Soooooo,NOW I'm stuck with 752 on my brain....make it go away!


                          
 

Am I The Only One?

I am so sad ....every other month,every other day,every other hour,every other minute,every other second_"Evil" is "Perpetrated" on innocent people going about the business of enjoying their day,working,sightseeing,shopping,traveling,etc. All because of someones belief that somehow these people deserve to be victims of a crazed minded few. It is a wearisome concept that seems to be growing, eating into our existence,our being_deep within the crevices of our DNA_ to the very depths of our Spirit and Soul. Day in Day out one has come to expect ..where will it happen today, what are the headlines today,who will the next victims be,when will it STOP?,how long will we endure this insanity,WHY?...

And ,WHO is this walking around on the top of a building at the Boston Marathon 2013 above the bomb mayhem?

So tired of it all. I had to reach deep inside my psyche today to find solace.I am a child of the Era of Peace & Love, the 60s!

Although,there was much injustice in the world as it is now_there was a sentiment of Peace, Love, Flower Child( a Hippie who advocates love,beauty,& peace),Woodstock 1969_ "The Human Be-In"(1967) at Golden State Park in San Fransisco.This led to the Hippie Culture_"Summer Of Love" on the West Coast!!

            (Notice the pistol with a flower inserted in it)

~CAN WE HAVE ANOTHER SUMMER OF LOVE?

Have we become a culture of this?

I was reminded of the song that touched my heart then and now_"Imagine" sung by John Lennon. For those of you who maybe...just maybe never heard it_read the lyrics first_

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

(Note:"Imagine" is a song written and performed by the English musician John Lennon.The best-selling single of his solo career, its lyrics encourage the listener to imagine a world at peace, without the divisiveness and barriers of borders, religions and nationalities, and to consider the possibility that the focus of humanity should be living a life unattached to material possessions.)

Here's John Lennon_

~Reflections:The Garden of My Mind~

There comes a time in the daily occupational habit of Tex ting this or Twitter that, Comment on this, Like that, Smart phone this, Email that, Social Network this, Newsgroup or Video transmit that, MySpace, Blogger, Cyber Chat, Virtual World....etc. that one has to  say ....STOP! Let me off this Merry-Go-Round! That is exactly what I did...rested my brain! But, we are all creatures of Habit_ so I'm back...with a renewed attitude!

While in downtime_ BTW, "Try  It, You might Like it"_ I reconnected to a book that developed my roots on thoughts in the "Garden of my Mind" in the 70s.

In 1902,James Allen a British Philosopher,Inspirational/Self-Help Guru became the Pioneer for the Self-help movement by publishing his most known work_"As A Man Thinketh".Loosely based on the biblical proverb,"As a man thinketh in his heart,so is he."This book eventually became read all around the world,which positioned Allen posthumously as one of the pioneering figures of modern inspirational thought. When he died in 1912 his wife wrote this about him:

"He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice."

                                                                   James Allen

Here's the 1982 "Political Correct" edition for Women_of which it's time for me to replace the one I've carried in my purse for some 15 years at least.I use to buy copies and just randomly give them to Kindred Spirits along the journey of Life.

Today, with the Media Culture we live in everyone seems to be "Connected" in some form or fashion. We've all become "EXPERTS" on various subject matters, people sit behind their computer screens spewing Hatred, Disrespect, Fashion Police on every corner,My Way or The Highway Egoist,Opinions rage like the eye of a storm on this or that, typing nastiness, even as you read this Post. AND_ without fear of EVER running into the person they just DISSED...Okay! Mmmm that would be  a very different dialogue if they could be one on one, yes...I think people would NOT be so prone to go there face to face! I needed to put my  "Thinking Cap"on_so,I put myself in "Time-Out" removed myself from all the negativity to get back in touch with my Inner-Self!

I was reminded of  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche's book_"Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None". My desire was to travel back to my roots on thoughts and circumstances, re-discover my Pedagogy (the science & art of Education) without all these media-hype/tools.I wanted to quieten  my Mind_The Garden of My Mind. So,I read "As A Man Thinketh" for the 1,100th time! The chapter on "Effect of Thought on Circumstances",here's a wee bit...

"Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life".

"If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind."

With that being said, I'm good now! All this media stuff,especially the nasty ones seen on comments via Yahoo news,Facebook,etc..was getting to me.The power of a "Mental-break "was good.I re-learned that I can and will choose my reactions /thoughts to all this "Comment-itis" around the Internet_thus becoming "The GateKeeper of my Mind"...again!!!!Valuable Lesson,Capital idea....INDEED! 



  "Master Gardener of my Soul,
                 Director of my Life &
                                  Gatekeeper of my Mind"!!!

                                             

                                        
                          "Peace be Still"

 

"Keep Calm and Get Your Irish On Party 2013"

~Mums...The Word on "Mummers"~

When I met my husband 18 years ago,I became involved with learning about his ancestral homeland_ Ireland.He served as   President of the Ft.Worth Irish Association.I was delegated to help write the Newsletter.My kind of fun!!_I researched various aspects of the Irish Culture and participated in many community functions i.e. Annual N.Tx.Irish Festival,Celtic Heritage Festival,etc._as a Tea vendor with my business "Let's Talk Tea". I acquired then and to this day..."The Celtic Spirit".

Among the many traditions of the Celts_"Mumming" is one that dates back to pre-Christain,pre-Celtic,even early Bronze Age(4 thousand years ago!). To be sure, a "Mummer" is a person who wears a mask or fantastic costume while merrymaking or taking part in pantomime during any festive season_especially Christmas and Spring.

"The Book of Secrets" certified double-platinum in USA.Has sold more than 4 million copies Worldwide! AWESOMENESS!

Recently, I added the above CD/DVD combination to my collection of all things "Loreena McKennitt". I consider her my "Kindred Spirit".Her music/video takes one on a Soul searching journey.

The manner in which her music infuses the poetry and traditions of centuries pass of many cultures in _
Keats,Shakespeare,Sufism,Paganism,Religion,Christianity,Islamic_stirs the mind,body and soul.It is like unlocking the Secrets to the Universe_a wee vision of the Spirits that inhabit the World.Polish the mirror of your Soul...keep an open mind and learn! 

The Mummer's Dance seen here is a song on the CD/DVD:

"The mummers would arrive at the door at night or at the end of the day, they would knock and their Captain (as the leader of a troupe is called) would shout or sing out a request for permission to enter. As soon as such permission was granted the troupe entered the house and the performance commenced. They might not always be invited into a house as there would be times when it might be inappropriate to have a performance in a house, e.g. if children were asleep, or a sick person present, or if there had been a recent death in the family, or something else of such nature. The important point here is that what instigated the performance was not the payment of money - the buying of a ticket - but rather the audience, the people in whose house the performance would be given, saying "Yes, come in and give your performance". So the exchange of money was not the vital instigating moment for the performance - "The important moment is when the host gives permission to enter. That response is crucial because people generally had no idea who these mummers were, they only knew that they belonged to the local community". So folk drama is about consolidating the values of the community, about reproducing the local community and allowing it to continue. Therefore it has a political as well as social value.

This form of "Irish Folk Drama" includes not only Mummers _but The Wrenboys,The Strawboys and The Whiteboys Connection as you will learn from the above source.Folk drama is the oldest surviving form of theatrics.

Ancient pagan rituals for good luck and fertility from the gods included many festivals,dancing,animal disguises and feasting.
Mumming shows began as miming performances and eventually grew to become more. The term mummers derives from the Middle English word mum which means silent. Words were finally added, but the original stories were often partially lost through translation and retelling of the story. It is also believed that these plays were performed around the end of the year and during the harvesting season because it was intended to be a celebration of the death of the year and its coming again in Spring.

In modern day_Mummers' Plays_there is a central incident of a killing and the restoring of life.The principal characters are a Hero,his chief opponent,the Fool,a quack Doctor who provides a cure to the patient_restoration of Life!

But wait_there's the ever popular Annual Mummers Parade in Philadelphia.Pa. & other cities held each New Year's Day believed to be the oldest folk festival in the United States.Here's a couple of colorful participants!

 

                                                            "The Holy Rollers"


And...The Mummers Museum in Philadelphia

The fact that "Mumming" traditions still exist today_says much about passing rituals onward_generation after generation,etc.With the Rites of Spring,Ostara,Spring Equinox upon us...I find it fitting to share a wee bit of Celtic tradition with you.I love the way Loreena McKennitt uses the "Book of Secrets" to explore this ritual....bring this Celtic Soul into your Life via her music.

 ~Until next time,
"Blessed Be & Bright Blessings"~
