He who controls the Spice, controls the universe! --DUNE2006--1-2-T11: 1:2:-08:00I am a traveler--in my mind and body. I have been studying with spiritual (indigenous) peoples for some time now and have seen and learned things that I feel blessed to know and have experienced.It is strange but the music of 3 bands-AFI,Enigma,and Rush changed my life. They got me motivated and gave me the ability and will to heal myself when everyone in the Western medical community said I could not make it. I will thank these bands here as I do not wish to invade upon them, so...THANKS! I thank the Inuit's, Aleuts, Navajo, Cheyenne, Lakota, Thakar of India, and of course the Yanomami (also called Yanomamo) I have had the privilege of participating in some very sacred and ancient rituals. I have learned more from these people about plants, meditation, spirits, nature, etc then a lifetime of academia study! (with all due respect) I will continue my quest and travels. I do want to add that I do NOT condone use of any chemicals or plants other then in a ceremonial, sacred and reverent environment. It is best to have studied with the shaman or vision quest guide and also to have prepared your mind and body with fasting, meditation, no sex, or other ways and means that are needed. I will update as it comes to me!

I "Clicked" back ,not speaking squirrel, and it still stayed stretched out like that was a spa or some lounge chair!
He cocked his head and looked at my camera and than looked away uninterested. I swear he was laughing at me. I think he was mocking me! HA! Silly thing... He was still stretched out on his limb as I flipped him off (the neighbors probably thinking I AGAIN had lost it --or was drinking Absinthe once again) and i clicked ,snapped another picture in defiance of that damn rodent and walked away.
These city squirrels are just pushing it. :-)]]>http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/thumb-msg-121927355582.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/synd-msg-121927355582.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/mob-msg-121927355582.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/gallery-msg-121927355582.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/large-msg-121927355582.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/feat-msg-121927355582.jpgPale, but she no sparkle in zee sunlight.

THEY told me I was an "angel' brought to THEM by circumstance, and pomp, yet THEY played the dead man hand and lost the last card. I am what I am, like Blanche DuBois , a creature of habit and making --from finer things turned sharp, dirty and secret!
Them bones are rattling and you told me lies-sweet lies out of fear or me, to lull me into a complacent child of golden halos and better known things,
Yet you had to,you mused -- black clawed wings battened down with twine saved from your Christian holidays, from left over packeges sent and duck tape used to keep the cold out, MY salt arounf the windows-THE NOISE AND SCREECHING--
the black wings crushed to my skin rubbing into me into a feeling a shame for my nature, or was I dreaming? My eyes rolled back a murky white,still seeing more than I dared!
That ANGEL was ME, little lost one, misplaced placental thing they called "unwannted child," (just a small stranglehold will do) while others of kin blood took my place of pain down the years and hands reaching over THEIR beds , grabbing and wanting, taking what they NEEDED--MY place, MY fate stolen.
The hate is now --and than too.

emanate a sense of permanence. And though rooted in earth, they seem to touch the sky.
For these reasons it is natural to feel we might learn wisdom from them, to haunt about
them with the idea that if we could only read their silent riddle rightly we should learn
some secret vital to our own lives; or even, more specifically, some secret vital to
our real, our lasting and spiritual existence.

A Fey Calling by Kia
I spyed this grove so quietly while following a fairy to a dream.
I dare not breath for kind the Fey, they make you eat and drink..you stay... Forever more in illusions lost until you break thy spell uncrossed!
So careful you that meets the wee folk .. give them space ,respect their Oak beyond that gate sits realms unknown ...the ones you too may well be shown.
If one day their path you cross, remember all and you'll not be lost! Quick, take the laugter, visions and joy but leave the food and drink... be coy.
When time has spent its day towards dusk, do what thy will... you you must...
Take a step --turn thrice and chant," Respect I leave I take my flight, I bod farewell so I might, I had no wine,ale or fruit and danced only to God Pans Lute
Its time to go to turn away before I can't take back this day. Goodbye my friends I bid you well and leave my tears, an earthen well.
Look to the sky and close your eyes come back to self to realize, your back amounst the Human kind ...do not forget what you did find so keep it locked with in your heart and every more be they apart"]]>http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/thumb-msg-121844129452.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/synd-msg-121844129452.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/mob-msg-121844129452.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/gallery-msg-121844129452.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/large-msg-121844129452.jpghttp://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/kiastar67/default/feat-msg-121844129452.jpgA R-O-P-E- E-N-D-S I-T (an Anagram)buzznet:user:entry:id:417765712008--0-8-T10: 1:4:-08:002008--0-8-T10: 1:4:-08:002008--0-8-T10: 1:4:-08:00kiastar67 A Rope End It is why I drink IT. I thought it was a bit ironic to find it .my daughter loves the sugary Sangria Senorial. A Rope Ends it says it all but not what you think. As with the drink, things,like words, are sometimes not what they seem, hidden in other words,words within words and mixed up,like I am.
I bought some because it reminded me of another drink I indulge in.
This is Sangria Senorial
The Origin of Sangría
Sangria is the result of traditional Spanish ways of making and drinking wine. There is no official history regarding sangria but it is believed that the "invention" dates from ancient times. Most Mediterranean wines from the classical period were sweetened in some form, and it is probable that during this period sangria (wine + fruit juices) became accepted thanks to its refreshing mixture.
The name "sangria" refers to the color of the wine used: traditional strong red wines with purplish highlights, often found in coastal areas and similar to the color of blood ("sangre" in Spanish means blood).
