Buddha

i was visited by Buddha tonight -

- well, not really ...
... but i was in the bathroom, naked except for my socks (sorry folks) when i sat on the toilet to remove them (the socks I mean) and glancing up was totally surprised to see Buddha sitting before me.

of course it was a mirror and the HUGE round bellied figure staring back at me was my own reflection. ack!

what a shock!!

For Creativity

Thanksgiving for the Creative Endeavour

In carving the wood; in sculpting the stone;
in forming the clay                   

Your creative Spirit is within us

In painting the canvas; in pressing the print;

in searching for new ways                 

Your creative Spirit is within us

In the landscaping of the garden; in the toiling of earth;

in the arrangement of flowers        

Your creative Spirit is within us

In making the bread we break and share   

Your creative Spirit is within us

In the making of music with instruments or voices    

Your creative Spirit is within us

In creating new worlds with written words;

in telling stories with pictures  

Your creative Spirit is within us

In joining the dance of the universe;

in moving our bodies to the beat of life  

Your creative Spirit is within us

In the spontaneous and subversive street art   

Your creative Spirit is within us

In the performing of a play; in the routine of a mime;

in the kindness of a gesture  

Your creative Spirit is within us

In the words of our liturgy and prayers 

Your creative Spirit is within us

In being human; in caring for one another and our planet  

Your creative Spirit is within us

We are creative beings made to the image and likeness of a creative God. 

Amen

Ok so

So ...


when can you tell when you're electrolytes are off,
when you're potassium is low,
when the magnesium affects it?


Can it be when you're heart is racing 
and you're throwing up at 2:00 in the morning
and then can't lay on either side 
and need the weight of your husbands hand across your chest
to slow down your speeding heart?


Yeah.

Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day, a day that I said I didn't care about because ...
well, MY mother is dead and gone! However,
I have thought a lot about her the past couple of days -
I did submit a picture of myself and my mom together to Adam - 
I wished I had purchased a carnation for her through the youth -
I do miss her.

So yeah ...

So yea..
