    This is mostly a vegan scene here, even for the kitties.

    Indeed.

    Hopping up on the Village quay to watch the action. The other village wizards have decided it is the better part of wisdom to save their strength and let the wizard do his thing, just setting wards around the entire village so no one enters, preferring that village business be village business, and lightning bolts don't hit the sheep flocks and Marianne's goats don't get upset, and eat the entire medicine garden. Again. The village shakes a little. Calz and Sierra watch a tile fall off the B&B across the street from the quay. The sky has turned a sullen orange.

    Gazing left, I hear the grumbling and growling of the rocks deep in the earth. Lotus Blossom's cats are flowing down the hill to ward the Women's Valley to the South (where the moon ceremonies are held) while McKnao and Lucky strain to hold the valley gates open at this untimely star crossed opening. The remaining children and the volunteer emergency caretakers of the Village pour through. McKnao and Lucky leap inside and let the gates slam shut. The sun has set. Ulli and 1inMany light a fire in the women's amphitheatre pit, humming to the fire salamanders helping. The children are settled with blankets, pillows, marshmallows, and marshmallow sticks. Guitars are tuning up. Coffee and hot chocolate are brewing. Lotus Blossom's cats have set the valley wards and are leaping the walls one by one, to join McKnao and Lucky settled down by the fire.

    Sierra looks at Calz, Calz looks at Sierra. "What are you doing here Sierra?", says Calz. Sierra grins. "Calz, I am one pissed bitch, and I intend to enjoy the show. Join me in the astral realm?"

    Feeling perfectly safe, Sierra takes a deep breath, crosses her legs, closes her eyes, and sinks into the village consciousness.
    Sierra, this piece was great. As soon as you mentioned the Women's Valley, I knew the purpose before my eyes hit the following words. I love the imagery and connection evoked in your words. Connection with each other and our planetary Mother is the future I hold and project forward, and everyday it feels closer.

    Speaking of cats, i just came out of a journey for someone's
    crossed over moggy it was fascinating. I was shown where the spirit cats
    hang out, rolling technicolor meadows, butterflies and bees, very lovely.
    And a Griffin gave me golden orb to bring back as a gift.

    Was quite a deep journey too, took me ages to come back,
    still not fully with it now. ME thinks i might eat something to
    ground again.

    Course you did. You've been associating with Bagginses.

    At the BR-Inelia Sacto seminar, we formed a big circle that filled up most of the room. I felt unconnected and distant. Later in the day, we were asked to clump together in a group. Ooh. Connection. And I received a picture, a burst of a net of light over our small group, igniting. The kind of lights you'd see back in the 40s strung on wire around a dance floor, perched on the edge of a river, hot summer evening, lights glimmering on the water, heart leaping with anticipation of fun. Lights of a very friendly and homely ambiance. I think that was us. Connecting. Or perhaps just me, becoming aware of connection that is always there.

    Thank you.

    With your rockin' art work coming on line you should be a good shape then

    Breaking the mold of the "starving artist" ... but as ulli has mentioned somewhere in the village is a barn full of cash.

    (need to ask her ... I cannot find it and am too embarrassed to ask for directions ...)

    Hehehe, i will be starving for a while longer Calz, i am not materialistic at all, but a bit more crispy breathing space creating green paper is always welcome.

    I made a book, also digital smart art, its all AUM, when shopping around the small publishers and better new age stores they were very much interested, as long as they could have exclusive rights, and the work is just slapped together stuff i am no pro for sure, but i say no thank you to them.

    I ll put some of them up, wait for it. The Ultimate vibe is about to go live.. again.

    When I was still active with the Bahai community they were building the Lotus Temple in India...I nearly made it to the inauguration. Gosh...that's already twentyfive years ago. Anyway the reason for using the lotus shape was the exact same one you gave for choosing your avatar. Ulli walking down memory lane again.

    With so many changing their avatars, I finally broke down and chose one for myself.

    The lotus...roots deep in the muck, stalk that bends but does not break, flower rising above.

    When I was still active with the Bahai community they were building the Lotus Temple in India...I nearly made it to the inauguration. Gosh...that's already twentyfive years ago. Anyway the reason for using the lotus shape was the exact same one you gave for choosing your avatar. Ulli walking down memory lane again.


    That is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen...absolutely breathtaking.
