Today's random bibliomancy from...what else...Earth Prayers

Soil for legs
Axe for hands
Flower for eyes
Bird for ears
Mushroom for nose
Smile for mouth
Songs for lungs
Sweat for skin
Wind for mind
Just enough

--Nanao Sakaki


What a great image...I like this blessing, particularly.

OK...so I was posting to daurdabla's LiveJournal about this whole Loyalty Day brouhaha. *deep sigh* So I went back and actually read the Bill of Rights because (a) I wanted to make sure I quoted the First Amendment accurately (my all time favorite, just so you know) and (b) because I have Google on my home page and I'm not afraid to use it.

Just in case you haven't read the Bill of Rights lately, I encourage everyone to READ them, and not to make assumptions. It's much more instructive. If you don't want to spend time googling, I am posting this link as a public service: Legal Information Institute

In any event, after reading through the Bill o' Rights this time, I've decided that the underappreciated 9th amendment is going to be my 1st runner up for favorite amendment.

"Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. "

Words to live by.

Finally got some pictures....

For those of you who are following the mini-series of my life, some of you expressed a desire to actually see the Big Ugly Moon Crown (TM) presented to me upon the occasion of my 3* initiation by the incomparable lindalee.

I still don't have pictures of me actually wearing it...although I have reason to believe that at least one is floating around somewhere. But I have taken...and more importantly...uploaded some pictures so you'll have a taste of just how...impressive...this BUMC is. There's also a picture of the back, with the rainbow shoelace ties which are what make this crown particularly magical. :->
