The poetry of presence and presence of poetry

Hello

Felt to visit here for a moment or segue or synapse of sorts.

the last few daze have been auspicious. Riding the dragon has been rhythmic.
the jazz in the background has been good and strong with just enough surprise.

Candlemas is approaching. The eve of February. Sacred to Brigid. Goddess of
Poetry, smithcraft and healing. Lighting a candle, initial sightings of spring.

want to get my digital camera fixed as soon as possible.
miss the magic of creating images instantaneously as the days dance by.
and the nights invite magic to be remembered.

The stream of eternal images is always present as poetry.

fun to have a camera too. complimentary and containing and candlemas.

symbols are transformers of consciousness.

the symbol i am dreaming into now is............................Lovely.

be well.

Awareness of Dreams during a Lunar Cycle

Leo Full Moon Approaching

Hello

Feeling strongly the importance of holding the tension of the opposites..Dancing with them really, until something new emerges. Love the artfulness and alchemy of being contained in the Full Moon opposition between Leo and Aquarius. Between Fire and Air. Sublilmely slowing down enough to feel the elemental experience. Experiencing how breath helps the fire grow strong in the inner and outer worlds. What is the right amount of fire for this day in which we find ourselves?
Are our passions in alignment with our intentions..is there spaciousness for the sheer pleasure of feeling the fire and expressing it?

Leo/Fire - my own personal creative expression - the exquisite fire passion pleasure of it.
Aquarius - the air/mental/abstract capacity to communicate this vision so that it touches and is offered to life for the greater good of all. the wild/idiosyncratic and simultaneously humanistic expresion of the leo fire.

will publish this without spell checking because computer tends to detonate very unexpectedly these days.

peace and blessings to all

Memory - I am remembering

In the Tarot the Priestess works through the Hermit. Memory is fascinating and exceedingly important. In Relation Ship how does each person's memory create what has been and what might been..t.s. Eliot.. "What might have been and has been points to the same end which is always present. " "Time past and time present are both perhaps present in time future and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present all time is irredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction remaining perpetually present only in a world of speculation.

There is pleasure in remembering that and in remembering The flow of the Major Arcana, the major secrets..And how each card is a doorway and a window and a way to remember and amplify what is stirred each time the card is pulled.

now in the Hermit, which i am teaching Thursday night.
it seems that on the top of the mountain there is remembering and then there are the memories that sometimes weave in extremely pleasurably and other times are elusive.

and there is of course the mysterium magnum.

tarot question for this night - what am i almost remembering that is crucial for the well being of this incarnation and all further incarnations.

The Haiku of each moment a breath at a time

Yoga Cave Meditation

Just began Well of Lost Plots

Found these books by Jasper Fforde when I was taking pictures of windows, doors , hands and floors..saw lost in a good book on the floor of Duttons.

has been a very surreal dinner party this last week with librarian of library i've never been to saying i dropped a tape in thier return bin that i've never checked out. in trying to clear this up..because the phone message she left was leaking bad verbs it was dark and i brought my stun gun which was dropped and destroyed as i ran across the street..either could have died in the traffic after the deluge of recent rain or sacrificed the stun gun..in any case that was one of a whole llitany of irreconcilable lullaby's sung to sheherazade underwater just past first quarter moon.

received a prescription for capsules that said capsules and had some liquid that they told me to quickly close tightly and throw away someplace that didn't have a name.

all chapters begin with zero no thing and well..

a good book saves lives and writing saves lives and living saves lives
and live well this night and day and enjoy the Imagination..it is a Star.

blessings and peace

lost in a good book and mental ambuscades that...

Hello

just listened on tape to Lost in a Good Book. wild really - a very fun ride.
Monty Python meets hitchikers's guide to the galaxy. Tuesday Next is the detective heroine.. her husband has unfortunately been eradicated which means he doesn't exist although she is pregnant. And jurisfiction is only part time work...let me laugh out loud quite alot..wonderful fun literary playfullness and an impetuousity that is fecund and awash with ambuscades and plot wild rides that end up somewhere sneaky and pleasurable and I so love getting lost i a good book.

mine is coming along well by the way.

enjoy the ride this weekend. more to be revealed in next blog..get thrown offline so quickly need to make quicker roundabouts in here to avoid premature detonation

Tis to Create

Tis to create, and in creating live
a being more intense
that we endow with what form our fancy
gaining as we give
the life we image

lord byron

memorized on the train in Sweden last summer

tried to import my magnetic poetry creation but cut and paste detonated instead of denuded and duende was not yet part of this Alchemical mix.

happy gloaming to all and to all a good night.

Memory, Remembring and the Stream of Eternal Images

Remembering is knowledge. Memory attributed to the High Priestess
of the Tarot, connected to the moon..lunar cycle, lunar knowing.
in the tarot the priestess works through the hermit to effect the tower.
we remember in the priestess
we reach a mountian top(capricorn) hermit which is actually virgo though we are in a capricorn cyle..just past capricorn new moon.
and this remembering - and holding our lantern to guide our way...our soul's truth which we follow up the mountain a step at a time.sometimes only the light of the lantern to show our way.
and this lightning is the lightning bolt in the tower.

on that note - memory is magic. and elusive and creative.
the creative imagination of today is like quicksilver in the memory.
remember this day with three different memory explorations.
what i remember that was an epiphany today
what pictures i would take if i could take three from today
what emotional stream wanted to and wants to be creatively expressed and explored.

an ephiphany today is - realizing chair yoga can be extremely freeing.
ephiphany awakening. now as i type remembering the awareness of body breath mind as a doorway - bringing my practice to the chair and to the mat.

what pictues would i take today. i did take some of the whimsical clouds with gothic stormy clouds hovering close.

what emotional stream wants to be creatively expressed and explored
my book which i will re turn to after i take a long warm bath.

blessings and peace

Almost Capricorn New Moon

Wonderfully rainy. Taught the Strength card last night. Rhythm and repetition is what is required to dance well with the lion/kundalini/aspect of psyche that is connected to everything. How to partner in a way that works..Rhythm, repetition..Leo ruled by the sun..The sun is now in Capricorn. Taming and freeing simultaneously.strong desires and yet strongly directed desires.

published something in the alchemy section of this site on the Capricorn New Moon. In the program it is absolutely published. On my site it is not yet to be found.
not thrilled but there is only so much one can do and then it either manifests or it does not.
one of the teachings of the lion to care very deeply for what you are doing your best to bring into manifestation..To do all that you can do...And then to leave the results in the hands of the Mysterium Magnum.

a bit on Capricorn New Moon. It is Monday Morning January 10th at 4:03am.
conjunct chiron. A step at a time up the mountain - honoring the wounded healer.
transforming the lead of Saturn into gold. Solid foundation. Grounded and willing
to do what is necessary to give allegiance to the deep Self and to make our way up the mountain
to find the treasure and to share it.

blessed be
