This is how I’m feeling about jQuery. A something or other that helps one do very special and wonderful things with JavaScript. I feel like a total dummy. The book, jQuery for Dummies, arrives before the weekend… Until then perhaps this diagram will help me. It is taken from the first chapter of the book.
Bramble and Sophie
I was searching for blackberry/bramble photos for a new box design and came across these two adorable critters. With a cute story. Wanted to remember.
Deer With A Broken Leg
Could be a nice seque into a piece on Frieda Kahlo or into my state of mind today or a commentary on the Rigid Container.
Let’s pick door #3. I’m trying to sit with it because this is burned into the wood. The only options would be live with it or cover it with something, like a burned oak leaf… At any rate, the gods won’t be mad over any perfection. HA!
Licton Springs
The spring near my home. The city finally started doing something to save this little park. Folks are starting to discover it and make offerings too which is so cool. There was a homeless guy sleeping 15 feet from the spring so there is still work to be done to make it feel safe for all. But man, you get to the spring and peace descends. It’s pretty darned neat. I forgot my camera so these are from my phone. Not crisp at all but you get the vibe. The next day when I went back to leave an offering of apples the two sticks forming an equal armed cross were gone. I found them in the bush next to the spring, one broken in half. I brought the whole one home it asked so nicely.
Joyous and Abundant Mabon
To all of you may this equal day and night be a time of abundance, joy, love, and blessings…

I feel like I’m back to celebrating the Sabbats again. For well over a year they have held little joy for me and it’s been darn near impossible to decorate for them, to feel them close to me. That has changed.
Yesterday I harvested rowan berries and branches, hawthorn berries and branches, and fresh spring water from a lovely spring in a city park. They made a well out of the spring and it runs off into the woods. Some one had made an equal armed cross out of branches over the opening when I went to gather water. I take it as a sign that those of us who practice the craft are beginning to pay attention to this lovely place and bless it.
I got another job nibble from another head hunter, a written essay test and a phone interview. No word back as to whether their client wants to meet with me but it’s really all about the energy flowing in a positive way This is an indication to me that it is These nibbles have been in my field too. Not admin but web. It feels promising but I’m very low on funds so must beg a little longer for assistance from the folks. Need more than a nibble soon. Update: Just as I was ready to post this the headhunter contacted me, I have an interview with their client tomorrow morning.
D and I are doing really, REALLY well. Healing is happening, open and freeing conversation is happening. Neither of us wants to risk future tripping or trying to make anything happen, we want this relationship to manifest organically in exactly the way it is supposed to. We are not a couple but we are not friends. What we have is something different. We are both treading very gently there. I have to say though that I have never exchanged energy with another human the way D and I do. It is intense. There is lots of whooshing connected love energy exchange going on. Never felt anything like it, we are both enchanted. We are doing things differently from our past relationships. We have only ever snuggled and held hands. Neither of us is ready for sex, emotionally, spiritually, or physically, and we honor that in each other. So far, in so many ways, this is the most important relationship of my life. The most intense, the most healing, the most challenging, the most learning, the most empowering, and simply the most amazing experience to date.
