I don’t care what faith you have, so long as you have it. I couldn’t give a shit less if you worshiped the Flying Spaghetti Monster or returned to atheism or stick by the Christian beliefs you have now. All that matters is that you have something loving and spiritual and beautiful to rely upon and you have faith that your God is there and He listens to your prayers and He answers those prayers. All I ever want for anyone is a loving faith that is perfect for them, that excepts them for who they are and what they think, and makes them a better person.

The Woman Who Dwells
The woman who dwells at the place of healing by the river
sits singing and sings the shape of the gods from the four directions;
sings onto the horizon the four mountains where the gods dwell;
sings into the bare sky the small cloud moving in brightness;
sings into the bare earth the growing tip of the corn;
sings the river into a singing curve around her;
sings herself into the center of herself, alive and listening.
The woman who dwells in the place of healing by the river
stirs not from her place, goes not to the far mountains,
soars not into the high sky, enters not the deep earth;
sings as she draws into the sand the circle of healing;
sings the gods from the four directions into that circle;
sings the growing cloud into the reach of her own heart;
sings herself into the spear of the green corn growing.

Two Steps Forward …
Odin’s Day, Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Pisces
I’ve felt terrible for the last two days; not sleeping, odd aches, brain turned to mush. In part it’s because of the time of year and the weather; I can’t tell you how many winters I’ve spent almost continually sick. But I have to admit that another part is not knowing what the frell I’m doing. Why am I doing affirmations? Is it to convince myself of stuff or to try and create good vibes for others? Is lighting a candle for the gods or to make me feel better? Am I trying to do work for the gods, or just trying to make myself feel better? I know that if I skip things, nobody will notice — except me, and I’ll just fall back into that apathy that comes with depression.
I’ve been sitting on my keister for years now. I have incredible freedom to do whatever I like, and I’m not using it because it’s easier to just let the world slide by. I’m sick of that. What I need, and don’t have, is discipline. Right now it doesn’t really matter why I’m doing these things; what I need is a framework, a discipline, and the meanings will come in time. Establish the basic habits, and then I’ll be ready for meaningful additions as I find them. Gods, I hope that makes sense …
