You are on the ball today, fayte.
did you already drink your coffee?  Thoughts...hmmm...thinking about people who chose a lone life, rather than a life of expectation and 'normalcy'. Creative women of the past -- Emily Dickinson, Christina Rossetti.
Mainly a bit awed by the extremism of their isolation. (Emily especially). But then, those were different times, when extremism was the only way, since such women were considered 'old maids' and ostricized for their difference. Also thinking a lot lately about interrelationships between people. Cliques, divisions...the influence of.
I'm grateful, and with a strong respect for those in my life present and past, who looked only at me (my loving actions and deeds) unswayed by outside judgements to define their perceptions of me. Also looking back with sadness, at the ones who were so easily swayed. Thinking of how we project our greatest fears onto others, so quickly....how fine a line it is sometimes when it comes to faith. (my ex-husband the greatest influence of those thoughts) Also thinking about the pullings of negative frequencies. What a struggle it is sometimes just to let go, with faith, flowing into the currents that would spiral us onwards. Why do we fight the current and why does it seem the 'tests' increase in our lives, the closer we feel to feeling/living our Truth and Soul? Also, thinking about Trust and Love, and anxiety attacks and blessed friends who walk us through them, calming us.  and more, more, more, and I'm still drinking my coffee. Help!    IP: Logged |

Hi Ladies I was just thinking about my favorite Spring-time Greek Mythology story... A Greek myth tells of Demeter, the Goddess of the earth, and her daughter, Persephone. The girl was abducted by Hades, the ruler of the Underworld, and her absence brought about a famine on earth through the failure of the crops. Hades was therefore moved to restore Persephone to her mother, but because she had eaten a pomegranate in the underworld she was bound to return to Hades for as many months of each year as there were seeds of the pomegranate caught in her mouth (These are the 4 months of the year that we know as Winter!). In joy at her annual return, the earth (Demeter) brings forth her fruits and flowers. Which brought my thoughts to the Holiday this weekend. "The name Easter comes from an ancient European goddess of the dawn called Eostre by the Anglo-Saxons and Ostara by the Germanic peoples. She is also known as Eostra, Eostrae, Eostar, Eastre, Easter, Estre, Eástre, and Austra by various European peoples (Also Inanna!). Her name means "movement towards the rising sun" and is related to the Indo-European root word Aus which means "to shine". The English words estrus and estrogen are also derived from her name. She was considered the goddess of the growing light and spring, associated with fertility and celebrated with a festival of rebirth. One story has her entertaining children by performing a trick that changed her pet bird into a rabbit. This rabbit then laid colored eggs that she gave to the children. Given the history of these ideas which date back to at least 2000 years before the Christian era, it should be no surprise that the original symbols and practices of Easter persist today, just as our ancestors once celebrated them. The name of this festival, itself, shows its heathen origin. There also is some historical connection existing between the words "Easter" and "East," where the sun rises. Traditions associated with the festival of the Teutonic fertility Goddess survive in the Easter rabbit and colored eggs."

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

salome, that was so kind to say.
thank you. "Heaven doesn't want me and Hell is afraid I'll take over and start a rehab for the damned!" fayte, so very true! No, never seen The Hours. Worthy of checking out, though? Always meant to read more about Virginia Woolfe. What I've heard of her, she was a creative, courageous, unconventional imprint of her time. Interesting stuff there, Hexxie.
Love the Myths. Especially the psychological revealments behind the motivations of the Gods/Goddesses. They were so human in the extreme with their passions and jealousies--anger and vengence. I always thought it was intriguing that the Greeks would see Divine Beings in such a way. So interesting the stark contrast between their weaknessness and Ultimate Power, yet regardless of the contridiction, so revered and feared by mortals. Have a Lovely Day Every One. IP: Logged |

I'm feeling very depressed today. Everything seems to be getting on my nerves. Well, work mostly. One of my bosses is an Aries, and I'm a Sagittarius and well, she likes to "ram" into me a lot...I feel bruised from spiritual head to toe today....I hate being depressed..it depresses me even further. And I'm at work and really need to be working but I don't want to... *cries* IP: Logged |

Hold on. It will get better!
My day has been weird.
Started out great!
Then took a horrible nose dive and then it climbed back up to even better than this morning!
what a steep roller coaster!
And an old friend appeared on my doorstep!
YAY!
Then another will be calling tonight!
And I made two NEW friends on top of all that!
What a freaky day!

"Did you ever see the movie, "The Hours"?

Awesome movie... it reflects the true nature of life... "someone has to die in order for others to learn to appreciate life more; it is contrast." "To look life on the face... always to look life on the face... and to know it for what is... atlast to love for what it is... and then to put it away..... always the years between us, always the love... always THE HOURS" Words of wisdom and What a BRILLIANT movie and what an awesome performance by Nicole Kidman,Juliane Moore and Maryl Streep; Nicole Kidman sure deserved her oscar that year... Hey I have just wrote this poem what do you all think: ~*~*~*~*
He claps his hands with crooked hands
Always in the dark he stands
In search for answers to embrace
He finds laughter, which leaves a pain He looks to the heavens and hears a sound
And follows a road which he never finds

Nice poem
Evokes in me that sense of it being the journey, the appreciation of each nuance that is important, not the destination.
Once one stops, they stop moving towards new experiences and new discoveries of life and themselves and it all.
Infinity, eternity, neverending roads, and neverending stories, neverending are the star trails of forever.

Totally enjoyed THE HOURS.
Not a movie for the already depressed to watch perhaps, but it was a story more about living then dying.
That is what I saw in it.
I have watched it at least 7 or so times.------------------

Hey, "more about living then dying" good observation, Fayte... another way of looking at it, oh. I agree that if one is depress they should not watch it! The Hours sure celbrates life... I hope my comments in regards to The Hours were not depressing. I have seen it about 10 times it is very meaningful and true...Cheers

JustAmanda I hope your day keeps being good and even better!
I woke up this morning in pain, but I am up! I am moving! And mentally/emotionally I feel optimistic and happy!
Yesterday I had two brief blindness episodes.
I stayed very still, and for the first time ever....refused to panic.
I waited and thought and pondered the treasure of eyesight, and if it were to never come back...could I cope? Could I write a book or story about seeing and even about other things we lose from time to time, and again, or what have I/we all learned by these trials and tribulations of living?
My vision slowly returned.
Usually I would wake up screaming "I'm blind again!" And totally freak out, thrashing and swinging at things, knocking stuff over! Babbling...to my husband.."will it come back? How do my eyes look to you?" And shaking and trembling and freaking out to beat the band, as the total blackness tries to swallow me! But yesterday I let it swallow me. Then I found myself swimming in that unwanted terrible darkness, and found light, and treasures.
I let go of a big chuck of looming and forboding fear, of the whats and what ifs during that episide.
Am I still afraid of the next blindness episode? Of course I am! But I will try and work through each time from a different persepective. Maybe I will still get the freak outs again. Maybe I will not. But I now know, I made it through once....without freaking. I can do it again.Well Anyhow... GOOD LOVELY RAINY APRIL DAY!
Love
Fayte
