Gift to Myself

Every year I buy myself something special for my birthday.
I'm a little early this year, but since I'm placing a mail order during the holiday season, I decided to go ahead and do it now, to be sure it will be here on my birthday.

This lovely figurine, by Jody Bergsma, is on its way to me from Gaelsong. The piece is called "Release Your Dreams." It resonates beautifully with what's going on in my life these days.

Office Space

The wolfling and I are cleaning today. Since moving to The New Place, I've been maintaining a higher degree of order and cleanliness than any other time in my life, but every so often there's a need to spend a chunk of focused time going deep.

The challenge I'm facing is office/desk space. I have three "desks" right now: the built-in space upstairs (no windows, no air, chair in hallway), the new desk in my bedroom (beautiful, chair blocks door to bedroom), and the dining room table (wide, nice location, but quickly becomes impossible to actually eat there).

I need to figure out how to organize my stuff so I can find things I need, work on multiple projects, and be comfortable. I like working at the dining room table because it's spacious and allows me to enjoy my downstairs domain. But my bedroom is a very nice space as well. And the upstairs spaces are better for storage.

*sigh
What I need is a 3-bedroom unit so I can have an actual office, not just a work space. (Or three. . . )

Rescuing the Hero

Last night was hard. I was restless, skittish, and couldn't feel LM near me. When I sent my consciousness out to find him, I had the sense he was in a small, dark, cave-like space. When I was able to communicate with him, he assured me that he was fine. I got the sense that he was working on some task and not able to come to me. So I withdrew and settled down to sleep.

This morning we were quietly snuggling on the couch after my practice, when all of the sudden I felt his presence fade away.

This has happened a couple of times in the past: I'll be engaged with him, either within a full-scale inner journey or in a ritual, and all of the sudden something happens that takes him away from me -- and getting him back is not a simple matter of focusing my will.
