beltaine

Well an another holiday is coming up this last week was Sommerblot and this week circle will celebrate Beltaine. Sommerblot my husband and I celebrated quietly at home. Next saturday we will go to circle. I need to find a recipe for the pot luck to make a vegetarian and meat dishes. I am being inspired just by writing. I think that eggplant dish will be good and maybe a meat loaf and if I have enough money a cake. I like to cook for others instead of being a mover and shaker. WEll Happy Beltaine to all mp and bb.

needlepoint and the pope

I have been avoiding the the news because it seemed stuck on the pope and the Little house on the Prairie Cult in texas. So I am woefully out of touch with the real world and that is fine with me. I spent my time watching forensic psychology shows. And now bored with that I have stooped to Showbiz Tonight. If it were not for Wire in the Blood, Monk and Profiler I would get rid of the sat.. But I have new glasses and I picked up my needlepoint again after winning 1st place in a creative arts festival. doing needlepoint goes quicker with background noise. Well Merry part and Blessed be.

abuse, forgiveness and rebellion

There are really two ways that a person may react to abuse, especially someone recovering from it one that has occurred in childhood they may Identify with the abuser so much that all they want to hear are the empty platitudes that bureaucrats give to get out trouble and pacify the natives or they may reach the point were they decide to fight no matter what refuse to let go of their protective fighting spirit. In our world unfortunately mankind has been raised by society when it comes to authority and its misbehaviour to be forgiveness addicts. There are things that cannot be forgiven because the sociopath that did the misdeed will never comprehend the act and the forgivee is never able to rest because they will never be at peace that it will not happen again. People that are rogues work in silence and unless they are important to the powers that be they receive no protection. To be shuttled around and around to the target group that the victimizer enjoys hurting means that the authority is equally sociopathic in its desire to keep face. Kinda like the way the Japanese are trying to hide in some schools the fact that they bombed Pearl Harbour.

back to normal

Well I am back to normal the drugs wore off and no fairies or shadow people hiding under the bed. the cold weather and my husbands surgery snapped me back into reality. The protesters trying to put out the Olympic flame gave me a great deal of pleasure and I hope that the Buddhist world-wide realize that westerners do care for them. Catching Jim Carrey speaking about Burma was great to he look incredibly nervous but sincere and brave. I read a book The Gift of inner Peace I bought in a bin at Barnes and Noble it was comforting and got back to my Buddhist half. I view my faith as shaped by Buddhism, yoga and Wicca. But Wiccan I stay as long as it is an oppressed minority. I guess in this life that is my path to walk a line between east and west as my genetic code is. mp bb
