(no subject)

I got up to go to work...I packed my meals for work...I was about to get dressed for work...when I realized that not just my throat hurt, but everything hurt, even my hair. I called in and went back to bed. I slept, but woke up three hours later (time to eat), had my snack and went back to bed. Woke up again three hours later (I sense a theme...my body is demanding what it needs). :) I'm up for now, but will probably go back to bed again in a few minutes. Maybe to read, but sleep is my friend right now. The good news is that everything doesn't hurt as much as it did at about 4am.

Although I did tweak one of my Rhiannon necklaces today. The Fand one...it was lapis lazuli and pearls. I felt that I needed to add something to indicate changeable nature (both hers and the sea's). So I took out some of the lapis beads and substituted azurite beads (blue/green combo). It's a subtle difference, but it really works for me.

This weekend I'll try to re-charge my camera's batteries so I can take pictures. Of the new tattoo as well...I'll be getting the roses colored in next Thursday.

Today's Earth Prayer

The heavens bespeak the glory of God

The firmament ablaze, a text of his works.

Dawn whispers to sunset

Dark to dark the word passes; glory, glory.

 

All in a great silence,

no tongue’s clamor—

yet the web of the world trembles

conscious, as of great winds passing.

 

The bridegroom’s tent is raised,

a cry goes up: He comes! a radiant sun

rejoicing, presiding his wedding day.

From end to end of the universe hi progress.

No creature, no least being but catches fire from him.
