2uesday, You make a very good point. Thanks for adding it as it makes good practical sense.

Arlene, I'm with you although some of us are certain as to what we will not tolerate many want desperately to learn how to keep their man and avoid cheating in the future.

I know that whether I think of a priestess of the Mother, it's your face which comes first into my mind. You were the one who taught me to look past the children to what the Mother really is; even while you were caring for your actual kids.

I always appreciate your insights, particularly on subjects like this, where I know your knowledge is so superior to my own. I'm still learning, but then I've seen it all too. Always depending upon what 'it' is.

I'm so sorry to hear again of your friend. It was a chilling story the first time I heard it. In context, with a coda now, it's even more powerful.

Brenda, I bet it is the gluten putting you out. It has the same effect on me. I literally will be nodding off at the table if I eat gluten. Enjoy, her recipes are wonderful.

belinda, Good idea plus it's so good for anyone to eat gluten free.

Sheri, You really can add anything, I almost always don't work with beads only. :)

I'm reading 'The Killer Angels' now. It's only just started but it seems very comprehensive so far. Let me know what happens if you do go there.

Of course it did! I'd rambled on a bit about the Mother - the Dark Mother particularly and Her compassion and focus on discipline...what I especially appreciated reading about is that you don't have to have children of your body to be a mother - that's so very true - I have been talking with a woman I've known most of my life but have only just seen for the first time since I was small...she's the woman whose daughter was my best friend and she'd been kidnapped and killed when we were very little. She's physically in Crone mode but though you'd think she'd have been stuck in Mother, she's not - she's very much a meld of Maiden and Crone - Crone when she weaves and Maiden when in every day conversation, etc. We came back together for the first time in more than 35 years this past spring - took one look at each other (her daughter was my best friend) and just both started crying and laughing and holding on - she said later that having me hold onto her while she cried felt safe and as if I was the mother here...not her....I reminded her that I am a mother LOL but also that I'm Dedicated to the Mother and when compassion is needed sometimes I can't help but mother people who need it the most - nurture....the Mother can be a tough love type, too, reminds me of my grandmother when we're at the table and supposed to be doing things the way we're supposed to be doing them but then suddenly someone cracks up and the laughter rolls through the room...they peek at mom thinking she'll be surpremely pissed only to find she's smiling, too and even joining in on the laughter...but things still happen as they're supposed to. I'm not really able to put it into words, not being a grand writer LOL but I've felt more at peace being Dedicated to the Dark Mother and honoring her Three-in-One Faces, She's helped me be more compassionate and helped me find my backbone when I've needed that, too.

Colour me there. I've some friends who have been and said they had some pretty intense experiences - I'm fascinated with it and would love to go there. Someday!

I've seen Elizabeth on the book promotion circuit. I just might take a look at her book now. In recent years, bread and other carbs put me to sleep. Maybe it's the gluten.

If I had a choice, I'd like to be a Scots Pine, with Red Squirrels bouncing around in my branches. What a good idea this is.

I need to check one of these out. My writing group has a couple of people who have to eat gluten-free foods. Would be nice to have some good recipes for pitch-ins. Thanks!

These bracelets are beautiful. Glad you added them. Now I have to go digging into my bead collection and see what I can put together.

I did learn to have lucid dreams years ago, but I stopped because I woke up too many times at night. I needed my seep too. But it was interesting. I didn't know it could be useful.

Informative and vital information. thanks for keeping us in the know. :)K
