Where DOES evil come from? You can’t look anywhere in our society today and not feel the palpable, boiling, nasty, disgusting, horrendous, obnoxious EVIL that has overtaken it. When did human decency disappear? Why? I spend most of my time ignoring this world-confusion. I see it as an optical illusion, a chimera, not at all…

Centering
I keep asking myself this question: Is life difficult because it’s difficult or am I making it difficult? I’ve always believed that we all create our own reality by what we think. I still believe this with my whole being – if I manage to think about it ………………… and not just react habitually. One…
The God of the Sea
Life may get a little foggy today as Neptune stations and turns retrograde until December. Knowing what to expect is an exciting prospect. Neptune, the God of the Sea, Poseidon ……….. the Ruler of Pisces, the wishy-washy dreamer, building castles in the air, believing everything you hear, horribly intuitive dreams and waking experiences …………… these…
Be Here Now ………….
Believe me when I say, that being here now is the only way. I know how hard it is. Keeping yourself focused on where you are …………….. not where you were ……………………. where you want to be ……………….. where you think you’d be happier ……………… not easy. Like anything else, being here now, in the…
Mercury Backwards ………….
It’s cold. I know it will warm up again, but not much and not for long. My tomatoes will either get ripe, or not. In case you think you’re losing your mind, you’re not. Mercury went retrograde (this makes no sense but it only LOOKS like it’s going backward and it does this several times…
On the Subject of Creativity …………..
I have a bit of a problem. See, The Shepherd decided we need a new wood stove. I agree 100% and in fact it is almost ready to hook up. I’m hoping it will take him a few more days because I KNOW HE WILL GO GET WOOD AND MAKE A FIRE. And it is…
Cleaning House – Well, Part of the House
I am only posting that picture in order to shame myself into organizing (cleaning) my sewing room, a/k/a studio. I have a problem with the word studio. It sounds like I’m a productive artist person – which tickles my guilt bone – because I SHOULD BE A PRODUCTIVE ARTIST PERSON and instead I am a…
Mercury Retrograde and Being a Pain
I like doing this stuff, you know. Messing with colors, sprinkling on dyes and saturating the cloth with soda ash …………….. waiting FOREVER to see what it looks like – I love it. Then I like actually DOING something with the fabric. I’ve been on a garment sewing kick since 2008 when I bought my…
Just Being Here Now
Being where I am, and not being where I’m not – that’s my recipe for living. You could call it mindfulness, total meditation or Zen. Whatever you call it, for me it is the only way I can function. And it isn’t easy, paying attention. It doesn’t matter whether I’m depressed, angry, ecstatically happy or…
