I miss my cat. She died about 7 years ago, but I still miss her. She was awesome.

primary pathway and intuitional guide to experiencing the transcendent, which is always "here". I arrived at these views without knowing they actually already existed and had names. How 'bout that.

everything in nature and in the structure of human thinking and intuition as archetypal of grounding metaphysical realities we can only glimpse but we can deeply feel. I believe everything and everyone are fundamentally connected (that means more than the words would suggest). To me nature is a >>>

So a newer follower calls me "honey" Ok - I respond "honey" ? with a frowny face. Another follower clues him in that I do not prefer that kind of familiarity. So he posts again and calls me "not-Honey". Really? Going that far out of one's way to be a smartass is not impressive. Bye-Bye.

Fireflies are amazing this evening - the ones that blink in twilight were at their peak tonight I think. We're sipping blackberry moonshine and enjoying them. Al and Sophie return to the SC lowcountry tomorrow...

end of everything but when you are downstream that bend looks like the beginning. So it is with life.

Sitting on the porch here I have wonderful sunset views and beautiful afterglows often with the fireflies coming out during them. Sitting here tonight sipping my home made blackberry moonshine with Al and Sophie and with Jia I come to a realization. Not only do I not want to leave this place >>>>

I am not really that much "browner" here than I am most of the time in IRL. I can get a little lighter over a cold winter indoors. Growing up I was often referred to as "the brown girl" by people who did not know me and assumed to be Hispanic.

I used a dropped bass string alternate tuning on this piece to give more bass and resonance. The "lead" notes played in third position on the D and G strings to give them softness instead of bite.

Not wearing makeup here other than lip stick... wish my nails had been in better shape, and polished, though

The mountains valleys plains and deserts, the trees and grasses and wild flowers, the streams and rivers, seas and oceans, the sun and wind and rain and snow - "all creatures great and small" - these and everything else in all of nature, all of "Creation", these are all "God's Word".

Our "Cottage basement" session music is something that I am really loving. Many would feel that it has religious overtones. If you are someone who has experienced church hurt or are otherwise triggered by religion-adjacent stuff probably not for you. If you are religious you may enjoy it as long >>>

that they have an innate right to destroy something like a nest of bees because it is "inconvenient".... we are so disconnected from nature and from the divine in nature that we have become morally corrupted - this same utilitarian mindset toward nature permeates our morality economics and politics

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” W. B. Yeats The magic isn’t hiding. Sometimes we’re simply moving too quickly to notice it. Today, what if we slowed down just enough to catch one small glimmer? 🧡 #gratitude #glimmer Art by joyfulsmolthings

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit to gain access to the state's unredacted copy of its statewide voter registration list. DOJ is now 0-11 in these cases. Elias Law Group is undefeated. It may be time to invoke the mercy rule. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

In case anyone still had doubts about who owns and runs him...

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

It's funny to see Europeans complain about the hydration break they put into soccer. In American Sports we have something called a "TV timeout", which is when the ref blows his whistle and stops the game because the billionaire who owns the team wants more money.

According to Vincent Price, when he and Peter Lorre went to view Bela Lugosi's body during Bela's funeral, Lorre, upon seeing Lugosi dressed in his famous Dracula cape, quipped, "Do you think we should drive a stake through his heart just in case?".

Over the last week, my 20-month-old realized that she could put two words together to form proto-sentences. So when she saw a dog at the beach chasing a ball: "Dog ball!" Or today: "Water rain!" And she's so proud of herself! Like she discovered a whole new world. Which in a sense, she has.

OK, I'm not losing it. I was looking for a GIF of Jack Sparrow and couldn't find one under his name, pirate, Black Pearl. None to be found.
