicit profound sympathy and large cash donations. The plan is successful. His sons earn him a good income. Later, however, he comes into possession of a potent talisman ( Read more... )

Every night I follow a set pattern, which I haven't talked about too much this side of the world, wherein I read a nightly section of three specific focus books and draw one tarot card from a deck specifically used only for the purpose of my nightly devotion. I do not use it as a tarot reading so much as an oracle reading based on the art and how ( Read more... )

1. Important things of importance accomplished today -- I printed out the goddess, tarot, maiden, and Artemis pictures for my evening art projects. As well as printed out every single section of my online RCG Elements class and put it together in a binder. All before leaving work. After work, I spent an hour on my bed, with music again, making art ( Read more... )

Surprisingly, it's not for bad reasons, which most people start to poke me and make sure things are alright when too many days pass without me writing much. It's a little bit stunning to be able to glimpse three different Consumption Posts on the front page, making it three weeks worth of entries. I promise I am safe and sound and mostly fine. I'm ( Read more... )
