my blogging has of late taken a turn. this one was founded when i was a very different person than now - and i'm hoping to experiment with some new thoughts and perceptions.
i had originally decided to blog once a day for one year when i created this - and this is my 365th post. yes, it took me more than one year - but i don't think it's coincidence that today is the day i feel ready to move.
this is my new blogging home:

Perspective.
Matthew Fox part one - I am confused.
He is charismatic and a wonderful human being and I am glad he is on the planet doing good work. I have read most of his books, and I am impressed at his ability to see common threads in many traditions.
All that having been said, I was surprisingly underwhelmed this evening. Why is that exactly?

You will say Christ saith this, and the apostles say this, but what canst thou say? Art thou a child of Light and hast thou walked in the Light, and what thou speakest is it inwardly from God?
Margaret Fell, quoting from her first encounter with George Fox
Not to get all Quakerly here..... but I think I might finally be done with lots of time romanticising the experiences and efforts of others. I can garner information, but wisdom needs to be developed from an inner sense of self now. Perhaps I am being overly critical - but this really has little to do with Fox or anybody else. Matthew Fox, that is.... might have more to do with George Fox.... hmmmmm.....
Tommorrow is a day-long creativity awakening something-or-other. We shall see how that goes - starting to reminding me of CCT! In addition, many fFriends were there, so the sharing has been good.Happy May!
Tra la! It's May!
The lusty month of May!
That lovely month when ev'ryone goes
Blissfully astray.Tra la! It's here!
That shocking time of year
When tons of wicked little thoughts
Merrily appear!It's May! It's May!
That gorgeous holiday
When ev'ry maiden prays that her lad
Will be a cad!It's mad! It's gay!
A libelous display!
Those dreary vows that ev'ryone takes,
Ev'ryone breaks.
Ev'ryone makes divine mistakes
The lusty month of May!
