    I did some gardening today and posted some of the pics in my gallery. I did zinnias, begonias, a hydrangea ( I love hydrangeas) and some pink splash. Also finally planted the Japanese maple that was a holiday gift. It felt really good to be outside digging in the dirt. It's been a long time since I did any planting. Of course, I was in apartments for so long planting wasn't an option then. Really great weather for planting today. Anyway, that's all!

    Funerals...

    Tuesday, March 27, 2007, 10:05 PM CST [General]

     I was at my great-grandfather's funeral today at a very very baptist church and was elbowed by my aunt for not singing along when they sang a hymm. It was very awkward. I'm not "out of the broom closet" yet. Since I was 13 I haven't really been a practicing Christian so she knows I wasn't, she was just ... I don't know what she was doing. And really it was earlier than 13 I stopped having faith, I just finally felt at 13 that I could tell my parents. I was just wondering if any other closeted pagans had experiences like this. I wish I could tell my family, I know most would be cool about it, but the few that would be shocked would be very shocked. Luckily my grandparents aren't religious so I know they're behind me no matter what. It's just in my family, if you believe in something different, whether it be political or about the best way to make a pie crust you have to stand up and yell and argue about it. My family is very loud and defensive of their beliefs. I'm kind of a quiet person so I don't get too involved in most discussions, especially political, I'm in a small small majority on my family of my not being republican. 

     It really kills me though when they scoff at my earth friendly habits. It's not like I'm a big tree hugging hippie, preaching at them about recycling and global warming, they ask me why I do what I do, volunteering for Earth days, recycling, composting, I feel like they attack me. And if I hear another word about Al Gore from them so help me! They know I'm earth friendly and like to complain and point out what a hypocrite he is constantly when I'm around. I won't take the bait I smile and change the subject.  It's irritating is all and I just wanted to vent. ... thanks for listerning, er reading... any advice on how to cope (other than drinking, I hate hangovers) would be nice!

    I am Pagan

    Saturday, March 24, 2007, 08:47 PM CST [General]

    I am Pagan. I am a part of the whole of Nature. The Rocks, the Animals, the Plants, the Elements, and Stars are my relatives. Other humans are my sisters and brothers, whatever their races, colors, genders, sexual orientations, ages, nationalities, religions, lifestyles. Planet Earth is my home. I am a part of this large family of Nature, not the master of it. I have my own special part to play and I seek to discover and play that part to the best of my ability. I seek to live in harmony with others in the family of Nature, treating others with respect.

    I am Pagan. I see circles of change and renewal not only within my own life's journey, but in my heritage. I see my life as a circle that connects with the life circles of my ancestors. They are part of me and my life.

    I am Pagan. For every problem there is at least one workable solution as well as opportunity for growth. I create my own reality with my thoughts, feelings, and actions. Whatever I send out always returns. I seek to abide by the Wiccan Rede: "And It Harm None, Do What You Will."

    I am Pagan. I embrace Pantheism, acknowledging that the Divine is everywhere and in everything. I honor the Divine that is within the oak trees in the forest, in the herbs in the garden, in the wild birds singing in the trees, in the rock outcroppings on the hillside & in myself.

    I am Pagan. I know that Divinity has many facets and I experience this through a variety of Goddesses, Gods, and other spiritual forms. I also honor Divine Oneness, the Unity of All. My personal encounters with Pagan Goddesses, Gods, and other Divine forms have transformed and enriched my life.

    I am Pagan. My spiritual practices include self-acceptance and understanding, instead of self-rejection. I share my views with others when I sense it is right, but I do not proselytize, claiming my way is the only true right way for everyone. There are many paths up the mountain of spiritual understanding, not just one path.

    I am Pagan. I hear the cries of Mother Earth who is upset with the harm being done to the environment by humankind. I am dismayed by the pollution of the air, the soil, and the waters, and by the domination games being played by nations with the fire of nuclear missiles and other weapons of mass destruction. I also am concerned about spiritual pollution on the Planet -- selfishness, hatred, greed for money and power, addiction, violence, despair.

    I am Pagan. Nature Spirituality is my religion and my life's foundation. Nature is my spiritual teacher and holy book. I am part of Nature and Nature is part of me. My understanding of Nature's inner mysteries grows as I journey on this spiritual path.

    I am Pagan. I celebrate the changing seasons, the turning of the Wheel of the Year. I celebrate with singing, dancing, feasting, rituals, and in other ways.
