Divisions and Precisions

The Big Sleep

Today was one of those days.. you know, those days where you don't get anything done? I didn't actually manage to drag myself out of bed until nearly 5 pm. Of course I didn't get home until nearly 2:30 am, and wasn't in bed until 3:30 or so. The meeting went very very well. I'm glad I went. Helix was a spiritual sort of circle that did a lot of good things before it sort of fizzled. After last night, it looks like it might be... reborn, sort of, but as a very different sort of thing. Much smaller and more close-knit. I'm looking forward to having some sort of 'home', so to speak. Everyone in the group seemed very open to the idea of me exploring all the areas I have interests in, even including Christianity. That's really rare for most pagan groups.. at least, the ones I've run into so far. And I might actually manage to drag myself out of bed to go to church tomorrow, unlike last week.

I didn't get to see "The Blair Witch Project" after all. The meeting ran later than we thought, and we got to the theatre about ten minutes before the show was supposed to start. The lobby was absolutely packed. I overheard someone saying something about "Runaway Bride", so I thought maybe they were there for that. Ha. When I got up to the ticket counter, the guy looked at me like I was stoned when I asked for four tickets to TBWP. He pointed behind me at the seething mass of people and said, "See those people? It sold out an hour ago." Ah well. I had thought about going to see it this afternoon, but... movement wasn't happening today.

For last night's Helix meeting, we met near campus, on South University, and once we were all together, went further into the Quad, where the six of us sat around in a circle under the trees. Wonderful, wonderful place to have the discussion we did. We talked a lot about what we wanted out of any sort of spiritual/religious group, and what we didn't want as well. I feel like I got to know everyone a little better, although I already knew several pretty well. I also found out just how incredibly out of shape I am. I've been realizing it, but dodging it, for the past couple months. Now I'm at a point where my lifestyle is going to be changing again.. and to keep up with that, I need to be in better physical shape. We didn't walk that far at all, but it was much, much farther than I'm used to. That's part of the reason I slept as long as I did today. So I'm thinking it's time for me to start swimming again. Good a place to start as any, better than most.

I learned a great song yesterday too. It's a blessing, although I can't remember what it's called. "The Passing Time", I think.

May you walk the shores of harmony
May you live a life of peace
May you fill your cup of joy
May you all find hope

May you play among the stars
May your wishes have wings
May you know who you are
And may you live your dream
