MUSINGS

I spent the afternoon reveling with the locals and a myriad of foreigners for our first festival of the year.  The week has been so odd and surreal that I needed something to reinforce my lust for life in general.  The week itself contained the deaths of some people who were seemingly too young to go, a progressed illness in a close friend, a change in my career path, and the potential dissolve of a friendship that was fairly new.  Surreal doesn't even describe it all.  The universe has always shown me when I'm going down the correct path and when I make a life change it always encompasses so much more than I expected.  This time is no different.  Each thing that changes directly correlates to the other, for every thing I give up there is always something that comes to take it's place.  Doors opening and closing if you will. Death = Transition I've never been one to believe the phrase "gone too soon", or "too young  to die".  I'm not ...

I know, I've been on a tear lately about sex and the Feminine Divine and all that.  The subject is hitting closer and closer to home as my daughter matures.  You see I didn't have much sex education growing up, as a matter of fact, I had practically none.  Had it not been for my sister breaking out some library books for me around 13 or 14 years old, I'm not sure where exactly I'd have been.  By the time I was 19 I'd had plenty of extra-curricular and plenty of boyfriends and had never been to a gynecologist.  Had no idea what they did or why.  I was terrified.

The Da Vinci Code came out in 2006, I saw it when it hit DVD.  It didn't register with me right away for some reason.  I mean it did....but not the way the story does now.  I recently read the book, it was free from Amazon last month in celebration of the story being 10 years old.  Maybe it's because I hadn't seen the movie in years or perhaps they really did change that much of the story to make the movie..I don't know.  I do know it hit me like a brick wall.  Perhaps I read it when I was meant to. According to various prophesies the world itself wasn't supposed to end on December 21st this past year, we simply moved into a new Astrological age.  One that brings the feminine back into focus.  Having a daughter makes it all the more prevalent for me. I have been more focused lately on the Sacred Feminine than ever.   I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised by the revelation, I work in a male dominated, male oriented field.  I have b...
