I thought you all may appreciate this joke tonight.

I consider it an advanced spiritual practice to be able to laugh at all aspects of myself.

That is brilliant and it made me laugh as well.

Here and now very cold on the mtn and still in the forest. Have a warm fire burning in the stove.

Here's a bit of Imbolc lore

Imbolc is also called "Brigit's Day", in honor of the great Irish Goddess Brigit. At her shrine, the ancient Irish capital of Kildare, a group of 19 priestesses (no men allowed) kept a perpetual flame burning in her honor.

She was considered a goddess of fire, the patroness of smithcraft, poetry and healing (especially the healing touch of midwifery). This tripartite symbolism was occasionally expressed by saying that Brigit had two sisters, also named Brigit. Another form of the name Brigit is Bride, and it is thus She bestows her special patronage on any woman about to be married or handfasted, the woman being called "bride" in her honor.

The Roman Catholic Church could not very easily call the Great Goddess of Ireland a demon, so they canonized her instead. Henceforth, she would be "Saint" Brigit, patron saint of smithcraft, poetry, and healing.

Brigit's holiday was chiefly marked by the kindling of sacred fires, since she symbolized the fire of birth and healing, the fire of the forge, and the fire of poetic inspiration. Bonfires were lighted on the beacon tors, and chandlers celebrated their special holiday. The Roman Church was quick to confiscate this symbolism as well, using "Candlemas" as the day to bless all the church candles that would be used for the coming liturgical year.

Here and now, just dropped my two fur family members off to the kennels,


The good news is they were both SO happy,
i told them they were going to the PARK so
by the time we got there they were so excited,
I'm sure they will be fine and have a ball,
me on the other hand

Big weekend now to prepare for,
later peoples.

....but yet we think we can manage this Great Light wave.
I'm a ripple on the pond.

Except for Cal who loves me when I watch his back but thinks I'm spiteful for noticing what comes out of his front. He can continue to berate himself and eventually someone will toddle along to remind him again.

But it won't be me.

Resistance is very exhausting.

As is self-flagellation, which you mention.
I do understand that you hope we all survive this great wave, despite my being a detached gypsy Aquarian, with Scorpio singing cheekily whilst the twins howl at the moon.
In my classroom, bad-ass teachers never get apples.....

If I dont make it, I will still love you

Is this thread a cult or what? Is there room for another?

Each time I have peered into this thread, I had no idea what you were talking about.

Would a sensitive sarcastic person have a chance in here?

HNWH....Uhh, I guess I am typing on the keyboard, I am OK, and have it pretty good but, am certainly not satisfied with tomorrow.

Cult? No, we're a cuisine. If you like, you become a regular. If not, you get indigestion and seek medical assistance. Usually of a psychological type.

We are all retarded.

last sentence makes feel completely at home, me loves you guys

[meeradas]

sorry, wrong thread. Well, maybe not.

[Sierra]

Calz, you are my Libran bro. I understand this: You've been working 70 hour weeks, and you've been able to carve out time in synchrony with the moon, to perform a physical/spiritual fast. wtf, this is not the action of a retarded man, and YOU know darn well wtf WE all are just squiggles in contrasting colors making symbolic noises in your brain on this page and nobody but nobody but you has lived inside your head 24 hours nonstop a day for your life and could possibly know as you know, what you need to do next. And you are already doing it. And you are balancing an insane work load, and a family. And being our friend in the Village. wtf, I'm satisfied, as if it was my bloody business to be satisfied.

Big silly.

Love, Sierra

Calz has a great and astute mind. Connects all kinds of dots easily and has a great sense of humor. He is also a sensitive man, in the best of ways.

I like to consider him a brother, whether he likes it or not!

If he doesn't, he can unclog his nose in my general direction and then taunt me again.

Exactly. Just like me, a Libran, perfect. <ducking and running before the snot hits ... >

Just want to say that Sierra's post here has saved me the time to say the same to Calz. Thanks Sierra. Will you be my secretary? The pay is whatever you think you deserve. There is a cash barn across the yard...just help yourself.

Been enjoying the goodies over at the Hobbitt thread. Similar atmosphere to ours here.
I would like to suggest that thread as a meeting place for the Villagers should there ever be another ripple on the pond let alone a tsunami.

I knew a couple who walked eight hours through a jungle in Panama to visit a village of Guaymi Indians. When they arrived there was not one soul about...all had withdrawn into the forest behind their village. Then one man appeared, holding a big knife. They managed to befriend him. Soon the other villagers joined and they were accepted as guests. Today this tribe has it's own radio station...still remote, but letting the world know of their existence.

Good Morning/Evening Ulli I'd love to have a backup gathering spot, that's a great idea. Since I found this thread so quickly on arrival to Avalon, and since I don't venture into other threads too often, I'm not very good at maneuvering. Could you give me a link to that thread?

Much Love,

[ulli]

But the Hobbitt is not the only movie show around here.
Another favorite Village flick:

Much Love,

Hope you have a great day moving, 1inMany. You are now in the vortex. A kind of a birth canal, the funnel/tunnel between worlds.
Holding the energy for you here, I feel kindof like a midwife.
Your new life will bring you security and happiness you have never known before.

Here is extra love and light for the nightowls who guard the Village while the rest of us are asleep.
You never fail to give me that morning chuckle.
Love love love love light light light light ...oops sorry Modwiz...hope you're still wearing them cheap sunglasses.

[1inMany]

Awww, thank you so much Ulli. Thank you for thinking about me this morning, for giving me some sentiments that remind me to be excited today...in the 3D and beyond And, thank you for accepting me, warts and all.

All my Love,

[Marianne]

Feeling very hopeful this morning.

Yesterday, had a lunch time conversation with a friend who out of the blue started talking about what can be done to help others. I told her about Neptune in Pisces and what it means for us all.

Reading a UAB-published magazine on public health and innovative imaginings ... couple of highlights: a rural area in India where they are taking unusable old cars and making infant incubators. And in Birmingham, AL a sustainable food system that's aimed at, among other things, eliminating 'food deserts' where there are few grocery stores and prices are higher (often in areas of poverty).

There's so much we can do, and there seems to be a growing initiative now. Hello, Neptune.

I'm off to work, woo-hoo it's Friday!

Love to the village,
Marianne

For those in other parts of the world, now looking over their shoulders at Friday...
