"When the poet's pain is soothed by a liquid jewel held in the sacred chalice, upon which rests the pierced spoon, the crystal sweetness, icy streams trickle down. The darkest forest melts into an open meadow. Waves of green seduce. Sanity surrendered, the soul spirals toward the murky depths, wherin lies the beautiful madness - absinthe. "

My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind. -Albert Einstein
We perceive such a small amount of the vastness of our glory.
We will study a photograph to catch all of the details that are presented and missed at first glance.
Yet we expect to understand and know all that we encounter, without the quieting of the mind that is needed throughout our day to process the vast and amazing amounts of information that is presented to us, to find our way to enlightenment.
In finding your silence is the pathway to finding the moment of understanding to who we are and are in the process of developing to be.
Take a picture in your mind and take the time to review its magnificence.
Together we will unlock the details to our destiny by learning to understand the preciousness of the gifts we all are presented in each moment.
Ball de bastons (Catalan for "stick dance") is the name of a ritual weapon dance spread throughout Europe and the rest of the Iberian area (cossiers in Mallorca, Portuguese pauliteiros, Aragonese palotiau, Basque ezpatadantza and Spanish paloteo or troqueado). English and Welsh Morris dances are well-known relatives to these traditions. Most melodies are based on easy 2/4 rhythms. Instrumentarium includes tabor pipe, shawm or bagpipes. Some of these tunes as Villano de Zamora were strikingly popular grounds among European Renaissance and Baroque composers. Various different traditions are encompassed in the phrase, but normally the dancers will all carry one or two sticks (bastons) traditionally of holm oak, about 40-50 cm long and 5 cm thick. In the most common set, two opposite rows of dancers elaborate some patterns of stick-clashing. Sometimes, a peculiar chief character directs the movements and changes. The dancers may wear white skirts or short trousers, as well as red ribbons and ornaments.
:) When I was a child I used to dance that dance ;)
Lauren, Well first off Thank you so much for the Birthday comments, they are simply lovely!! Well there is so much to do..MY LAST DAY IN MY 30s!!!!Where do I start?? First I am going to think of my past, and the experiences and laughter I have had... Then any bad habits that I have picked up, Get rid of any dumb ideas that may seem immature and finally plan for the future.. Have a great day! Love Rachelle
This morning I got on here and my mom stopped by with tears in her eyes, I thought OMG what's wrong?? It appears as my kids beloved cat was run over! He was a black cat with a very free spirit! We named him Freedom and he certainly lived up to his name! He was breaking the lil 2's hearts, as they are 4 and 6, but would always come home in the morning for breakfast, just assumed that he had a girlfriend.Finally went to the front door for a look and to my suprise a little baby kitty black with green eyes and a reddish stripe just like her daddy! The mom was a tabby, I picked the baby up and momma just ran off of the porch. Now some might think this is a mere coincidence but I firmly believe that God takes care of us and answers the simplest of prayers! I came in with this precious lil kitty and explained to the little ones that their cat was here and wanted to live with his wife and thought perhaps we could keep his baby to love and care for..Heaven help me for my white lie but couldn't handle showing them their beloved pet ran over, hopefully God will forgive me for the lil white lie, I just kept praying Dear God what will I tell the kids when he doesn't come back! Strangest thing is that the cat was a Birthday present for Ian, (who is a Halloween baby) from his best friend. Just thought I would share my miracle that I experienced with you> Have a wonderful day and never forget to ask God for what you need no matter how insignificant it may seem, he hears our prayers and answers them! We named her "Baby Freedom". Love Rachelle
