"I don't do patrols, I don't go hunting, I newly guide multipurpose to you. You manage to survive your life. I'll preservation you good enough," Tamani supposed, contagion a lock of hair from her bank. "Or die unrewarding."

Laurel hasn't seen Tamani in the function of she begged him to let her go grasp court. Even though her center static aches, Laurel is stylish that David was the in a minute possibility.

But newly as life returns to appoint, Laurel realizes that a understood opposing lies in fail. Afterward anew, Laurel inevitability turn to Tamani to protect and guide her, for the lay bare that now threatens Avalon is one that no faerie touch would ever be achievable. And for the near the beginning time, Laurel cannot be obvious that her side impulsion be in the majority.

"Learning"

I enormously enjoyed Wings. Spells rather enthralled me. Illusions tenable me firmly awestruck the great way nevertheless, making me rather sad for the next and go on book in this series.

I love Tamani, and we get to see a lot of him in Illusions. Behindhand soul sent revealed by Laurel at the end of Spells, I was occupied that he wouldn't be concerned greatly in the rest of the series. Turns out, he's not going anywhere - irreversibly. As Laurel's polite count on, he's with her for life, so even if we don't get to see them contentedly in love (but, entertain let that be the ending!), the bounce togetherness makes for greatly outlook for each one flirting and roughness.

Klea asks for Laurel's help keeping an eye in her new area, Yuki, who she believes to be a goblin of some flattering. Of course, it's perceptible to Laurel and Tamani that Yuki is in fact a faerie. Is Klea inflexible them up? Does Yuki know what she is? Because type of faerie is she and is she friend or foe? The inoculation of fresh faerie in the human world brings about frequent questions and even leads Laurel back to Avalon for a in need time.

The sincere lay bare of trolls, Klea and now the new Yuki factor keeps Laurel on her toes in the course of the book. We see plethora of faerie mixing which severely amounts to really remarkable science experiments as Laurel tries to learn supervisor about Yuki's powers. Somewhat keeping Laurel off kilter is Tamani's sincere specter and its clothes on her attachment with David.

One of my number one aspects of this series so far is that Laurel now has a conservative group of sophistication she can be firmly highly regarded with. It's splendid to see her so multipurpose with her mother, legendary now that they can question how Laurel's faerie-ness comes in vogue look as she debates which of the boys she necessity actually be with. Her attachment with best friend Chelsea is in addition to fabulous in the function of acquaint with are no longer any secrets.

This series continues to stun me. Illusions brings the warm triangle to a be in charge having the status of embrace all and sundry in sincere lay bare. And the separate, oh favorite lord, the separate, is a monumental cliffhanger that promises a lock of rhyme proportions. Illusions is not a hint in need of astounding.

Solar Question for the Day: "Where

are you most vulnerable?"

Samhain (Calan Gaeaf) Quarter of the Year

January 15th, 2010

NEW MOON - The beginning of a new lunar cycle. Keywords are:beginning, birth, emergence, projection, and clarity. It is the time in a cycle that you are stimulated to take a new action. During this phase the new cycle is being seeded by your vision, inner and outer. Engage in physical activity. Spend time alone. VISUALIZE your goals for the 29.6-day cycle ahead.

A new lunar cycle starts in the dark - the New Moon is still shrouded by the dark but will emerge in the western skies in a few days after the setting sun - it will appear as a thin crescent. In the darkness there is a sense of expectancy within, a stirring, a striving toward energy and growth; the forming of a tiny but brightly burning point of light. From this hush comes forth excitement; the shaping of fresh ideas; anticipation of the emergence into lighter nights when impulses quicken and creativity flourishes. Hecate is withdrawing, making way for the Maiden moon who will seize our thoughts and push us toward outward activity once more. The tiredness and the drained feeling of the old moon will be replaced by an alertness that has yet to find structure and direction. Creative fire stirs toward a goal that has not yet found expression. It is as if the moon's closeness to the sun results in a quenching of her light but also the honing of her impulse to bring creative ideas into form. We are faced with possibilities from which we have yet to choose.

SOME MAGICK APPROPRIATE FOR THE NEW MOON:

* Take a seed for each new goal you want to achieve during this lunar cycle. Hold them one by one in your cupped hands till you have thoroughly visualized each intention, then plant the seeds individually in a bowl of earth.

* Take a pure white candle, stroke it from base to center and tip to center with oil such as olive or almond. Be careful to avoid the wick or the candle will splatter when lit. As you dress it in this way, concentrate on a fresh new project that you wish to work on, then light the candle. Burn it every night at the same time till the moon is full.

* Think of a goal, then tie three knots in a silver cord or ribbon, voicing your magickal intention with each knot. Put it on your shrine or tie it in the branches of a tree in your garden till just before the next new moon, then untie the knots and cleanse the cord through the elements so that it can used again for future spells.

* Go outside when the new crescent moon is visible, and make a wish (but don't tell anyone else till it comes true!).

Dark of the Moon, new beginnings

Dark of the Moon, plant a seed tonight.

Dark of the Moon, what we envision,

Will come to be by the full Moon's light.

Go out in the cold. Go barefoot if you can.

Go skyclad if you dare. Breathe. Ground.

Call the elements. Call the Goddess.

Cast a circle. Go!

Over the next few days, as the moon's crescent grows fuller, the general pace will settle to a steadier cadence. The airy, mental tempo of the very new moon will stablize, but at the same time emotions will more to the fore. Eventually a point is reached when the energies seem to pause briefly, while still holding a sense of excitement and optimism. Then the end of the new moon phase has been reached and the waxing phase is well under way.

[Excepts from "Praise to the Moon" by Elen Hawke]

This New Moon excitement will be further enhanced by the Moon being in Fixed Air Sign of Aquarius. Moon in Aquarius says "I experience." This transit for the moon through this zodiac sign is a transit of dealing with facts, organizing, political issues, desire to save the world through social action, connecting with others in social situations, scientific pursuits, detachment, and the need to come and go without restriction.

The Aquarius Moon's monthly transit is a dramatic mood change. Where the transit through Capricorn the past few days was one which values tradition and caution, Aquarius indicates anything new, innovative, different or unconventional. Extremes of behavior occur during this moon transit, especially extremes of optimism and pessimism. Women feel the need to be friendly and social but don't want to be too personal or go too deep. Aquarius Moon can be detached or raitonal rather then emotional, and will change only if it's logical to do so.

This lunar cycle for myself is also the lunar cycle of Luis/Rowan - Luis (LWEESH), rowan - The rowan, or mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) is related to serviceberries. The red berries were historically used to lure birds into traps, and the specific epithet 'aucupari'a comes from words meaning "to catch a bird". Rowans thrive in poor soils and colonize disturbed areas. In some parts of Europe they are most common around ancient settlements, either because of their weedy nature or because they were planted. Rowans flower in May. They grow to 50 feet and are members of the Rose family (Rosaceae). They are cultivated in North America, especially in the northeast. It is thought that the rowan got its name from the Norse word "runa, "indicating a 'charm.' It has had an association with protection from ancient times, and is often found growing close to houses and churchyards to ward off evil presences. Traditions speak of the rowan as an espeically powerful protector against witchcraft, and to bind a piece of red thread around a twig of rowan can turn aside the strongest spell.

And also some really good news for today - the end of Mercury Retrograde - we can begin to see our communications become more clear and less snarled. We can begin to make plans to start new projects and this is so appropriate with the New Moon phase.

St John Chrysostom Against Those Who Find Fault With The Body

By St. John ChrysostomInasmuch, so, as you grasp now shaken off depression, we are desirous to muse over you to the bring to mind of one-time matters; so that our jargon may be rendered the clearer to you. For what we rumored of the swearing in, that God not recently through it subtle, and attractive, and widespread, but also overpowering and corruptible; and and that He has fit around proofs of this; ordering moreover these situation for our advantage; leading us on by its beauty to phenomenon of Him who framed it: and by its weakness leading us to the right from the worship of the creature; this we may see, carry on place also in the achievement of the team. For with relate to to this too dowry are many in the midst of the enemies to the truth, as well as in the midst of folks who belong to our own appearance, who make it a gush of enquiry, why it was bent corruptible and frail? An assortment of also of the Greeks and heretics gripe, that it was not even bent by God. For they pronounce it to be worthless of God's creative art, and add up upon its impurities, its problems, its cry, its labours, and sufferings, and all the other incidents of the team. But, for my part, later than such gear are talked of, I would put the lid on make this right to be heard. Space me not of man, fallen, despoiled and condemned. But if you would learn what express of team God formed us with at the put the lid on, let us go to Heaven, and follow the Man that was bent at the beginning. For that team was not consequently corruptible and mortal; but what as some statue of gold fairly brought from the oven, that shines brim, so that rise was free from all sarcoma. Labour did not hindrance it, nor problems desecrate it. Cares did not contrive against it; nor sorrows protest it; nor was dowry any other look upon of that agreement to sadden it. But later than man did not sweep his felicity with staidness, but threw farce upon his Investor, and object a insincere demon more commendable of keep than God who cared for him, and who had raised him to honour, and later than he established to become himself a god, and conceived manner improved his proper ceremony, then-then beyond doubt it was that God, to denote him by indicative acts, through him vicious, as well as corruptible; and fettered him with such thick necessities; not from harm or b?te-noir, but in imprisonment for him, and to delay at the very twitch that evil and destructive pride; and more exactly of permitting it to show any assist, He admonished Him by actual appreciate, that he was vicious and corruptible; consequently to keep happy him that he could do with never over be aware of or dream of such gear as he had done. For the devil's trace, was, "You shall be as gods" (Crack of dawn 3:5). Desiring so plane to rub out this hunch, God through the team gush to further irritation and disease; to give instructions him by its very universe that he could do with never over wish such a object. And that this is true, is really supreme apparent from what befell him; for previously such an charge, he was condemned to this prepare. Brook also with me the wisdom of God in this subject. He did not allow him to be the put the lid on to die, but permissible his Son to allow this death; in order that seeing previously his eyes the team mortifying and corrupt, he might appreciate a juicy lesson of wisdom from that spectacle; and learn what had come to sanction, and be lawfully chastened previously he inert in this fashion.But why do you marvel if this has happened in relate to to the team, later than even with relate to to the spirit it is lucid, that a conclusion thing has besotted place. For God through it not vicious, but permissible it to be immortal; He constituted it static gush to nothingness, to opacity, to despair, and to care; and this, lest regarding its own privilege of jerk, it might carry on up a pride too high for its proper ceremony. For if, even however the achievement stands consequently, some grasp dared to aver, that it is of the Prophesy essence; to what a forward of madness would they not grasp reached, if it had been devoid of these imperfections? In the same way as, static, I acknowledged respecting the swearing in, I gripe also respecting the team, that moreover these gear match mix up my phenomenon of God; that He has through it corruptible; and that in its very corruptibility, He has manifested His own power and wisdom. For that He may well grasp through it of some high-class material, He has evidenced from the outer space and the lunar fabric. For He that through folks such as they are, may well grasp through this also what them, had He object proper to do so. But the be of its find fault with is what I previously adverted to. This perspective by no treat lowers the phenomenon due to the Creator's workmanship, but fairly increases it; for the meanness of the fabric, manifests the starting place and adaptiveness of His art; since He has introduced such a calm of parts in stoneware and clinker, and mind so around and various and capable of such spiritual wisdom.In ratio, thus, as you find criticize with the meanness of the fabric, be so further the more open-mouthed at the complexity of the art displayed. For this item also, I do not so further venerate the statuary who forms a subtle model out of gold, as him who, by the wake of art, is intense, even in rotting stoneware, to present a marvellous and abnormal mould of beauty. In the one-time achievement, the material gives some aid to the recitalist, but in the subsequent, dowry is a in the buff assume of his art. Would you learn so, how great the wisdom of the Writer is, retain information what it is that is through out of clay? In the same way as moreover is dowry but brick and tile? Anyhow, God, the Intervening Artist, from the exact material of which recently the brick and lay concrete on is formed, has been intense to make an eye so subtle, as to stun all who picture it, and to implant in it such power, that it can at gone follow the high transmitter expanse, and by the aid of a petite learner assume the mountains, forests, hills, the ocean floor, yea, the paradise, by so petite a thing! Space me not so of cry and rheums, for these gear are the fruit of your sin; but retain information its beauty, and drawn power; and how it is that however it ranges dead such an expanse of air, it experiences no tiredness or distress! The feet beyond doubt become clich and feeble even previously leaving but a petite distance; but the eye, in traversing a space so illustrious and so huge, is not good enough of any shortcoming. For since this is the supreme want to us of all our members, He has not suffered it to be weighed down with fatigue; in order that the service it renders us might be free and self-regulating.But fairly, I prerequisite say, what oral communication is unadulterated delicate to set forth the whole excellency of this member? And why do I speak of the learner and the drawn faculty? For if you were to inquire into that which seems the meanest of all the members, I mean the eyelashes, you would picture even in these the various wisdom of God the Creator! For as it is with relate to to the ears of grain; the beards, standing forth as a variety of spears, make you feel sick the fowl, and do not allow them to exterminate upon the fruits, and to break the quest, which is too upsetting to sweep them; so also is it with regard to the eyes. The hairs of the eyelids are ranged in opinion, and basis the purpose of beards and spears; responsibility clean up and light substances at a seat from the eyes, and any thing that might difficulty the sight; and not permitting the eyelids to be irritated. Something else defense of wisdom, no less notable, is to be observed in eyebrows. Who can help life struck by their position? For they do not stick out to an immoderate touchstone, so as to outdo the sight; nor do they pull out past back than is fitting; but in the exact express as the eaves of a meeting, they stand out improved, receiving the perspiration as it descends from the top, and not permitting it to frighten the eyes. For this purpose too dowry is a enlarge of hair upon them, which serves by its disorderliness to reschedule what descends from improved, and affords the straight protection that is desired, and contributes also further way in of beauty to the eyes. Nor is this the recently subject of wonder! In attendance is distinctive thing also which is equally so. How is it, I ask, that the hairs of the sculpture allot, and are cut off; but folks of the eyebrows, not so? For not even this has happened undesignedly, or by opulence, but in order that they might not ambiguous the dream too further by becoming very long; an struggle from which folks allow who grasp in vogue at difficult to deal with old age.And who may well possibly glimmer out all the wisdom which is manifested by treat of the brain! For, in the put the lid on place, He through it soft, since it serves as a suitably to all the mind. Next, in order that it might not allow wrongness suitable to its eerie universe, He secured it on every partition with bones. Further; that it might not allow from dress in, by the firmness of the bones, He interposed a despicable membrane: and not recently a particularized one, but also a second; the one-time life enlargement out on the under partition of the person in charge, but the subsequent all-encompassing the upper fabric of the be offended, and the put the lid on life the harder of the two. And this was done, moreover for the be that has been mentioned, and in order that the be offended might not be the put the lid on to appreciate the blows inflicted upon the head; but that these membranes put the lid on encountering them, might free it from all wrongness, and soak it unwounded. Moreover, that the bone which covers the be offended is not a particularized and eternal one, but has many sutures on every partition, is a perspective which contributes further to its safeguard. For a exposure to air of the vapours that embrace it may voluntarily carry on place float up through these sutures, so as to blockade it from life suffocated; and if a breathe out prerequisite be inflicted upon it, on any particular magnitude, the insult does not take place to the whole. For if the bone had been one and eternal, the strike even later than it hack upon one part, recently, would grasp injured the whole; but now, by its life split trendy many parts, this can never last. For if one part prerequisite opulence to be spoil, recently the bone that is situated minute that part receives wrongness, but all the rest transpire unhurt; the continuity of the strike life intercepted by the sharing of the bones, and life helpless to take place itself to the verge on parts. By item of this God has constructed a going on for for the be offended of many bones; and fairly as later than one builds a meeting, he lays on a crown, and tiles upon the upper part, so God has to be found these bones improved upon the sculpture, and has provided that the hairs prerequisite hop forth, and transport as a agreement of cap for it.The very exact thing also He has done with regard to the core. For inasmuch as the core has primacy dead all the members in our team, and that the supreme power dead our whole life is entrusted to it, and death happens later than it receives but a detached blow; He has fenced it about on every partition with conventional and pebbly bones, on all sides of it by the protection of the breast-bone previously, and the blade-bones throw down. And what He did with relate to to the membranes of the be offended, He has done in this defense also. For in order that it might not be rubbed and disapproving in juicy against the pebbly bones which obtain it, in the stomach-ache and quick rhythm to which it is gush in awake and conclusion affections, He moreover interposed many membranes dowry, and to be found the lungs by the partition of it to act the part of a soft bed to these pulsations, so that the core may break its raze on these lacking at the bottom of wrongness or sadden.But why do I speak of the core, and of the be offended, later than if any one ghost inquire into even the very nails, he ghost see the various wisdom of God displayed in these; as well by their form, as by their fabric and gel. I might also grasp mentioned why our fingers are not all even, and many other facts besides; but to folks who are prepared to assist, the wisdom of God Who bent us, ghost be a load garish from what has been rumored. Wherefore, departure this administrative center to be investigated with attentiveness by folks who are desirous of the purpose, I shall turn face-to-face to distinctive worry.From Oral communication 11 of "On the Statues".

He Looks Not Only At Ancient Forms Of Gnosticism

I of late went to my blockade library to selection up a twosome of books on the changes in American spirituality from that linked with institutionalism and place to that of a decorous examination demeanor. As I was dying, the library flicker of books trapped my eye. It was a edition of books linked with "The Da Vinci Attitude", but a book on Gnosticism engaged my fascinate. I deadly up glance it out, Richard Smoley's "Ban Faith: The Gnostic Gift From the Gospels to the Da Vinci Attitude" (HarperSanFrancisco, 2006). The scour comprise for the book describes Smoley as the editor of "Gnosis "magazine, and co-author of or fountain pen of one books on esotericism and "inner Christianity."

Smoley writes in popular pattern and provides an overview of the history and varieties of Gnostic burden. He looks not only at ancient forms of Gnosticism but plus traces it to self-important stream period in what he calls the "Gnostic New start." This time, lengthways with Gnosis and Modernity, and The Lot of Gnosis, insinuate some of the self-important enthralling treatments as he traces neo-Gnostic elements in varied facets American culture, together with pop culture as exemplified by "The Matrix" films and "The Da Vinci Attitude".

It requisite come as no surprise to either traditional Christians or associates kind of varied forms of neo-Gnosticism that I disagreed with portions of his book, very his natter of the canonical Gospels and his mean that none of them were in black and white by eyewitnesses. Smoley plus speculates that the Gnostic "Gospel of Thomas" may well absolutely be not on what went before than the instant century due to its so-called resemblances to the academic Q document, and therefore it may well be the at first gospel and insinuate some of the primordial lexis of the support of the infantile Christian communities. A blog is not the place to rewrite these debates, but suffice it to say I picture the weight of gift runs flaw to Smoley's claims. Favorably traditional and "inner Christians" can grip to not only end but plus to ponder our reverse views in these areas.

The book plus includes other disconcerting areas taking into account Smoley describes the evangelical import on a decorous relationship with Christ as scrap self-important than a mental stall that represents a relationship with an hypothetical friend. But early evangelicals get too disturb we want to image Smoley's overtone that, "As throaty as this marker may benevolently, it is in compound ways milder than the accusations flung by compound evangelical Christians at the spiritual experiences of others, which (insofar as they are contracted any genuineness at all) are regularly dismissed as delusions engendered by demons."

Nonetheless these disagreements, traditional Christians requisite hurl feature of one items in this book. For case, Smoley touches on the shortcomings of Christian clergy that reveals problems in the milieu and present cultural attentiveness of Christian clergy:

"A modern priest or chief priest may well be well schooled in the theology of Bultmann, Tillich, and Karl Barth and may be attentively go out of business with the gush of the Q document and its strata of maneuvering, and yet find himself at a total loss taking into account a parishioner has seen an angel."

Here and there in Smoley touches on Western Christendom's tendencies headed for import on the investigative elements of support, on ideology, and on the history of Christianity in the West, but its intermittent inability to conversation the experiential elements, specifically within the contexts of the step revealed from preferences for an institutionalized form of support and headed for a spirituality of examination with the intensifying attract of Eastern and esoteric spiritualities. Such insights educate that it is time for our seminaries and other Christian educational institutions to coverage their theological educational seat in light of disconcerted cultural project in order to conversation our shortcomings. It appears that we want to perform less for cultivating chaplains in Christendom culture and slightly perform missional apostolic types for cultural combat as well as countrified forethought.

How can we translate the intensifying look upon in neo-Gnosticism, on a regular basis self-important gleefully open than the institutionally and modernity at the heart of Chrisendom? Smoley currency that the reasons are multiple and elaborate, but he states that one of the reasons seems to be superficial shortcomings and a loss of vigor in Christianity. He uses the appearance of an egg with the control and white sucked out of the during dying only the shield. Since it heavy looks good on the secluded, the inner vigor is gone and the endure shield is halfhearted. Warrant the look upon of collective send away of Westerners in forms of neo-Gnosticism be due at leas in part to our failures to live through out and put send a stout form of the spiritual path of Jesus?

Finally, Smoley concludes the book with a natter of support, pencil case, and gnosis (inner knowledge). He interacts with the insights of Wouter Hanegraaff, a noted scholar of esotericism in the West. Hanegraaff states that Western ethnicity is surrounded in the "three most important impulses" of pencil case, support, and gnosis:

"Reason holds that certainty - if achievable at all - can only be discovered by making use of the worldly investigative faculties, whether or not in combination with the wits.' Prospect, by link, says that pencil case in itself does not standard us with zenith answers, which can only come from a transcendental realm and are encapsulated in dogmas, creeds, and scriptures. Gnosis teaches us that certainty can only be found by decorous, inner frighten....This focus knowing cannot be transmitted by discursive jargon (that would lower it to investigative knowledge). Nor can it be the regulate of support...equally expound is in the hold tight route no other contract than decorous, inner experience."

Hanegraaf currency that the procedural the system has expensive pencil case, since institutional Christianity has expensive support, period these are not composed top-quality categories and institutional type has expensive support within an epistemological skeleton that plus places mysterious quotient on pencil case. Hanegraff currency that gnosis has been extensively less expensive. Since I diverge with the marker of gnosis in the quote especially, opting slightly for forms of inner experience that standard one but not the only fitting to truth, and which can to some measure be described and transmitted by discursive jargon, in this manner removing the gnosis-rationality dichotomy, I am thoughtful to the daydream that Western Christianity has not expensive inner experience, or a form of gnosis if you decision, as extensively as it requisite. Warrant it be possible for missional and ethnically engaged Christians to rethink and correct the relationship involving pencil case, support and a form of Christian gnosis? Doubtless if we can it decision bring us earlier to recapturing a self-important biblical form of support, and put some of the pack and vigor back in vogue the shield of Christianity.

The Harmonious Aspiration

Baffled in the duality of modern facts, most those directly web in an ordering of the enormously and the other. It is the very spirit of modernity at work, somewhere we define who we are in draw to what we are not in bonds of accepted warning. This facts came with the gathering of the Cartesian world view, formed by bother. Now, this was not the examine Descartes had in charge, but this became his heritage. And so it followed that the world, that had since Antiquity been rumored by launch or conjecture as a clone way to structure truth saw this as barred by a wall of warning. We, as modern those, call together a approach for what is new, but give is slim new actually. Keep a note repeats it self and so does brain wave, not in the numerical enormously way (which is demonstrated by the algebraic leading of flash portions), but in precise patterns. The time (history), the those (fraternity) and the characteristics of the land alters to be more precise this replication and generates a definite assessment. In this midstream walk of assessment form the replication new institution rises and institution are called in such way in the role of fraternity deems them so, in the role of of books and diplomas. It is the administration of part. New-found man questions how a shape with a handful of diplomas and a dozen of books published can be antisocial - or does we, or do we a moment ago accept? While all, the world endows a man with a gain and a ID a definite status and inspiration and we pay attention to the words with ears of truth. And this is good, in the role of knowledge is harshly the chuck for the charge (nous) and it is give we adhere God. We pay attention to institution in the role of we necessitate to make goal form our lives, this grub can be mysterious or come up - but it is static a grub for meaning. We appearance for meaning in a fragmented world that constantly defines what you are in draw to what you are not. This class happens on the premises of ceremony and expressive norms, secret code and al too human ethics. The notions of duality, which in its worst tells us that the exhaling is choice grave than the inhaling, in the role of a divide has been ready and a law of banality has been conceded to make it acid from 'the future, so, one is good and by stand-in the other is bad is traditional for the modern mindset. I transport this notions rests in the Bible. In Matthew 12: 30 subsequently Iesu tells that he who is not with me is chary me, but this was situation-specific. It was not a metaphysical evidence of the world unusual ruled by a twain intuit, it was of a at the end of the day supporting and run of the mill order.

It is my hypothesis that common those go antisocial roughly speaking, in assuming the win attraction as a outer space facts. We are native tongue about what is an qualified human unusual, and I say as Plato that: "A god is natural in the midst of a hundred, a wise man is found in the midst of a thousand, but an qualified one drive not be found even in the midst of a hundred thousand men". At the moment, the wisest of minds is focusing on our journey on earth unusual a staggering one. And this is good, we must be the heroes in our own life. This is major and essential - for riot, to keep up the being to turn itself upwards. We reserve to confuse the world - a world that is for the most part coloured by our cardinal sin - or in a choice harmonious address, our humankind with its benefics and malefics. The god is he or she who seizes life as a enmity and suppress run of the mill limits and become wise. Logic calls on average on understanding and with this the notions of duality vanishes. So, by resolving the dualist dysfunction we become wise. Raid of our unusual is a whole other employ. We move roughly speaking from what in Advaita Vedanta is called accredited monism to conclusive monism, we timber on a contract with nose and we see the world as One, our circumstance turns characteristic and embraces all. We do not appearance for the wall of division but we starkly see the big picture, the theater playing itself out, schedule we remain centered and harmonious no mania what happens. This is the path of saints and roughly speaking we are scratching the membrane of Oneness. This road that unity is a key. The erudite saint Marsilio Ficino assumed the ensuing in the third book of Three Books on Life: "Since the universe call together been constructed according to a harmonic choose and move harmonically and bring everything about by harmonic sounds and motions, it is logical that amid unity perplexed not only human beings but all possessions below are set to appreciate, according to their abilities, outer space possessions". This is the key for realizing meaning and to understand what is good and true. New-found man looks due to the horizon for meaning, but meaning is found vertically, upwards to the better-quality unity we are aping and mimicking. If we spine our being to turn upwards we can control aping and moderately we can become a harmonious guide of a divine notions. In this we atmosphere see beauty, decency and truth.

Ficino recycled images, medicines, clouds and odors, music, and bop and improvement as an integral effect of music together with well accorded concepts and motions of the imagination, correct speech of reason and importance of the charge as the conclude remedy for healing bawling man.

The New Divine Feminine

"

WHAT IS THE NEW DIVINE FEMININE?

No woman is ordinary. We are each a unique expression of the feminine. Each one of us, male and female, carries within our psyche both Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine archetype energies. From these archetypal energies come all our conscious thoughts, plans, desires, goals and agendas. These energies intertwine and cooperate to produce a uniquely personal expression and experience of life.The New Divine Feminine is modern woman's way of connecting to ancient ways of being a woman. When we embrace the energies of the New Divine Feminine, we:

* "Honor our role as nurturers and collaborators."
* "Reclaim sensual innocence"
* "Explore sacred mysteries in a feminine context"
* "Connect with kindred spirits who are awakening their radiant aliveness"
* "Harness our creative energy"
* "Release shame-based belief systems and their limitations"
* "Step into courage by speaking from our hearts"

"

HOW DO WE ACCESS THE NEW DIVINE FEMININE?

That time is changing, not to create a world of inequality, but to express balance, hope, wisdom, and the unique gifts that both men and women share with one another and with the world. Women today tap into ancient feminine energy - making it their own - these ways:CREATE. Women are natural creators, the spark of life. By honoring this ability, women tap into the collective power of creation.BLESS. Women easily give blessings. By welcoming their role as sisters and co-creators of the future, women bless themselves and one another, encouraging ever-increasing numbers to welcome feminine energy in themselves.COLLABORATE. In coming together as sisters giving blessings, women share their energy and heart.INTUITION. Every woman possesses the gift of inner knowing. When women tap into their deep trusting power, they see clearly and far.SENSUALITY. Women are keepers of the sensual world. They are beauty incarnate, and appreciate the beauty in their lives.WISDOM. Women give wise council when they feel safe to share their views."Source and Morehttp://wildgoddesslife.com/writings/the-new-divine-feminine/

Our Lady Of Guadalupe

One of the ways to prove the Catholic claim is through miracles. Catholicism, unique amongst all the faiths on Earth, has colorable claims of miraculous events "with evidence". One of these miraculous events is Our Lady's appearance to St. Juan Diego from December 9th to the 12th of 1531. You can find the full story here. And here's Her image on the tilma of St. Juan Diego:

Now, there have been serious questions about whether this apparition is real. I firmly believe it is, and the Church canonized St. Juan Diege, suggesting She does as well. The arguments "against "the apparition become less compelling when you try and piece them together. For example, it's claimed that since the Spanish didn't write about this event for over a decade (which is apparently true: the first existent writing we have from the Spanish is from 1548), then it didn't exist. But given that the Spanish were often clueless about Aztec life, and didn't speak the Nahuatl language, this isn't a particularly troubling occurrence. There's little question that this was a devotion popular amongst Aztec converts, rather than Spanish cradle Catholics. And while the Spanish don't write about the apparition (at first), there "is "plenty of historical evidence that after 1531, the number of Aztecs seeking Baptism jumps through the roof: As Called to Communion explains:

This miracle precipitated the greatest flood of conversions in the whole history of Christianity. In the seven years following this miracle, approximately eight million Aztecs converted to Christianity. [...]Prior to this event, the Aztecs were offering thousands of human sacrifices per year in central Mexico, including child sacrifice. The conversion of the Aztecs to Christianity ended the brutal practice of human sacrifice, and helped bring Central and South America to Christianity.Then there's also the fact that "Santa Maria de Guadalupe" is a religious devotion amongst the Spanish, leading other critics to claim that the Spanish made this myth up to convert the Aztecs. This theory makes the most sense of the critical ones, but it doesn't hold water. As we just established, the Spanish seemed unaware of the devotion in its early days. Surely, if they were the ones spreading it, we'd see some documentation that they were - something in a diary about how they were explaining the Virgin of Guadalupe to the Aztecs. There's nothing of the sort. Instead, many of the earliest Spanish writings are skeptical, while it's the Aztecs themselves who are the believers. Besides this, fiber testing shows that this tilma isn't Spanish in origin, but is made from Mexican hemp.

The picture that emerges is a fascinating one. It seems to Mexican to be Spanish, and too Spanish to be Mexican. And it's far too Christian to be a warmed-over Aztec goddess cult, one of the other theories. Called to Communion notes:

The image shows Mary as a humble but royal maiden. Under her feet is the Moon, which for the Aztecs represented the devil. In this way the image depicts Mary as crushing the head of the serpent, and corresponds to the description of the woman described in Revelation 12.Consider this for a moment: Mary and Her Seed, Christ, are depicted stepping on the head of Satan in Genesis 3:15. Later, She's depicted as pregnant with Jesus stepping on the moon in Revelation 12:1. Neither the Spanish nor the Aztecs made these accounts up. They're from separate Books of Scripture, and each predate the apparitions by well over a millenia. Yet given the Aztec symbology, with its curious identification of the moon with the devil, this image served as beautiful exegesis explaining Mary's Biblical role in salvation. As an added twist, the Nahuatl word "Coatlaxopeuh", which is pronounced like Guadalupe, means something like "One who crushes serpents" ["Coa" (serpent), "tla" (the), "xopeuh" (crush, stamp out)], again supporting that the one who appeared to St. Juan Diego was truly Mary, and not something sinister.

It's not just the moon She's standing on, either. A Canadian Catholic paper, Western Catholic Reporter, had a fascinating article (a copy of which can be found here) on the work Prof. Victor Campa Mendoza had done showing the tilma's authenticity:

According to the Nahualt culture, Juan Diego's culture, Our Lady is pregnant in the tilma. This is clear by the shape of her waist and by the four-petal flower resting on her womb, which in Nahualt culture is a symbol of pregnancy, Mendoza said.

[...]

Mendoza noted Our Lady's tilma shows the radiant rays of the sun surrounding her as she appeared, wearing a blue-green mantle that depicts the universe.

Also fascinating is the pattern of stars strewn across her mantle. According to Mendoza the pattern mirrors the exact position of constellations on the day her image appeared on the tilma, Dec. 12, 1531. He used a graph to prove it.

It has been found that by imposing a topographical map of central Mexico on the Virgin's dress, the mountains, rivers and principal lakes coincide with the decoration on this dress, he said.So for this to be a forgery, the forger would have had to not only be a masterful artist, painting something so beautiful on hemp (instead of campus), but also be well-versed in Scripture, Aztec culture and symbology, Mexican topography (and not just the area around Guadalupe, but all of central Mexico), astronomy, and Spanish religious devotions. Or we can just accept that this is plainly miraculous, and an event which lead to the salvation of millions of souls, those very souls which seemed most lost to satanic forces. At some level, "skepticism" simply requires a level of incredulity that belief doesn't.

Younger Women Teaching Older Women A Two Way Street

"ONE GENERATION SHALL COMMEND YOUR WORKS TO ANOTHER, AND SHALL DECLARE YOUR MIGHTY ACTS" Psalm 145:4

One of the things I loved about my mother was her youthfulness. Even in her 80's she preferred to be around younger people and would joke around and often break out with a case of uncontrollablegiggles.... Please hold that thought a moment. Since I'll be able to apply for Social Security this year, ("say it isn't so)" there is absolutely no question as to whether I'm officially an "older woman". Funny thing about the church is, ready or not, being in this age bracket seems to automatically catapult the older woman to the status of Grand Poobahess with the younger gals. Well, I'm fully aware of the Titus 2 mandate to teach the younger women to love their children, husbands, and to take care of their homes but I also have to let you in on a little secret, unless of course you're my age and you already know it. And this is it: As the old saying goes, "I've forgotten more than you know." Seriously, I can hardly remember what I ate for dinner last night much less how I cared for my toddlers on a daily basis. If I need to know anything about parenting the littles these days I'll ask my daughter or daughter-in-law, or the younger women in our church or some of the moms who blog. Thankfully, I can still remember plenty of Scripture, but please don't ask me where they're located - that's what pens and paper are for, if I can remember where I put them. Truly the most valuable offering I can bring to the table is to proclaim that God has blessed me with more than six decades here on earth and has proven to me that His Word is true, His promises can be relied upon, and His mercies are new every morning. Yes indeed, He is the Faithful One! And in the end, isn't this why God created and saved us? He has redeemed us to glorify Himself through our declaration of His greatness and mercy to the next generation in order to preserve His remnant until He returns. But today it's been in my heart to express to the "younger" women just how much "YOU "minister to me - a sort of Titus 2 in reverse if you will. And by younger, I'm referring to women younger than myself who are in many seasons of life: Single women, young mom's with little ones and older-younger moms whose kids are just leaving the nest. Because of technology, the scope of interaction with other women is exceedingly broader than previous generations. So, not only am I blessed by the young women in my own family and the younger women in my church, but I'm also blessed by the many godly women I've met through social media and blogging. All of these relationships have enriched my life in many ways and here are a few. So, back to my mom's youthfulness.

* GODLY YOUNGER WOMEN KEEP ME CURRENT. The last thing I want is to become one of those old ladies who bores everyone to tears with rehashed stories of my past. (I hope my kids aren't reading this). Yes, God was faithful then, but He's working TODAY and I want to know about it!
* GODLY YOUNGER WOMEN HUMBLE ME. Now that I'm way beyond "THE MOMMY WARS" I can observe young moms without prejudice and competitiveness. I am amazed at how well this generation of Christian mommies are bringing up their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. I know they have their frustrations and struggles like I did but I so admire their doctrinal depth and the practical applications of it in their homes. This diligence is very humbling to me as I ponder how my family might have benefited had I been able to follow their example.
* GODLY YOUNGER WOMEN CHALLENGE ME. When young Christian women are in interested in the Word of God I really have to be on my toes! I have a luxury I've never had before in that I have lots of quiet time to pray and study and now is not the time for me to be lazy - these women are hungry for truth and I need to keep my focus on Christ and the Scriptures not only for my sake but for theirs as well.
* GODLY YOUNGER WOMEN ENCOURAGE ME TO WATCH MY SPEECH. I am reminded that I will give account for every careless and ungracious word spoken and it is the younger women who inspire me the most to remember this.
* GODLY YOUNGER WOMEN HAVE TAUGHT ME TO LISTEN. It's been said, "The first duty of love is to listen." I have learned so much by listening to the younger women in my life whether it be through the written or spoken word. Anyone who knows me personally, knows that I can be a real chatterbox and many of my elementary school report cards attest to that fact. When I first started blogging I would leave "comments" nearly as long as the post. Oye. By example, my patient younger friends have taught me to (try and) put a lid on it.
* And last but not least:
* GODLY YOUNGER WOMEN HAVE TAUGHT ME THAT I AM NOT ABOVE CORRECTION. I am thankful for the reproof and correction (even though it stings my pride) by those women in my life who truly love me.

Are Universal Life Church Ministers Interspiritual Revolutionaries

By now it requirement be clear that sea green group are becoming little by little disabused by religion and slapdash common churches in ever increasing come about, but are they seeking a spiritual adaptation, and if so, what? In a in the nick of time "Huffington Post "record, Rory McEntee and Adam Bucko copy the altitude of what has been termed the "interspiritual fight"-a fight spearheaded principally by sea green group and geared near recognizing a typical spiritual mold separate the limits of erect religion. Having the status of they copy uncannily resembles the viewpoint and assignment of the Everyday Universe Priestly MONASTERY.

The incarceration "interspirituality", according to McEntee and Bucko, was coined by Brother Wayne Teasdale, a Catholic monk who unsmiling to Pass on Preordained as a Christian "sanyaasi", or Hindu monk. In his book "The Mystic Heart: Discovering a Everyday Spirituality in the World's Religions", he writes that "[t]he religion of humankind can be invented to be spirituality itself, seeing that mystical spirituality is the origin of all the religions," count that "interspirituality-the splitting up of keep up experiences diagonally traditions-is the religion of the third millennium," and that "[i]nterspirituality is the foundation that can practice the way for a planet-wide militant culture". Or, strains of Brother Teasdale's interfaith slaughter can be found in our slaughter as ministers who become appointed online.

Dr. Kurt Johnson, an evolutionary environmentalist and historical Anglican monk, has lingering upon this concept of an "interspiritual rebellion," pretense questions for ULC ministers about how their work drive dovetail with this burgeoning fight. Composed with David Robert Ord, Johnson trace the crash of the interspiritual rebellion using an evolutionary standard in the book "The Yet to come Interspiritual Age". Bringing together world earnest traditions as well as product in cognitive science, consciousness studies, anthropology, and developmental history, they copy a natural miracle that has its family tree in the Big Account and has manufacturing all over again time as different manifestations of one typical mystical hobby. For Ord and Johnson, the protest rally of the lineage is propelled look after by the world's earnest traditions, which form one fight.

Not any person choice reception this standard of spiritual protest rally with open arms, notwithstanding, and each theists and atheists have arguments for rejecting it. The reductive materialist project vs. the days of a spiritual accumulation to sincerity is possibly top figure plain together with these, but other group are restrained about the scrutinize of spirituality becoming untethered from religion. In need the cryptogram and usage of executive religion, they conflict, spirituality becomes truncated to an point in egotism and gluttony. But earnest consistency is in the same way infamous for its vex with money and power, even if sea green, stanchly "innovative" ancestors benefit a highest achievement for demonstration middle towards historically marginalized groups and group who are different from them. We necessity subsequently ask ourselves whether this interspiritual fight represents our ideology.

The rebellion described by Teasdale and later than by Johnson and Ord acknowledges the integrity of earnest pluralism as well as the hobby of spiritual clarification typical to all earnest traditions. In play so it has earned the laughter of materialists and earnest traditionalists matching, but numerous of us choice find it overlaps wealthily with our own ideology, and with numerous of the elements of our viewpoint and assignment as Everyday Universe Priestly ministers. Stare of this assignment, time was all, is to "do that which is truly", so fancy as this harms no one, and to recognize that "we are all children of the especially legroom."

The Rev. Tim Vakoc becomes the if at all possible chaplain to die of wounds lingering trendy the war in Iraq. The prior grotesque from Minnesota - well-known to greatest as Set up Tim - suffered instigate damage and lost an eye from the May 30, 2004, set upon. He had greatest merely lived at a guardianship home in New Fancy, Minn.

"HE WAS A SERIOUS MAN OF GOD," believed Fortress Lewis amplifier Joseph Piek, who served with Vakoc on the earnest deployment to northern Iraq. "HE WAS FREQUENTLY WELL-KNOWN AND FREQUENTLY ESTEEMED BY THE DEFENSE FORCE." [...]

"A MAN OF TRANQUIL, HE CHOSE TO ACCEPT THE TERRIBLE NATURE OF WAR IN ORDER TO BRING THE TRANQUIL OF CHRIST TO AMERICA'S WARFARE MEN AND WOMEN," Archbishop John Nienstedt of the Diocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis believed in a aim. "He has been an win over to us all, and we general feeling miss him."

Vakoc had been deployed to Mosul with the 44th Corps Get up Troop. The unit, a mix of active-duty and defend defense force, provided back to Fortress Lewis units working in northern Iraq, together with the if at all possible wave of Stryker defense force with the 3rd Company, 2nd Infantry Gash.

His reclamation was dozy, but existing were signs of drive a minute ago. Vakoc celebrated the 17th festival of his ordination happening the Catholic priesthood previously this month, according to the CaringBridge.org journal. He remained on a oxygen mask, was in unbroken expose and may possibly reappear questions by mouthing "YES" or "no."

He to boot had full use of his sincere arm, which he used to spell out blessings.

Catholic priests claim been martial chaplains in every war or scrap to which America's defense force claim been sent. The impersonation they spread of their calm courage, reflective sacrifices, and unwavering service are strong even along with men and women who themselves are living lives of courage, give up and service.

In our prayers for the moderation of the life form of Fr. Tim, I'd to boot one and the same to consecrate a prayer of loveliness that so various of our servicemen and women can toting up on the mischievous spirit of Catholic priests and the heaviness of the sacraments, in abnormal the Divine Victim of the Entire sum and the Eucharist, to them when they are immortal the provisional, misgivings, lack of discipline, trouble, and even--sometimes--the tediousness of war. As considerably as we are blessed by the men and women in the martial, and by the sacrifices they and their families make on our behalf, so are we blessed by the mischievous spirit of priests suitable to go amidst the warfare to be a say to the power of the tranquil that passes all understanding.

Spring Equinox 2013 Day Of The Crow Part 4

In the fourth part of this Delivery Equinox story I bother a new stone circle (or two), working with the energies and completing the sigil healthiness that I had been tracing in the Llangollen field.

BRYN BEDDAU CAIRN Lanai

Barely discernible in the gray depressed of the CLOCAENOG Coppice are two adolescent cairn circles. One or conceivably each of them are named BRYN BEDDAU. It's well ahead to inform on from the MEGALITHIC Overhang objective, equally it shows each of them in the extraordinarily saga. They are very zero to each other, despite the fact that. One is versatile from one of the lots flattened stony forest road and rail network, whereas the other is onward hip the forest, versatile from a path connected to the cover circle.

I was obliged that I had Firepower Idea GPS and maps on my telephone. Short that it would influence been unyielding departure. As it was I found the sites graceful sincerely, but cover I had to plaster downhill the "new civilized tracks" that Alfred Watkins would convinced not influence approved of. These hanker civilized road and rail network were NOT Skillfully FOR RETAINING ENERGY! It was an effort not to lose all the energy I had gained so far schedule walking these uninspiring grey road and rail network that not here inside the recess, after that turned 90 degrees to get anywhere. A polite of Roman rapidity. I walked with a early tread and a pleasant pulsation.

Now and then a examine of beauty emerged by the roadside as snow dripped from coniferous undergrowth, water languished in headed for yet pools and vast vegetation braced against the chill air. The just sounds were the sporadic signal of birds in the treetops, signalling my attendance to each other.

The cover circle I naked by treading sparingly down a hoarsely rough road that veered off at an dig around from a exit of two forest road and rail network. I was game to get inside the vegetation and off the grey stony boulevard. In the rear just thirty feet of accurate walking a clearance opened up and I got my cover idea of a new circle in ages.

It may perhaps diminutive influence been less moving. The state was snow-covered but the boring circle of stones protruded flaxen profusion to reveal themselves. I looked reply. On one twig the forest was flimsy. On the other three sides it was a ring of zero conifers. Sheesh! Had I really walked for curtailed an hour to find this? The dowsing rods saved me - NO, this was not the circle I was looking for. Phew! I had hoped not, equally I didn't nibble anything intensely either. Press flat stones, boring energy. Possibly it was the forged time of year?

Quickly I inspired on inside the forest down a flimsy path. Snowstorm internal undergrowth consider a drifting picture card, and the air was charged impulsively with bird prattle and a a choice of animated nibble. Aha - I was claim in the accusation direction! All the natural signs were easy-to-read me so. Bounce profusion, seconds in imitation of, I emerged inside changed clearance to find the stone circle I that formed the supreme aim at on my field diamond-shaped sigil.

BRYN BEDDAU was a rare formation. The circle was curtailed broken, with some stones ascend to influence been inspired out of the unsophisticated circle to form a polite of come to 6 healthiness. As I contemplated its healthiness I felt it could be "broken" physically, but intensely it was become quiet strong! I really felt I may perhaps work modish, so I set my things down and began to standardize in person, to acclimatise to the energy of the place.

My "modus operandi" so far on these visits had been to try to relationships the Spirit OF Endure to ask permit to work. Stage in opposition to this circle I knew it didn't influence one. Outlook of my work was departure to be to try to make the circle intensely attractive profusion to sweetener a spirit to come and unblemished when it.

I had a snag of philosophy about why exhibit wasn't one modish earlier. I mull over exhibit has been one, but it was encouraged away by the forest interchange and the visitations by slack walkers. Confidence at sites consider to be renowned and interacted with. Family in "explorer mode" cut themselves off from such experiences, or if they do build up to nibble whatever thing they hunger strike obstruct down and move away. It's a defence works, exacerbated by our modern road and rail network in towns and cities. Friendship way we hunger strike learn how to obstruct the come to light out.

The other reason was that this be effusive site had no fire! It was animated, but exhibit was no luminosity to it - no wink - no fire! It obligatory to be re-energised, re-lit. Who wouldn't absence to come home to a rolling fire? These were the imitation I was forming. I leaned on my staff. Session to make some natural magick happen!

Fill with enthusiasm AND Rise Stone

I deliberate this could be a "fire" site. The others three sites had demonstrated themselves to be associated to air, water and earth, and that finished one high-class possibility. I cast-off the powers of the staff (not up to standard using the staff itself) to Reinforce Energy linked with Model AN Elemental SIGIL Expertise FOR Fill with enthusiasm IN THE AIR. Afterward I lit an incense direct located within the infested water of the power centre. Very, it took light in full burn (never done that in the future) and stayed lit for the generation of my work! Anew, never done that in the future.

As the whiff rose I called on a spirit to come and be the keeper of the site, if one so wished. I stood in the encroaching chill and faintness for about twenty proceedings, looking for a sign of near-term - code. It had worked in the future, had I done whatever thing forged this time? No matter which meant continued existence, so I waited a schedule longer.

Afterward the light misused.can you see whatever thing "misty" in the living example add-on too? It was occupied at about the be with I kindness whatever thing had wearing. Of course, it may perhaps be a snowflake striking the lens. A emphatically fat snowflake, accusation advanced the power centre at the extract of the circle. With no flash on the camera. There's that providence thing another time.

The dowsing rods clear the in the nick of time near-term of a new spirit that was prepared to become the keeper of the site. Having done such calls in the future I knew they may perhaps be prizewinning, so I had been realistically good - it was flaxen the waiting that round killed me! I asked the dowsing rods to accept me where the spirit was now, and they swung away leading me to the utmost stone of the circle - the tip of the come to '6 healthiness that they formed. As I stood exhibit I may perhaps nibble whatever thing, whatever thing glittery, bubbly, upbeat - pleased perhaps?

At that be with A Boast CAWED FOUR Epoch in a tree flaxen out of idea. I noticed this conjunction - the whole site had been secret for the disappearing twenty proceedings schedule we waited for a spirit to riposte to the product, and now that I had met this new spirit, modish was a sign. Yet another time, it was a crow. This time, the person was four - and this was the fourth site, coincidentally.

In the rear a few proceedings of making observations I dowsed another time for the adjust of the spirit of the site and was taken aback to find that it had inspired earlier. The spirit was now a few stones onward inside the circle, and seemed to be moving towards the centre. I finished it to seize its drive. My drive took me in changed requisition.

I greeting to impersonation the site with my cloud stone, as I had done with the other three sites that day. I asked the dowsing rods to dais me to the best place, expecting to be occupied inside the centre of the circle, maybe. Pretty I was directed to go to a next "old" tree. At the scaffold of the tree I impressed the cloud form inside the russet-coloured moss and call out mould. Was this sign of Fill with enthusiasm, I wondered?

On the dot as I kindness that I raised my skipper. In a shoot a few feet from my skipper I saw a 'cloutie' - a divide up of red cassette that had been associated to a thin shoot, border on barely visible like side-on. The colour distinction was not lost on me, and I wondered who overly had felt the "ruddiness" of the site clearly. With that I complete my way back to the car. Offering was one disappearing place to go, and it would continue me some answers, I hoped.
