No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.Words from Winston Churchill. He knew what he was talking about. An hour on Jesse yesterday cleared my head and blew out some of the insignificant crap put there by some rather insignificant people.
I have been reading a lot of blogs where people are listing the things they are grateful for. I am grateful that I can pretty much do whatever the fuck I please. It's that simple.
Be in Peace, babies.

well, that's a very good thing to be grateful for!
I'm not quite there yet. Oh but I am very much on my way.
In the words of Roberto Gary, we "lead charmed lives."
Beautiful picture! Glad you were able to clear your head ... I'm working on that very thing ...
I don't lead a charmed life, that implies that I am simply following that which is put in front of me. I MAKE my life...the good, the bad, the rewards and the consequences. I am my higher power. Way too selfish to give that authority to anyone or anything else. Rather a hedonistic view but it works for me.
Tammy, from our time spent together, I would say you are VERY MUCH almost there. Need any practice with that henna? I would gladly volunteer my tummy. I just got a whole boat load of body paints. A certain errant (deviating from the regular or proper course; erring; straying) monkey boy is soon to be my next canvas.
hey, whatever works ... we're all on our own paths. charmed, graced, blessed ... for me, it's all good. i do agree that i must be responsible for my choices - the good and bad of them.
"mistakes ... i've made a few"
Well, Padi that is the bottomline. To be at peace with yourself and do what you feel is right for you.
Agree with you about "I am my higher power", but I think it's not selfish.- could be somewhat self-centered, yes. Needs to be to listen to one's inner voice and follow it.
For me, it's simply that I'm not into a "higher power." I create my life. I'm usually confident, yet I have doubts sometimes, but those are not inspirational or creative blocks. They're a result of me rethinking my own position, reevaluating and being open to see the other side(s), but not necessarily follow that.
I'm independent and always have been, even though many think I'm so "sweet." There's a lot of spice mixed in with my sugar!
Other PEOPLE are part of my life. I don't look to the "heavens" for inspiration or faith. That "stuff" is here on this earth now, in each and everyone of us. That is the energy of connectivity I relate to, not of a higher power.
Gel,
That "stuff" is indeed here on earth. My actions come from my Self. As does my art. I can't get my head around the notion that there is someone or something that is so all knowing and powerful that they have the ability to influence, inspire, reward or punish me. Not that I am slamming deity here. There are Those Who Speak To Me. They just don't tell me what to do. I wouldn't listen anyway.
The Goddess ...... ? I know you dig her.
Hey, my HP isn't punishing as I once thought. For me - if my thoughts, words, and deeds result in difficulties, that's MY BAD. I need to own my crap and deal with it.
I'm perplexed by one of the comments you received ... but hey, it is what it is.
Can't wait for Friday!
Nope, not punishing. More like trying to teach you a lesson. Good thing we get more than one chance at learning them. I can tell you this...The One Who Speaks To Me wears a size 6 shoe...Her footprint is permanently imprinted on my butt.
I took a seminar once called The Zen Of Shit. All about our personal piles of it, and how we deal with it. Very cool. As we all know, size DOES matter, especially when it comes to our shovel.
And not only do I dig a Goddess, I dig a pony..and you can celebrate anything you want. YAY.
Rockin' goodness, my friend.
Time to dig out the white album.
