I'm obviously off to a slow start in this Blogging adventure ... I've spent the last month trying to get back into 'work' mode. You see, I have summers off because I work in a school system so when its time to get back into gear its like re-orienting myself all over again. I believe in having time to myself and when UI no longer do ... it takes getting used to.

So I spent a month focusing at the task at hand, doing various Craft related things and being more social then usual. I'm not a social person, I don't like socials - I could be a happy hermit, except I do have a few folks I'd miss :) When I refer to Craft , I'm usually refering to my pagan lifestyle, mindset and other bits of mystism that I find important or curious in my spiritual development. I am always willing to converse about Craft and spirituality ... and philosophy! Its my favorite kind of conversation - I know nothing of sports and am volitile when discussing politics & religion. I almost always have an opinion, popular or not and if I don't theres a reason why, lol

I'm home sick with a cold today but am heading back to work tomorrow, like it or not. I'm hoping that getting the cold over with now in order to get a flu shot will benefit the long run. Last year I suffered many bouts of respiratory illnesses and want to avoid the same this year. I've never had a flu shot so I'm not sure what to expect.

Anyways ... I built a labyrinth last week for a Pagan Harvest Festival. It was a really nice 3 circuit square made from birdseed. I laid it out, filled in the seed, smudged it then 'opened' it to the energy under it. Now, I guess I should point out that though my blog is more a reflection of life and the mazes we sometimes find ourselves wandering, I want my Life to be a labyrinth because they are 'good things' it won't hurt you like a maze can. Mazes have pitfalls and dead ends - labyrinths are a single path that winds smoothly inward than turns and moves back out. I love labyrinths. They fascinate me and I love making them, especially big ones outside!! As a practicing pagan I believe that building a labyrinth with hand & heart is a good thing :) I wish I had taken pictures of this one.

I'm currently trying to get on track with my fitness program again but am completely unwilling to exercise when I'm sick - the best you'll get is a walk. Hopefully this clears up before the weekend. I could restart on the weekend and still get some rest. This is the plan.

Keep smilin'

Betwixt the Sea & Sky

　It lies there, just at the edge,

gleaming, between rhyme and reason.

Come, walk up to the ledge,

step out of time and season.

　

A place of Second Sight,

full of potential and wonder.

A place where secrets do delight,

and the soul soars yonder.

　

Come, look here with me,

Open thy minds eye.

Betwixt the sea,

and betwixt the sky.

　

Its halls illuminate　our　sight,

with spires of hope to fill the space.

There lies a land of light,

the　Seekers sacred place.

　

Betwixt sea and sky,

where magic is queen

Our hearts and minds will fly

to a place never before seen.

Looking at the ledge

I decided to start this blog because I wanted a place to put my thoughts without hesitation ... talk about the things that are important to me in my Life, without seeing the glazed look of the trapped and disinterested. I find that when you spend so much time fixing folks and serving ideals that you can't always just say what you want to ... I figured in here, I can keep track of myself and actually say what I really mean to say ... I can even discuss the stranger side of life without worrying about freaking other folks out in my nearest vicinity. I think that from here I can stetch my wings ...
