Earth Prayer for the day...

Earth our mother, breathe forth life

            all night sleeping

            now awaking

            in the east

            now see the dawn

 

Earth our mother, breathe and waken

            leaves are stirring

            all things moving

            new day coming

            life renewing

 

Eagle soaring, see the morning

            see the new mysterious morning

            something marvelous and sacred

            though it happens every day  

            Dawn the child of God and Darkness

 

–Pawnee Prayer

 

well, still sick.  not quite as logy as yesterday, so I will go into the office for the morning at least.  besides, I need more ginger for my ginger tea.  that's been helping.

an interesting and very fun book...

I just finished reading Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation by Olivia Judson. It's a fascinating exploration of the evolutionary biology of sex written in the form of advice to the lovelorn. It's got accurate information, is written in a witty, entertaining style, and hey, you get to find out all of the diversity of sexual practices throughout the species.

It reminds me a bit of my high school biology teacher, J.S. Profeta. He was completely whacked, but engaged us in the class...I still remember him leaping up onto the black science tables and demonstrating the lobster mating dance. That's something all these years later. That, and he told us how to make bathtub gin. :)

But if you've ever wondered why certain sexual practices have developed, this is a book for you.
