a feather in the stars

i often find myself contemplating whether our lives are predestined by the stars or just a collection of happy go lucky occurrences. never wanting to settle on either side, i'd rather enjoy pondering both views of existence.  on one hand, I embrace the freedom of thinking that every day is a new opportunity with boundless possibilities.on the other hand, it's comforting to know that there is a purpose in all the little lessons learned along our journey which eventually lead to some sort of truth in life. 

With this balance, I can conclude that there just may be a deeper meaning to this incarnation.  but for now, the best I can do is be a witness to the incidents that cross my path ; take them in, grow from them, be conscientious of them, and know that in awareness there is always a chance for love.

As I usually read my horoscope daily, which is an ancient practice in reading the influence of cosmic energies on different zodiacs.. I've decided to balance this out by choosing a tarot card every day to see what the luck of the draw may hold.  Even though believing in tarot readings would simultaneously mean you believe in a certain destiny, i like the fact that in choosing my 1card out of the 78 possibilities for the day, i in some way have brought this fate upon me, and therefore, i have a say in my own destiny. 

the wheel of fortune card  is one of the 22 cards of the major arcana.  as the 56 cards of the minor arcana reflect day to day events, the 22 cards of the major arcana reflect spiritual lessons in our life.  this card, as with all other tarots, can convey many different meanings as they depend on the individual at question as well as the interception of the other cards that come up.  in a reading the wheel of fortune tells you of a pivot point in your life, where new options become possible, that are distinctly personal and it may require making a first step on a new and unfamiliar path. Through meditation, the Wheel of Fortune can assist and reinforce your intention to bring increased abundance, good fortune and prosperity into your life. This card allows your life to turn in more positive directions if you are willing to grow and expand. this card indicates changes, and a new beginning of a life cycle. 

"Through all the changes the Life brings, I feel the centre of stability which is within me."
-biddy's tarot reading 





... as fate would have it, my horoscope today starts out wtih, "  You are craving emotional excitement, stimulation, and something new and alive." 

look up !

tonights moon looks like the cheshire cat.  don't go chasing rabbits, your bound to fall !

whats the difference between a raven and a writing desk ?

love in her eyes & flowers in her hair

led zeppelin, "going to california"  lyrics: 

Spend my days with a woman unkind

Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine

Made up my mind, make a new start

Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart

Someone told me there's a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet-plane

Never let 'em tell ya that they're aw-ooh-all the same

Hoh, the sea was red and the sky was grey

I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today-hee

Mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake

The children of the sun begin to awake

Now

Watch out

It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose

And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'

Throw me a line, if I reach it in time

Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

Find a queen without a king

They say she plays guitar and cries and sings, la-la-la-la

Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn

Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born

Standin' on a hill in the mountain of dreams

Tellin' myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems

Tuesday Inspiration

I'd known of Kassia Meador as a roxy pro surfer.. went on some date to an art exhibition and was surprised that she was a featured artist at the show.  even though the dude didn't last, i did manage to fall in love that evening....

i just love the vintage style of imagery she uses

the next three pictures were used in a photo journal she made while in morocco

that last picture is my favorite ever, ever.  well, for today..

let your breath be a light...

every morning i like to take time to quiet my mind.  i sit, close my eyes, and picture breathing a light in and out. i direct the light into my heart inhaling for inner peace, and exhale this peace out from my heart into the entire universe.
this practice slows my ever stimulated brain cells, awakens my heart, and reminds me that i am human...
