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

~too much~
i meant to post shortly after my last one but too much suddenly started to happen, its a long old story i wont go into
~to be honest i am lacking in spirit right now~
anyway my sister flew off to America last wednesday to get married...today in fact!
because her dog Billy (i rescued him many years ago and he lived with my mum and sister when i moved into a flat and could not take him with me) was so old i was popping into mums everyday to keep an extra eye on him.
well the thing we did not want to happen happened and i had to have poor little Billy put to sleep on friday.
why now, when my sister is so far away?
she is heart broken, totally devastated and i can only offer comfort via the telephone and texts~its all just dreadful.
to add to the pot it will be two years ago tomorrow that swampy and i had to send our beloved Cody over the Rainbow Bridge.
the only good thing is our little Flynt is two years old today! we are taking his to the vets to choose himself a nice new collar and we are eagerly awaiting his special stagbar-antler chew to come through the post!
i was going to make him a special birthday tuna cake but feeling a tad fragile today so he will have to do with a little nibble of cheese instead.
~*~*~*~
i think all the stress and strain of the past week has caught up with me as i spent most of yesterday in bed and i am not feeling much better today...however i do have something in my head but that will be a whole different post!

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."

Sorry to read about Billy but at least you could be with him and could offer him comfort for his last journey. It is always so sad but we must always tell ourselfs that we are so lucky to be able to help them like this in the end!
Happy birthday to little grown up Flynt!!
Losing a beloved pet is heart breaking and it must be so hard for your sister. Sending you all some sympathetic hugs.... *hugs*
