"By psychologizing the gods, we have contributed to the ongoing disenchantment of the world, which began with the Enlightenment. We have humanized the gods, but in doing so, we have sometimes lost the sense of the gods as gods." from The Archetypes are Gods: Re-godding the Archetypes I happened upon this article by accident today, … Continue reading Psychologizing the Gods
Getting Started!
The masters is finished and I can have my life back - I cannot express how delighted I am. Somehow the last two years feels more like two decades. So I'm starting with an in-depth study of Isidora Forrest's new edition of Isis Magic. Over the next three weeks I'll be reading the first nine … Continue reading Getting Started!
TK: Fresh Corn & Herb Pasta Salad
This recipe was fantastic - incredibly flavorful and likely to get more so as the season progresses and stuff is fresh. I'd love to have all the ingredients from the farmer's market. My meat-eating family loved it as well - and it was super easy to make. Thug Kitchen FTW!
anniversaries of birth
20 years ago today I was finally being admitted to Enloe Hospital after being in labor for 3 days. Those three sleepless days included a crazy walking tour of downtown Chico, being sent home from the hospital after my water broke and many hours of video game playing by the males involved. Finally, though, I … Continue reading anniversaries of birth
actually, i can
So this is my new mantra. It applies to my running, it applies to my masters (soooo very close to done), it applies to coming to Oregon, so many things. Tonight I was able to get started again. Slow for me, but still, a good 5K. And I'm back.
Things I Want to Remember: Portland RnR Half Marathon 2013
Intense pleasure at the forecast for cool, cloudy, and possibly rainy weather. The truly awesome expo, and being there with the person who inspired me to start this beautiful madness. The Max, packed with other marathoners, and feeling pride in the way Trimet assisted racers. Our first approach to the waterfront, and being amongst the … Continue reading Things I Want to Remember: Portland RnR Half Marathon 2013
Things I Want to Remember: Cinco de Mayo 10K 2013
The surprise of nerves, worry about being last. I only had three safety pins, so one corner of my bib flapped in the breeze. The police officer at the almost halfway point who said, "You're doing great, keeping a good pace!" Looking back and realizing I was far from being last. The two women ahead … Continue reading Things I Want to Remember: Cinco de Mayo 10K 2013
So Much to Say
It's been almost two weeks since I last posted, and it feels like two months. Boston. That happened. And I wanted to write about it, but I ran instead. I found Tualatin Hills Nature Park and fell in love with the trails. I wogged there two weekends in a row and will likely make this … Continue reading So Much to Say
Anniversaries Are Neutral
After doing a triumphant morning run on Monday, I was caught unaware yesterday by the two year anniversary of my dad's sudden death. It's not that I didn't realize April 9th was coming. It was more that I was busy enough that I kept it out of my mind. My body remembered though. When I … Continue reading Anniversaries Are Neutral
Dear Media…
There is not enough love in the world for this blog post. If I could make this a t-shirt, I would: "Healthy eating and exercise to live long and have a powerful body actually have nothing to do with appearance. They may, coincidentally, have an effect on my appearance, such as weight loss or gaining … Continue reading Dear Media…
