What a nightmare.

This is for others that consider themselves earth empaths.

Emotionally, pain-wise it has been a nightmare. There has been some release from the 8.8 earthquake, but to be honest, I feel like a hyperactive child right now. I feel we are going into a new time…this is going to become commonplace.

I weep for our lost souls, I weep for our animal life that is very in tune with this, as some of us are…it is not easy.

Trying to keep some sort of balance. Love helps.

Wow, pretty warm…

Kinda happy. It is a warm day out there, lovely and beautiful, and I got a couple of special pieces of mail from my boy. Sorry, Dixon, I know you object to the sexual harassment of being called boy, but you will have to get over it. Anyhow, I really want to thank you for being such an incredible friend. Your card with the photos of Reagan, Bush and Nixon really cheered me up LOL, not to mention your various ramblings on Chuck Norris. (To the rest of you, forget it….ha)

Anyhow, warm! Didja see what the temps are up in Nunavut, Iqaluit? Tomorrow gonna be high of -3 Celsius. That, friends, is pretty warm for our Arctic friends.

Ahhh, how I love the north, and desire to be there…sorry, Dixon, not particularly desiring the desert.

Cheer up kids, Spring is coming soon…

Anyhow, hope your Monday is going well, everyone!

Anger

Can one really comprehend the anger that we so rightfully have?

Why is it, when one exhibits anger, it is unhealthy? It is called negative thinking, it is not allowed to grow or be sustained…one is subjected to a myriad of judgments based on the exhibition of said anger…

I am curious, though. What is worse, instantaneously showing such anger while you are feeling it, or burying it only to allow it to eat at your very soul? Wouldn’t it be safer to find an outlet, such as writing or the like, than to allow it to fester and go totally nuts?

I think there is something wrong with a society that suppresses emotions. I think, unless we start acting on our instincts in a safe manner, events will keep boiling and seething until the point of no return.

Get angry. Yell out the window, tell us how you feel, do not hold back! I have seen so many people being eaten alive by not being allowed to feel, by not being allowed to show. Show love. Show anger. Show pain and sadness! It means you are REAL. So much in this world is painfully unreal, all for appearances. Take back what you are.

You are appreciated, regardless.

Upheaval

Feel like screaming

I cannot

I am trapped within myself

Nature around me dying,

MY nature dying…

Wilted flowers

The pain from an empty room

The wretched thoughts of

An instinct unrealized…

No God watched over me

No angel came upon me

Silence…emptiness

A black mark upon my soul

As you suffer

So do I…

Meaningless in the scheme of things

Desire a mere thought

Emotion, feelings mocked

Broken, but not quite gone…

Remember, remember

It will save the day

It will grow again!

Lest We Forget

I look upon this landscape

With glances of simultaneous

Horror and revulsion…

The painful reality

Of a lost time

Starts to seep in…

My people that once

Roamed on this land

Sacrificed, for what…

A new aching

A new longing

For something that will never be…

Lost amongst your skyscrapers

Your towers of metal

Concrete all around…

You have lost your senses

By default, I lose mine

No longer sure of my path…

Where do I go to find safety?

Where do I find solace?

I must be easily replaceable…

You look into my eyes.

Ignore, scoff and pretend

I am not here…

I do exist

I do know you are here

Please do not ignore me…

For I am your

Past, present and future

And I will not let you forget.

Quotes from the Havamal

Some nice stuff for your Valentine’s Day!

Always rise
to an early meal,
but eat your fill before a feast.
If you’re hungry
you have no time
to talk at the table.

Never walk
away from home
ahead of your axe and sword.
You can’t feel a battle
in your bones
or foresee a fight.

The unwise man
is awake all night
worries over and again.
When morning rises
he is restless still,
his burden as before.

Be your friend’s
true friend.
Return gift for gift.
Repay laughter
with laughter again
but betrayal with treachery.

Cattle die,
kinsmen die
the self must also die;
I know one thing
which never dies:
the reputation of each dead man.
