Quote: Watch along the mountain rim and see the morning birth
Listen for the wind song through the tree
Feel the life a'springing from Mon - o - lah, the earth
And you'll know the Way of all the Cherokee.
Know the death in life is here with every breaking day
That one without the other, cannot be
Learn the wisdom of Mon - o - lah,
and then you'll know The Way
And touch the soul of all the Cherokee.

August 20, 1998
Today was a day off - and I soon discovered that I really didn't want a day off. I wanted to work! I've started some paintings for the Expo and some experiments with ink...I really wish that I had a scanner here at the house so I wouldn't have to wait to put my art on the webpage. One of these days...one of these days.
I went to Tech yesterday to crawl the web - font and wav fever bit again. I came back with about 40 fonts, a few choice wavs (all Callisto from Xena, Warrior Princess except one - I never could resist Joxer) and a serious case of web hangover - eyes and head hurting from staring at the computer screen and a quesy stomach from all that scrolling through fonts and search engines (it's really motion sickness - think about it). Yep, I think I've been hooked by this overgrown Atari - much to my ire.
One bit of emergency today - one of the kittens fell into the pool and couldn't get out. Good thing for him that he isn't a quiet cat - his screaming is the only reason I knew anything was wrong. Of course, when I pulled him out, he wanted to sit on my shoulder - soaking me in the process. He wanted to share the experience, I suppose. I'm ready to get rid of that pool - I've already lost two cats to that damn pool and I don't want to lose any more.
Today, the military lobbed missiles at two targets in Afghanistan and Sudan. One was supposedly a training ground for terrorists and the other was manufacturing precursors for nerve gas. Of course, I had the same thought as everyone else at first - "Wag the Dog!!!" - but then, I thought of this: what if this was the inadvertant beginning of the 'big one' - WWIII? That thought came from somewhere in the depths of my mind...perhaps I listen to too many prophecy mongers when Art Bell has them on his show.
I have to admit it - I did think about it. A lot of the 'prophets' have said that the fit is going to hit the shan in the last half of this year...but skeptic that I also am, I'm pouring a big pile of salt to go with those thoughts.
One more thought before I toddle off to bed - I literally had a wake - up call the other morning. I woke up at 2:30 in the morning because I felt some - one or - thing near me. It wasn't dangerous - just near. I opened my eyes in time to see 'something' ethereal floating over my body from right to left (if you're curious - it was from south to north). I don't know who it was but...they woke me up. I was not happy. I decided with that little event, it was time to stop denying how things were and take care of matters so tonight I began making more 6th pentacle of Mars talismans. I guess I've been rather lucky (or perhaps, with the state I was in - I was looked over and not considered a threat or challenge) that no one has tried any magickal funny business. I've been quite irresponsible in letting the talismans that I put up before get in such bad shape - but that's being taken care of. Maybe now I'll be able to sleep peacefully...lol.
No big dissertations tonight - good night, all. Oh yeah - what do you think of the Geocities graphic I made?
