The Adventures of Paisley
Blue
Today I have focused a lot of energy on
researching information for a fictional short story I am
writing about Yule. My hope is that it will appear in an
upcoming issue of the Widdershins newspaper. It has been an
exhilerating experience so far, leading me off into tangents
that I never would have anticipated.
For instance, I
read with great interest Mike Nichols' article about why the
element of Air should be in the North. It made a lot of sense
to me. I intend to use what I read as a focus of meditation
and some experimentation. To me, that is exhilerating
mentally, to come across something that challenges the
commonly accepted views. I like having things to mull over.
My drawing has exploded recently and I am very
grateful for that. I went through a long dry spell where I
really could not bring myself to hold a pen in my hand, much
less try to draw. It was as if my creativity were blocked -
whether it was from the circumstances I was trying to survive,
or what, I'm not sure.
This morning I did a rune
reading for myself to try and get a handle on where I'm at and
what's going on with my life. I feel like the Goddess has
blessed me with the reassurance and guidance that I was
seeking. It is wonderful to be able to focus my energy and
questions in this manner. The drawstring on my bag of runes
broke, though. I believe the runestones are asking for a
personalized bag to live in - something I have meant to do for
a long time but just never quite did it. I am ready, now, to
create a bag and a cloth for doing readings. I have felt it
wanting to come out, and I know the time is now.
I
feel that I am on the edge of a lot of exciting things
happening in my life. This is just the beginning. It is
reflected in the way that I am trying to make my website here
a true refuge and respite, a place of beauty that calms and
soothes the soul as you surf through. I hope you enjoy it as
much as I do.
