The Current Task

[qos]

The central challenge of my spiritual path right now is to become joyfully engaged in life while remaining unafraid of death.

I've got the second part down -- but not fearing death doesn't mean a lot if my life feels empty and joyless.

I need to spend more time with Persephone -- and more time connecting with things that can be sources of satisfaction and happiness in daily life. I do try to do the latter, but I feel as if I'm starting almost from zero.

I'm being challenged by Dionysus right now to rediscover "the wine of life". If I come up with anything I think may be of use or assistance to you, I'll share...

Thank you.

I've gotten word that I should be seeking him out as well. . .

I preach simplicity

Revel in the smell of an herbal tea, the bliss of a hot shower, the particular pattern of an animal's fur. You'll get there. Use your senses, and you'll find the joy everywhere.

I like how you think.

Greetings, and thank-you for the friend invitation.

I checked out your journal and saw that you've only just joined LJ so you don't have much in the way of content yet.

You're welcome to read this journal and comment, but because of the more private and sensitive nature of my friends locked posts, I only add people I've had a chance to get to know more deeply. I'm open to getting to know you better as you spend more time on LJ.

Solstice blessings to you. . . .
