I’ve been running a lot as of late. The princess is involved in Girl Scouts, a worthwhile community service group that exposes her to other girls, and gets her involved in the thinking of others(always a good thing). So since most in this area celebrate Christmas, I too, am involved in that preparation. It’s not […]

Do I or don’t I?
I’ve been privy to some talk lately about when, how and where to share the inner workings of one’s path. The general consensus of many who know their shit is that they don’t. It’s not that they (or I) want to keep people from knowing exactly, but it’s more of a “I worked damned hard to get […]
RAIN
Today it rains. Cold, wet, falling as if a bucket has been dumped from the heavens Dark skies, winds cutting right through me as if the sword it wields holds power to cut me in half. Today it rains My body curses it with all it holds inside its shell Pain exudes like the nerves […]
Definition of me? Not like you’re thinking
It always seems that people have a way of defining others. I understand that to label others is a reference point, so that one can either decide who we are in relation to their world. What I don’t understand and probably never will is why they want to force others to fit into a round […]
It’s a holiday..get over it
This is the time of the year when people’s minds and hearts turn to celebrating holidays of their particular paths. For the Jews, its Hannukah, Kwanzaa for African-Americans, Christmas for the Christians, and Yule for those of a pagan persuasion.

You’re not listening
I pop in and out of various groups sometimes, depending upon what I see going on . Some pagan groups, some with rootwork , hoodoo, voudoo..depending on interest. So I was sitting yesterday, and saw the notifications pop up where someone was in someone’s group asking for assistance in using a site to buy some […]
THE GIFT
Today I received a gift. I knew it was coming, the giver had told to be expecting it. And yet when I picked it up in the mail, I was like a child at christmas. Silly I guess that a small remembrance from someone would make me smile, and want to tear into it eagerly […]
SPIRIT WINDS
The desert is dry, caked from the lack of moisture of any kind. Even the normal desert life is absent in the stillness. Those that once roamed here leave evidence of their existence..bones bleached white by the sun that is white hot fire in the sky beating down on all that dares to enter this […]
Memories caught unawares
Tomorrow is Veteran’s Day. Coming from a military background that means quite a bit to me. My dad was in the Army before I was born…went to Germany when they were putting up the Berlin wall in 1959 and did two tours in Viet Nam, came home and did a year of funeral detail when […]
RIGHTING THE BOAT
So yesterday was more than a little frustrating for me. The princess had been sick half the night causing us both to lose sleep, back to the doctor and more meds and lab works..Stressful for all concerned because she hates needles..but the girl at the clinic was extremely good and Brae came through it very […]
