I appear to be on a kick where I open this book every day, just to see which prayer, blessing or invocation comes up. I wonder how long it will last...



Sowing the seed,
my hand is one with the earth.

Wanting the seed to grow,
my mind is one with the light.

Hoeing the crop,
my hands are one with the rain.

Having cared for the plants,
my mind is one with the air.

Hungry and trusting,
my mind is one with the earth.

Eating the fruit,
my body is one with the earth.

--Wendell Berry
[personal profile] sabrinamari rocks my socks because she is a highly intelligent, well spoken woman, passionate about her subject, her teaching and her work.

She is an amazing priestess who gives off a serene, gentle and loving energy that enfolds people in its warmth.

She has a wonderful presence, focusses her attention wholly in the moment and with the people she is sharing space with.

She is generous with her time, her knowledge and her lovely stinky oils.

She is BEAUTIFUL, loving and supportive.

And most important of all, she is a complete and utter BABE, and I am constantly in awe of her willingness to grow and to learn.
[personal profile] tigira rocks my socks because she has a warm and beautiful smile. Because she has a quick wit and an evil sense of humor.

She rocks my socks because she plays a wonderful flute (although, granted, I've only heard Morris music so far...but it was lovely!).

She rocks my socks because she's smart, organized and hardworking.

She rocks my socks because she's a good friend and sounding board.

She rocks my socks because she's a beautiful, passionate woman...inside and out.

I'm lucky to know [personal profile] tigira
I've seen quite a number of people post this. I'd have asked from them, because, really, I guess I do need a bit of a boost. However, I don't feel that anyone that has posted it really knows me well enought to be able to do it...

But, since one way to boost your ego is to boost others', here goes:


The let-me-boost-yer-ego meme

1. Reply to this post if you want/need me to tell you how cool you are!

2. Watch my journal over the next few days for a post just about you and why I think you rock my socks.

3. Post these instructions in your journal and give your friends a much needed dose of love and adoration!


of course, if you ask me, you'll have to be ready for whatever I might post...and I've been told I have a vivid imagination

I'm having a moment of lust...and now must go on an obsessive search. I got a catalog that had RED hiking boots! Now I MUST have a pair of red hiking boots for the winter. Really!

But not THOSE boots, because they were nylon with bad treads and would probably fall apart after five wearings.

must find RED hiking boots. Not an easy task when you wear size 11 or 12 shoes. really.


EDIT: I found that Doc Martins has a pair of cherry red boots in sizes up to 15! So now I just have to save up, and my lust will be assuaged. *wanders off to dream of cherry red hiking boots*
