where shall we get religion?

beneath the open sky, the sphere of crystal silence surcharged with deity

the midnight earth sends incence up, sweet with the breath of prayer

go out beneath the naked light and get religion there

~the dreaded lurgy~

this will be short and sweet for i came down with the dreaded lurgy on thursday and been in bed ever since.

i have not felt this poorly since i had swine flu a few years ago.

my do i feel dreadful

i got up this morning, as swampy was out walking flynt, to make myself a drink...when i managed this without coughing up a lung i was fairly optimistic that i was feeling better...better enough to have some time on the laptop, even if it is in bed.

well, no i am not really...i have a headache with it which is bringing me down.

so i thought i would pop by and say a big hello


hello


one thing i did do was delete my OU shortcuts from my desk top and presently waiting the delivery of a fresh batch of assorted size felting needles.
before the lurgy hit i took out a fresh, large notebook and sketched and made notes for all my ideas for *alittleeclectic*

oh but i am so keen to get well and start work!


i have to say since i made my decision i have felt amazingly liberated...i no longer wake in the night and worry about getting reading done, notes written, essays planned and written.

it feels so good!

Hope you feel better very soon so that you can get on with all your new craft projects. My DIL has just started needle felting too and is quite keen - though she is learning it so that she can teach the two boys how to do it. She's very keen on them learning to make things. Get well soon.

Sorry you're feeling poorly, do take care & rest!!

Amazing how coming to a final decision can put a mind to rest so ..... and how freeing little things, like deleting your OU links can be.

*H* ~ hope that your feeling better soon.

Song of Amergin


I am a stag of seven tines,

I am a flood across a plain,

I am a wind on a deep lake,

I am a tear the sun lets fall,

I am a hawk above the cliff,

I am a thorn beneath the nail,

I am a wonder among flowers,

I am a wizard: who but I

sets the cool head aflame with smoke?

I am a spear that roars for blood,

I am a salmon in a pool,

I am a lure from paradise,

I am a hill where poets walk,

I am a boar, ruthless and red,

I am a breaker threatening doom,

I am a tide that drags to death,

I am an infant: who but I

peeps from the unhewn dolmen arch?

I am the womb of every holt,

I am the blaze on every hill,

I am the queen of every hive,

I am the shield for every head,

I am the tomb of every hope.
All things share the same breath~the beast, the tree, the man, the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

The beauty of the trees,the softness of the air,the fragrance of the grass,speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,the thunder of the sky,the rhythm of the sea,speaks to me.

The strength of the fire,the taste of salmon,the trail of the sun,and the life that never goes away,they speak to me.

And my heart soars."
