The Peace of Wild Things

Life is running wounded, because unless we stay alone in a stall, we'll tangle with the barbs of circumstance, love, and humans. Godly life is remembering, even wounded, we can run and live and love.
A lot of this post resonated with me, including:
I long-ago quit worrying (most of the time) about who God moves in and out of my life.
I have also quit worrying (most of the time) about who God moves in and out of my life.  I've known a lot of people, some casually, some deeply.  Some I still talk to.  Others have gone their own way.  But I keep leaving the stall, running, living, loving.

Peace be with you.  There is peace in wild things, in movement, as well as in rest.

I love this post too. Just last night I got an instant message from an old friend and we discussed the "ebb and flow" of such things.

Your post is another confirmation.

Thanks!

You are so right, Msgr! We are stilled, slowed to a different pace, and then we can truly see the wild, racing spirit of the Wind!

100 books to read

I went and found this over on my old livejournal. I've decided to start working on the list again.  I have read a few of the books since I posted the original list in July 2008, but I'll update it as I go along. "Someone" reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed. It's not the Big Read though -- they don't publish books, and they've only featured these books so far. In any event... 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you started but did not finish. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these people who’ve read 6 or less and force books upon them. The Time Traveller's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood Lord of the Flies - William Golding Life of Pi - Yann Martel The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett Finished: 4/21/2022 The ...

Fire Wand & Golden Dawn

I have completed the construction of my fire wand, finally. I'll be consecrating it this weekend/next week, either on Sunday or Tuesday. Haven't decided which day is more auspicious, yet. I'm about to start taking Golden Dawn degrees (about = sometime this year I get my 0=0). I've gotten on a GD forum, and they're perplexed that I've started with my weapons already. I'm simply working on them as the HGA directs. Edit: Had it explained to me by a member of the forum. These are supposed to be adept's (5=6) tools, so making them early is jumping the gun a bit. I'll simply have to make others/reconsecrate them when that time comes. The Abremelin working is going well. I agree with Steven Guth that the working should take longer than not. The purification process is intensifying. I've moved from simple prayers morning and evening to an Invocation of the Archangels, Pater Noster, Heschayist practice, Pater Noster, Dismissal. I'm actuall...
