<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Hey Blogesphere, Usually I post late Sappyfest artistic impressions. It has come to my attention that this year I did not take on photography as a past time at the festival. Instead I picked up a couple of records. Hopefully I'll play some of them on air very soon. Pictured behind me is a an album I decided was a great investment. Not only does it look like an alien engineered space rock on the cover, it also has a very mesmerizing presence. Many amazing experiences were had at the little town rock festival this past summer. Pansophical Cataract by Man Forever was one of several exciting purchases. I haven't been on the air since my post-sappy fest radio show. I don't generally keep a track list but I know it was a blast as usual to dwell in that booth zone. I'll definitely be on air again soon. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/griffinwoods">www.myspace.com/griffinwoods</a> is where I keep a vague record of my radio missions.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">I was listening to some hip hop in my car today and reminiscing on all the diverse programming I have had the pleasure to experience on the radio. The best part of listening to the radio sometimes is that choice to continue to tune in or then again switch to cd or another station. Until next time the force is with you. Yours Truly Atlantic Muse.</span><br />

I've been remembering to include ritual and reflection into my daily routine a lot more regularly. I have moved to a new apartment, new City and I'm back in school. I love going to class and researching any subject in depth. I'm feeling very grateful and privledged to spend time learning about human physiology & all its complexity. Its all very new and I entered this course fully acknowledging that my base level of understanding was quite low. So I study & study some more and don't forget to play with the kids and laugh and smile.</div><div><br /></div><div> I continue my love of Great Coffee and have been exploring all different roasts. I love to take time cooking whole foods with patience. There is always much to discover in the food department. Today I had a delicious Pineapple, Peach & Spinach smoothie while rereading & writing out notes. Just thought I'd take a slight break and say more robust greetings to come once exams are through and my computer is friendlier. </div><div><br /></div><div>This picture is two years old but captures the back to school vibe. </div><div>Yo!

Its always been highlighted in some way by meaningful reflections. I remember as a school kid celebrating and focusing on environmentalism. This year My friends and I organized an Earth Day hike through the Amherst Bird Sanctuary. It was amazing with ten young children and many mothers and fathers. We headed off a bit late ... but made it to the beautiful mother tree and all the kids gave a big circle hug. Then we hiked for over an hour through wonderfully hilly trails and not too much mud. We saw lots of critters including chickadees, robins, blue jays and even a fe</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0); ">w deer at the end. Everyone felt loved by the Earth and our family of friends. We got bug & fairy tattoos, rice cakes, chocolate cupcakes and other snacks and lots of water.

There is this subgenre of zines entitled perzines in that they mostly contain the author's personal reflections. I realized that this is a seasonally themed perblog. I'm pretty autobiographically and definately try to hold back on all the details by sticking to a general theme of celebrations and holidays. An old friend of mine had suggested I blog in 2001 when I was doing an intensive study of French Feminism during my Philosophy degree. I wish I had at times but really didn't get it then. Probably still don't totally get it. I only used the internet for hotmail and "anti-globalization" activism at that time and really had no idea how to surf. I actually still find internet surfing for the most part aggravating since I often can't find the right in. That's why I have this site to bookmark cool little ramblings I find. I will just conclude with a wednesday Shout Out! I've been staying home and reading a lot since I have an awfully draining head cold. Probably dangerous to publish under these conditions but I feel like this is such an excellent unique opportunity when I've been able to just slow down and read on and off five different books intensively and sip tea and coffee in a cozy sweater without having to push myself to get too much done. Sometimes when I'm reading I often feel like I should get up and do more but today I know reading is just right for me. The pictures featured are me cherished my coffee and this extremely brain fogged fluish day & some in reverse colour appreciation of my zine.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODYQZT3BkZ3ujTAbiqdLbPUYlum9eLenMfr3qL3IWvzPYKgApxEp2bbSm97l43o_d5SK19JNjirm9iAzqjWWLVf4p77CrbaNOs-r_TZqFZfpXqI7mfrJ-qXBGnVx6FEg_Fp2Q7njAG6s/s200/Photo+715.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597699024642268706" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 104px; height: 200px; " /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div>Atlantic Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392416162203752926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686086452234031529.post-34510747811028433582011-04-12T08:26:00.000-07:002011-05-30T02:47:10.096-07:00A season change, dreams and muddy realities<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdOcRwFFXkvj-q_XumFVVWJbhvo1tm38ovfNPLvdwpM1b9iVcEDGcfMZuCREJp_GDqQjKrzSFaTTbL6AqOjxv-5N7sbmkwRtaWfGWqlFvz9VEESBkTUUDRBoN7OtO8XHHlf3GqkJUXwGQ/s1600/IMG_4170.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdOcRwFFXkvj-q_XumFVVWJbhvo1tm38ovfNPLvdwpM1b9iVcEDGcfMZuCREJp_GDqQjKrzSFaTTbL6AqOjxv-5N7sbmkwRtaWfGWqlFvz9VEESBkTUUDRBoN7OtO8XHHlf3GqkJUXwGQ/s200/IMG_4170.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594722287412129938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLhyaJmlzVN2MnQx5ULlZjJgN8ple3atAQlYdTgE8E3iHYSDi8vK9l6RNGx9Wo4D8Kt3VyBg8xlhPZf_s1L1xlg6_Lh7I3TG_jbVy9Jeq7keOkKcBRCSvVcL9L83Sda9ysTY1lc6Z34A/s1600/IMG_4174.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 112px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLhyaJmlzVN2MnQx5ULlZjJgN8ple3atAQlYdTgE8E3iHYSDi8vK9l6RNGx9Wo4D8Kt3VyBg8xlhPZf_s1L1xlg6_Lh7I3TG_jbVy9Jeq7keOkKcBRCSvVcL9L83Sda9ysTY1lc6Z34A/s200/IMG_4174.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594722001294351858" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWhmRQONjEbkkTFI-Ytci6jfoBdaTGjdL6V4qAxj4HNml2ySkGhzQJeT8lUAe7XFskZpYTIrXzOreXnNB-r-yhe4eKfvubxnuMrWGknkfQns2ZFWhRC4AY-gdciP3z07PefVsyX0jy4Y/s1600/IMG_4115_2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWhmRQONjEbkkTFI-Ytci6jfoBdaTGjdL6V4qAxj4HNml2ySkGhzQJeT8lUAe7XFskZpYTIrXzOreXnNB-r-yhe4eKfvubxnuMrWGknkfQns2ZFWhRC4AY-gdciP3z07PefVsyX0jy4Y/s200/IMG_4115_2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594721990944544818" border="0" /></a><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333300;">Been journeying around lately.

I am just trying to deal with our tiny heat wave here. Thank all things good that our lovely wind picked up today and knocked over many things in my yard... now we can enjoy that great natural wind phenomenon. <div><br /></div><div>My town is rarely hot and I know many people in cities are struggling too. I used my new skill of driving to head out to my favourite beach in the area. Its no secret and I seem to be arriving there at least once a week this summer. Dorchester cape is home to spectacular views, dusty roads and most of all cools you down. Most folks park <a href="http://www.bsc-eoc.org/iba/site.jsp?siteID=NB038">on the side of the road or at the interpretation center</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>The best thing about the summer is making the most of every little inch of paradise you can find. Looking out for my health I keep covered most times at the beach and then those 5-10 minutes when I rip off my long shirt & skirt and run around in a bathing suit feel super special and extravagant. </div><div><br /></div><div>A cool spring stream runs through this beach and my boys were really into walking it. Unfortunately I couldn't coordinate chess playing with the eldest. I'm going to have to start traveling with a card table for that purpose. Chess really gives me time to relax and think about other times and places. There are so many stories that could be woven into any game of chess, don't you think?</div><div><br /><div><br /></div></div>Atlantic Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392416162203752926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686086452234031529.post-11192930245869186302010-06-29T02:20:00.001-07:002010-06-29T02:45:02.907-07:00Summer has arrived<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXhitGrtoMeqU0gv9TRl0sV4LGcRs08ihqnDGr6xcjbBNiLVgp6XVdLpF9EVbUCenx_tn1VSgma0vvIq3QYelWUU0hY_fXxja2uxYPUXbRwJ24X8yFjqFUOftNVUwz4aOBwWwrRl9vf34/s1600/Sol2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXhitGrtoMeqU0gv9TRl0sV4LGcRs08ihqnDGr6xcjbBNiLVgp6XVdLpF9EVbUCenx_tn1VSgma0vvIq3QYelWUU0hY_fXxja2uxYPUXbRwJ24X8yFjqFUOftNVUwz4aOBwWwrRl9vf34/s320/Sol2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488128207233834210" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBx7HMa7ro-vyWB4vyox2a1lFtAo-Neclw-ccgj79EfuBP71vVWOLNRj3onM7ZgEjv8S5ky1iWtD9lf-Ra_BO7EUr_-DYyYHc6RFrlLVPm_w2_KNVnkhKSmdx6-Q5geb71u0O3xDmzqVs/s1600/Image365.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBx7HMa7ro-vyWB4vyox2a1lFtAo-Neclw-ccgj79EfuBP71vVWOLNRj3onM7ZgEjv8S5ky1iWtD9lf-Ra_BO7EUr_-DYyYHc6RFrlLVPm_w2_KNVnkhKSmdx6-Q5geb71u0O3xDmzqVs/s320/Image365.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488126122492251442" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRhjkXWCfMwMSHszNffKblElhAFjm_KbL_J8DjqOsWErh9w8iWEBHnMX9zpC5tcMyveGsq9xF6AXwtI1rPNeDt0lhFHRmXzXAAz8uWR5AZFf9qKp3PvgZFXirCBHXCB96ZLfuQqpWXKiw/s1600/Image361.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRhjkXWCfMwMSHszNffKblElhAFjm_KbL_J8DjqOsWErh9w8iWEBHnMX9zpC5tcMyveGsq9xF6AXwtI1rPNeDt0lhFHRmXzXAAz8uWR5AZFf9qKp3PvgZFXirCBHXCB96ZLfuQqpWXKiw/s320/Image361.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488125952142473794" /></a><br />If you explore this blog you may have noticed that I am an enthusiastic radio volunteer. This summer I am co-hosting the Friday local lunchtime news entitled Boardwalk Radio. We have done three shows so far and its really interesting trying to delve into contemporary issues in a dialectic sense. I have far too often tried to ignore important events happening around me and focus on my own health, perhaps out of necessity. Tune in online <a href="http://www.mta.ca/chma">11am-1pm Atlantic Time</a> .<div><br /></div><div>As you, my reader, would know the celebration of seasons and moon cycles is a part of my joyful spiritual life. This June has flown by with many impromptu arrivals at beaches and dusty overflowing dirt roads. Every back road I see is brimming with my favourite red clover, daisy and so many greens. </div><div><br /></div><div>This Solstice seemed turmultuous but satisfying. We attended an awesome family Summer Solstice potluck. My community also hosted special several events so driving a friend home from the party I could sense the communal satisfaction that our summertime is here and we are all super happy to be here together, and the horses and cows too. Around here people let their horses and cattle out to the marsh to pasture all summer and they all look like super groovy little communities.</div><div><br /></div><div>My second son celebrated his first birthday this month as well. What a momentous time, remembering my hugeness and the many other memories of near birth and just after birth time. The tide of memories seems so strong right now, its hard to stay grounded in the present and not drift in and out and past and future existences. The fog that surrounded the Tantramar from solstice eve until the day after around noon seems to have stuck with me. It was so special and beautiful at the time. This is definately an early morning meandering. I hope to have a few more succint tidbits to send out to you this summer. I dig stopping and snapping fuzzy cameraphone photos of events as they happen.</div>Atlantic Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392416162203752926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686086452234031529.post-83791346167555994012010-05-17T11:12:00.000-07:002010-06-03T06:42:47.410-07:00Blossom Moon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwl_F1ah97SasNdxgvppFdq5ov9zQfoIMzdZY2NQ4V0XRAp4dXpGGRb83wQkqz0wOd3Xy6KJvqpOjzd1mkaI1JRHRqgaamyEgUQi8wOUnjQAqZnsuOOUYXzuvOLnNb9G2-lt5xwHgoSsk/s1600/Bee.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwl_F1ah97SasNdxgvppFdq5ov9zQfoIMzdZY2NQ4V0XRAp4dXpGGRb83wQkqz0wOd3Xy6KJvqpOjzd1mkaI1JRHRqgaamyEgUQi8wOUnjQAqZnsuOOUYXzuvOLnNb9G2-lt5xwHgoSsk/s400/Bee.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478542369753853762" /></a><br /><br />Beeswax, the scent, the texture, little pieces dropping off. A constant pleasure in my life. I am extremely happy to have already had a few hours of staring off at the sky and blossoms around me, Bumblebees and hornets buzzing by. In April I was participating in a meditation on Air and really inhabited the beeness that was suggested. I loved the floaty feeling but also realized how crucial many of my little roles are in life. A bee is so important. I am not even bitter that I was recently stung by a hornet. Have a gooey & sweet Full May Blossom Moon. I certainly enjoyed my full moon celebrations this month and feel Mother Earth really blessed us, especially with the rain we received this week and many close conversations with friends.Atlantic Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392416162203752926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686086452234031529.post-65809208457658526572010-04-30T14:05:00.000-07:002010-04-30T14:14:52.582-07:00Fires<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Beltane, a chance to celebrate the union of the Lady & Lord.

Driving around in the pouring rain today was beautiful. I am trying to understand the way an engine works after many years of believing it was unnecessary. I don't think I will ever lose the yearning for the days of pilgrimages and spending a week to go on a trip to get a few supplies. I've succumbed to the fact that I would rather make a speedy journey to the closest big store(or beach) on my own than having to spend all my time on the planning of some one else taking me. I'm sure I will have more to say on our auto-society in a future blog-note. I am also sure my strong spirit of conservation will continue. Today I'll celebrate that my own little engine fire is started and well on its way to being an accomplished driver of a family.

Mama Bear said to her cub inside their warm little cave, "We have no reason to leave, we are cozy and the wind outside is howling, the snow is flying." The weather had been like this for days and days and they had seen no sun or fresh air. The little cub complained, "We have plans to go and see what our friends have put up in the museum, please Mama Bear can we put on our scarfs and explore." Since we had no school we bundled up with sleighs, water bottles, imaginations and colored pencils and headed out into the wind. Many battles and adventures ensured on our journey to and from our destination but the best part was our arrival at <a href="http://www.mta.ca/owens/exhibitions/index.php">the wonderful museum hall</a>. </p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">So many bright pictures to look at! Some of our ancestors Mary Pratt and Walter Tandy Murch shared with us paintings that made us wonder, giggle and ponder. The little cub made a book copying the works of Walter Tandy Murch and titled his works as follows: the Lightning Samurai, The Flight of Heaven, zaezo, The Town of Makers, Untitled. This little family of bears is so happy to have had the chance to catch "The Spirit of Things" exhibit and recommends it with two paws up. You and your family of artists should check it out before April 18th 2010 if you're close by. Pictured below: The Town of Makers by Bergen inspired by The Gravity Experiment by Walter Murch and The Lightning Samurai inspired by the same exhibit.</p><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB97VETAXGeOgPz3Jge9sFoH9-1NIUHarYNfwMe6oSTX5bMKCbjHlk56Db62Ytt4aCgcn30-2dBl11jJsvRRydt6M6MXvgOz1HYHbHV3L9n_h4bTFiM8SMMouVtjXObIN9tmGWjVTYVec/s320/Photo+450.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449957028689891970" /><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gLddsMVdghEs67HaM1sZo28YaCLZJZQ7-41jt2jiWRcg-Pwq0IygU9FhGET7eTC7fghpm6fu5-S8w29O8g5QifcEA0APeeTIh53ONNnHVeUXg9azr5waN4Jg04Mm8AyXJ-EdKrPbXS0/s320/Photo+444.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449957020448521010" />Atlantic Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392416162203752926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686086452234031529.post-48473192438748774462010-03-18T05:18:00.000-07:002010-03-20T10:00:58.727-07:00Rejoicing in Daylight Savings<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxXulsGtWJW1vmJJ-6BSLhYkJq7F97Qy0djkh2PQNhvtyOh1mYxITLJsOBlB2bs9BpOEu6_gCiwXTXji7yXf-anJxlCOeGLOfbniGC86M86MWX0MsAa7yf8sOMTZOpsT9bQVs7JKAlIQ/s1600-h/Photo+420.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpxXulsGtWJW1vmJJ-6BSLhYkJq7F97Qy0djkh2PQNhvtyOh1mYxITLJsOBlB2bs9BpOEu6_gCiwXTXji7yXf-anJxlCOeGLOfbniGC86M86MWX0MsAa7yf8sOMTZOpsT9bQVs7JKAlIQ/s320/Photo+420.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449947694829667730" /></a><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia, serif;color:#000099;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Time skipped ahead an hour and my mentality about waking up in the morning is so much better. Daylight savings time has allowed me to get into synch with my baby who has been waking up a few minutes prior to sunrise for several weeks. It is amazing to think that just a few numbers, the difference between 5:30 and 6:30 am, can change one's will to move so much. Sometimes it is easier to go with the flow and accept that the constructed way of seeing the day, which I have been taught and adhered to for so long, can help me reconnect with the movements of the earth in whatever small way. Whatever I needed, that extra surge and propulsion to wake up, I am extremely grateful to be at rhythm again with my more sky attuned babe.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div>Atlantic Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392416162203752926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-686086452234031529.post-30016101314473198682010-03-07T19:18:00.001-08:002010-03-07T19:47:25.281-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipRFrzEMmR68_wkkdcBhM3xZjFVY0cVSchP0QzHVlAg_-lUo7p4fOR2MFnaAgeP7Y8zwPZVLjnSCXIoQvY2GNcE7WEsKl57lHbDFM4Uei_W979ds165v45QFBSZoSRBUl9vSlfMBsXUGk/s1600-h/IMG_2944_2.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipRFrzEMmR68_wkkdcBhM3xZjFVY0cVSchP0QzHVlAg_-lUo7p4fOR2MFnaAgeP7Y8zwPZVLjnSCXIoQvY2GNcE7WEsKl57lHbDFM4Uei_W979ds165v45QFBSZoSRBUl9vSlfMBsXUGk/s200/IMG_2944_2.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5446102815056673186" /></a><br /><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial"><b>International Women's Day</b> March 8th, 2010</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">The 21st century has brought about quite an introspective Women's Day for me and my community. I always mark this festivity with an interest in activism that stems from feminist thought. Past years I have attended lectures, performed spoken word and listened to many inspiring pieces of music. This year I've been lucky to pick up a book which I bought five years ago and hid away for a future revelry. Mary Daly has always intruiged me partly because of the names others have given her: theologian, philosopher, radical feminist, academic. I have read many elaborations on language and excepts in Pure Lust and Gyn/ecology. This year she died and I realized that I needed to rediscover her classic text "Beyond God the Father." Brought up in the Evangelical Christian tradition, I knew this work would be an exciting adventure. Here is a taste of some of the principal thoughts I have enjoyed thus far in this beautifully illustrated text. <i>Beyond God the Father</i> includes Mary's careful consideration of other 20th century contemporary theologians. It is a slow and labourious read filled with pain and creativity. I will continue my journey throughout this week and really treat myself to some more of this landmark book:</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; min-height: 16.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">"It would be naive to think that the healing of the divided self can take place in one act. A truly healing insight involves a will to change that externalizes itself in continually unfolding action, so that the insight grows and action becomes more meaningful. ... </p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">in self-liberation women are performing the most effective action possible toward universal human liberation, making available to men the fullness of human being that is lost in sexual hierarchy.

Seen for what it is, the struggle for Justice opens the way to a situation in which more genuinely loving relationships are possible."</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; min-height: 16.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">Mary Daly, <span style="text-decoration: underline">Beyond God the Father</span>, Chapter Two: Exorcising Evil from Eve: The Fall into Freedom.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial; min-height: 16.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial"><a href="http://www.marydaly.net/">On her website</a> and in this book Mary asks us to remember activism.</p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial"> An excellent cooperative news source that I always return to for exciting and invigorating perspectives is a project driven by an amazing community: <a href="http://www.dominionpaper.ca/articles/3223">dominionpaper.ca</a></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Arial">It doesn't take much to realize that we cannot only consume media driven toward profit.
