I'm eating big pink marshmallows and reciting the King and I 1,200 times
and we could divide that. Yes, such awareness of death. Since I must die than I must live. If only to leave behind memories for those who'll live a little longer
and then possibly for history sakes for namesakes.
It's all very sad, but I'm to blow a kiss right now.
Hold out your hand.

Our baby iguana escaped a few hours ago and I was looking everywhere, in the shoe closet, under the stove, etc. I found him finally, his body so cold, he stiff and looked lost in the eyes. I just put him back under his heat lamp. All is well for a little while, he can live for now.

I don't know what it is about today.
It's not that I don't like the idea of holidays,
but holidays bring expectations and traditions and a lot of garbage.

I'm gonna start a new tradition for today, to just eat big pink marshmallows or whatever it is that strikes me.

I'm not the best.

It all started with a dream I had about being in the holy land
scared sh*tless.

I have not watched the whole video yet, it keeps blowing me away.
I would love to see Malta and die.

In the meantime enjoy your day. Pretty quiet day here, whatever mom wants kind of day.

Many theologians and scholars believe the Holy Spirit written as, Pneuma in Greek everytime it appears in the New Testament, is a feminine being. Note that Pneuma is a neuter word in Greek, but in Hebrew the word Ruah (Spirit) and in Aramaic the word Shekinah (Presence) are feminine words and imply a feminine divine presence. The Holy Spirit is possibly a Christian Goddess, not a mysterious invisible member of an all-male Trinity "club." Or more provocatively, maybe there is a Feminine Trinity of God-the-Mother (Sophia and Mary?), God-the-Daughter (Mary Magdalene) and Goddess-the-Spirit-Presence (Shekinah, Ruah). The Holy Spirit appears at Yeshua's baptism in the form of a dove. The dove has long been a symbol of the Goddess in the Ancient Near East, and was never used to symbolize any male Being or God.

And what he saw then, he never saw after. The children especially going to school, the bluish doves flying down from the roofs to the pavement, and the little loaves covered with flour, thrust out by an unseen hand, touched him. Those loaves, those doves, and those two boys were not earthly creatures. It all happened at the same time: a boy ran towards a dove and glanced smiling at Levin; the dove, with a whir of her wings, darted away, flashing in the sun, amid grains of snow that quivered in the air, while from a little window there came a smell of fresh-baked bread, and the loaves were put out. All of this together
~Anna Karenina by Tolstoy

Anna and her son, for me the most poignant scenes in the novel. Loved that movie too. Not a bad version of the Novel I think. But it has been fifty years since I read the novel. The summer of 1962 was a Tolstoy summer. I read War and Peace and Anna Karenina straight through took me about a week. I lived in those novels that summer. Found shelter from the storm.

in the meantime all I can think of is running bear and little white dove

That made my whole smile.
