Beltane '09

[greygirlbeast]

A happy and fine Beltane to all who wish to be wished a happy and fine Beltane. I was just looking at my entry from this day one year ago, and there's something from that entry that I'd like to repost:

For a long time, I could not allow myself to involve choice in matters of belief, as I held belief back for objective science and material concerns

Happy Beltane!

I'm pleased to have included Sonya Taaffe's (sovay) poem, "The Coast Guard," in this issue, along with the two new stories.

I am pleased to have it there.

Now that you have done Poe and Lovecraft issues, who's next?

The choice to believe is crucial, and to know what the choices are in how to define your own existence. It is amazing how many people don't choose to believe in science. I practiced Wicca ten years ago, but my spiritual practices were mostly the solititude of drawing (defining beauty and vision) and activist work(an active effort to heal pain); but learning about science has now sometimes eclipses else in my life - at least, i'm struggling for balances - and I do see it as an interface with the unknown, though its connection to stories (always a vibrant part of existence) can be stunted and hard to find. Now, I'm looking.
