Happy Hallowe’en, Blessed Samhain

Enjoy this night of liminality and carnivale – but be safe! My view of Halloween Our Halloween traditions are just a snapshot image taken from a long history of blended beliefs, rituals and perspectives from diverse sources; some bits competed or converged with one another, while other aspects were forgotten or overwritten. I enjoy the mix of all the folkloric and religious traces as part of an appreciation of a celebratory imagination, one that nourishes the human spirit (soul /…

I like to read the Free Will Astrology reports. I have to post this week’s forecast because of the Halloween costume suggestions.

Oh YEAH. The Red Sox won the World Series! I may be living in Georgia, but the Red Sox as icon is in the blood of this Massachusetts woman. I’m thinking that they must inject something in Massachusetts babies.

Her son went through Acute Childhood Leukemia treatment last year, and we compared notes on treatments and such. I picked her…

“Be Here Now” by Ray LaMontagne Try sitting somewhere quiet and listening to this. Ahhhhhh. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl3V0dTRDvI[/youtube] Don’t let your mind get weary and confused; your will be still, don’t try.Don’t let your heart get heavy child; inside you there’s a strength that lies.

I was checking my stats this morning and discovered that I had been granted an award by Lin at Telling it Like it Is. The Break Out Blogger award was developed by Bob of Bobbarama: This award casts a spotlight on bloggers who are just beginning to draw lots of attention — the equivalent of a song with a bullet on Billboard’s Top 100 chart. Lotsa good posts. Lotsa good buzz. These bloggers are going places in a hurry. Thank…
