New blog

I’ve started a new blog to reflect the new changes in my spiritual path.  This blog will most likely be used for the more mundane elements of my life and the other will reflect more of the spiritual areas, though I will continue to post what I please on either blog.  Chances are the new one will be more active than this one…I really haven’t figured it all out.  Just felt the need for a change. My life has gotten strange…I have to live my truth so this in part is how I’ve chosen to deal with it.

Any way, Star of Earth is the new blog.

Today’s panic induced temper tantrum

So yeah, I’m trying to write more but my life is a rat’s nest of anxieties. I often can’t figure out what to write. Today is another “I need to get it out of my head.” type of blog.

OOPS I broke his paradigm

Mermaid Tarot by Leeza Robertson and Julie Dillon

So in my daily reading, one of the cards I got was the above Knight of Swords. It was about the value of daily practice. We will see how I do, figuring out WHAT to write about is harder than actually writing.

Today I was reminded of something that happened to my son and I a couple of years ago.

Man with a giant cock

Get your mind out of the gutter. Not that kind of cock. Sheesh. What kind of pervert do you think I am? Wait, don’t answer that, I don’t think I want to know.

I haven’t felt the urge to write in years. Tonight I have the urge to write. And I’m going to write about how a man with a giant metal cock flipped turned my life upside down (humming Fresh Prince of Bel Air now, great). It is my tale of woe that made living through a pandemic extra difficult.

Rant

Feel free to ignore this but I have something trapped in my head that I need to air so that I can hopefully move on.

Warnings

Another creative writing prompt from Imaginary Garden. This time about a monster roommate.

In a way, it was my own fault
but I was desperate for a roommate.
I was desperate for the cash.
I should have known
when Teddy was scared of him.
I mean Teddy even likes the vet!
What dog likes a veterinarian?
And he did warn me.
He did tell me to stay out of his room
over the next three nights…
something about nightmares and battle reflexes.
But when I heard the howl,
I thought the dresser fell on him or something.
So I barged in…
and now, now Teddy is afraid of me.

Too Soon

Creative writing challenge prompt from Imaginary Garden with Real Toads. A young girl sings a song that, while beautifully done, is beyond her emotionally, I think. I see a girl trying to grow up too soon by emulating experience. I’ve been that girl…we’ve all been that girl…we didn’t listen either.

Young girl, run and play
it is too soon to worry
about things of the heart
plenty of time to be serious
now should be the time of laughter
of joy, of simple pleasures given and received
find beauty in doing, in being
not in appearances that change
by hormones, by time, by accident
it is too soon for the experience you think you want
it is too soon for eyes that have seen and felt too much
run and play for time slips by and you will be there soon enough

Writing Challenge – The Quest

I’ve been told I need to write more/again.  I have no motivation or ideas.  So today, I grabbed a magazine, opened it to a random page and wrote a short poem based on the first paragraph that my eyes saw.

The Quest

To grow temperate
Thru specially built walls
To improve yields
At the very end
A far cry from
Where one evolved

Wisdom of Anita Blake : Crimson Death edition

I still need to purchase the latest book.  So the last set of quotes for a time.

Wisdom of Anita Blake: Dead Ice edition

quotes…blah, blah, no one reading any way…cleaning off desk…

Wisdom of Anita Blake: Affliction edition

Again I need to clear desk space.  The next several books will probably shorter on quotes as I haven’t read them as many times so I get caught up in the story rather than catching the “wisdom”.  Hope someone besides me is enjoying these.
