“Victims Are Violent People”
I came across this today on The Work of Byron Katie’s facebook page. She often posts ideas that get me reevaluating everything:
I noticed my friend Kolby had responded: (more…)
The Midnight Planétarium Watch
Ever since the first cuckoo clock I ever read about in a book as a child, I have been obsessed with perfectly hand crafted timepieces and the traditional art of clockmaking. And for as long as I have loved clocks I have desired one particular timepiece into existence that showed the position and rotation of our plants around our star. Every few years I’d search online to see if it had come into existence yet, and then today, by sheer luck I finally stumbled onto it without even searching!
The Secret Lake and a hidden place
The Secret Lake, Beloved Festival 2014 (Tidewater OR)
I got back from Beloved a few days ago and intended to post privately here about the journey, but I’m finding it impossible to put it into words. It’s all sticky in my heart and mind still. I guess I’m still processing what happened there. I’m still processing even deciding to go at the last minute and see my previous partner there, in his element, connecting with girls who gathered around him a lot. It would have been a lot easier if he’d been less visible. And constantly bumping into him was weird in so many ways. I fell apart a few times only to be gently and patiently gathered up by the only person who has ever really understood me and never left my side. With his support I was able to more gently face my fears, stand tall and be strong in my own being, enjoying the juicy bounty of my favourite festival in the Universe. It was overall an incredibly positive, healing, bonding and magical experience returning to Beloved this year, which I feel this image gives a glimpse of. The photo isn’t manipulated at all by the way, it really looks like this at night. All the installations at Beloved had the ability to take you to another world, because they were so fantastical and unreal… (more…)
Without suffering, would we have empathy?
I know it’s not really related but it got me to thinking…
Do Psychopaths have a hidden suffering?
I often notice, with the surprising amount of sociopaths and psychopaths I’ve encountered in this short life, that they actually struggle with the inability to feel. They are willing to go to great lengths to feel something, even though nothing works, no matter how extreme their method progression runs. They are so intrigued by how much the rest of us feel and suffer that they often try to play with us and hurt us and watch us, like we are puppets… to try to imagine it, perhaps? (more…)
You Are a Heart Being
Declare amnesty for the part of you that you don’t love very well. Forgive that poor sucker. Hold its hand and take it out to dinner and a movie. Tactfully offer it a chance to make amends for the dumb things it has done.
And then do a dramatic reading of this proclamation by the playwright Theodore Rubin: “I must learn to love the fool in me — the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”
What if you always took the ‘what if’ path?
I’m just noticing that I don’t recognise my life at all anymore. Nothing feels familiar about it. At all… like I’m living a totally alternate ‘what if’ life. (more…)
The Perfect Body Stereohype
I had noticed, though not paid much attention to this new fashion trend for women — no longer being pressured to look thin, but to have perfect cyborg bodies as if they were top athletes. Except that they’re not. To me its just another form of INTENSE pressure and control directed at women by the media and even fostered and encouraged by other women who do it, under the guise that “I will become more physically powerful and sexually appealing”.

Incredibly affordable unlimited hosting
I was with ANHosting for YEARS because of their great support, excellent bandwidth and super cheap unlimited package WITH the full cPanel. They recently got bought out by the much more expensive and well-known Midphase, so my package has been scaled down and the price has gone way up. I am really bummed about this, but will be moving over to A2Hosting as soon as my contract is over. A2Hosting, aside from the extremely similar name has an uncanny resemblance to ANHosting in their package offerings and the exact same prices, that I have to wonder if it’s somehow them, or an offshoot of them… I thought I’d give you guys a heads up. I’ll be moving soon. If anyone wants to leave comments here on their experiences with A2Hosting, that would be super appreciated!
You can check out their packages and prices: A2hosting.com. Their single domain package starts at $3.92/mo and their unlimited package (the one I’ll be hosting on) is $4.90/mo. Sweet deal!
Oh, and whatever you do decide to get, of wherever you go for hosting, be sure to get cPanel in your package, and not some fancy looking admin system that will completely limit your developer.
PS: I found a discount code you can use this month for A2Hosting Web Hosting to get 51% off: Dont forget to use the coupon code 51FAST to save on your first web hosting invoice!
Mosaic Moon – fine hand painted and hand dyed yarns
It’s hard to believe I was gifted this highly coveted skein set and it’s in my mitts! This gittery hand-crafted mini skein set made by Morwenna Palmehn of Mosaic Moon™ was inspired by the 4th Dr. Who’s scarf. I’m thrilled to be working on her new line of packaging to go with her lovely logo designed by the illustrious Echo-X, and soon a new website will be in the works too! The colours are truly amazing. I’m a little bit intimidated by the yarn (due to my rather average knitting skill) and hope I don’t waste it on the wrong project. But I’m going to do it anyway!!!
Jacob’s Well – one of the most dangerous dive spots on the planet
The largest underwater cave in Texas has been known to swallow people whole, it has also provided a nearly non-stop source of water for thousands of years. Jacob’s Well is an amazing sight to see, as the water from deep within the well pools out into a natural spring that runs off into Cypress Creek.
DJ Arch JR – My DJ King of Kwaito
