Pythia, would fulfill certain rituals before she initiated herself into her spiritual role of prophetess: bathe, purify in the Castalian waters; dress in ceremonial robes; sit upon a tripod in the temple; inhale vapors arising from a chasm; fall into a state of trance; channel Apollo’s words. This is how I write. Of the rituals and potions; clouded memories and ecstatic states; unintelligible utterings, riddles and rhymes; of the momentary madness; alas, knowledge and wisdom arise.
I count the grains of sand on the beach and measure the sea.
I understand the speech of the mute and I hear the voiceless.

- Where once I was emptying - I now FILL. Where once I was undoing - I now DO. When once I began renewing - I am NEW. When Once I began the process of re-birthing - I am REBORN.

The Oracles of Delphi
One of the holiest sites of ancient
A most sacred and holy spot devoted to Gaea, the Earth Mother;
Of the many prophesies, advice, warnings and words of wisdom received from the Oracle; the most familiar, valuable and significant of these is: Know ThySelf.
In these words live truth, freedom, peace and understanding.
Know ThySelf
Thank you for visiting

You're working. Good. It made me happy to see your name as I was looking at some very old posts of mine.
Movies. Whoever would have thought....
Me too. Glimmer Train and Mirror Dance. More soon, I hope.
Best to you.
Thanks, Jon!!! So good to hear from you! I miss being on here...I am so busy with school - 2 schools both fulltime! But, I am loving it all and I will be done within the next year.
What is new with you? Are you still getting together on Thursdays? I have school until 11pm during the week. But i would LOVE to see you and Stewart!
Where can I see your movies??? How exciting!
PS are you on Facebook?
Lindy, I am happy for you!
A new artform is such a wonderful experience. I know, because I felt that way about writing when I was new to it. I still love it, though I can now agree with others that it can also be heartbreaking work. But I'm still here. Soon I will begin some new posts and start charting a new direction, or maybe sticking with the familiar. Whatever happens, I will be content.
Peace at ya~
