Weekend memories

WOW....I had a great weekend. Lots of drumming, dancing, laughing and eating.....thank God I exercise. Just got home from a drumming circle. Boy, do those guys ever play FAST but I managed to keep up. It was incredible. Going to drum with my drummer friend on Wednesday night so it will be fun to see if he notices if I have improved since the last time we drummed together.

Last night a friend and I went into the woods with drums, crystals, candles, incense and did a ritual ala US. We might even invite some other Goddesses along next time. It was such an amazing night last with the Full Moon and the Lunar Eclipse not that we could see the eclipse from Vancouver but the energies were pretty powerful. At one point however, I sat there and just sat immersed in the energy that we had conjured up and while I might have been right in the middle of it all, there was still a part of me that felt like SHE was just observing all that was going on.

That happens to me a lot. Sitting in the midst of something and still feeling apart from it. There was a time at the end of our time there when we put on some music and one of the songs made me stop and really listen.

There were the words.....

I'm a Soul without a mind. I'm a body without a heart. I'm missing every part.....

Part of me related to it even though at first I was thinking of other people and how those related words to them. That feeling like I am not connected to me at times persists. Sure would be nice to always feel connected to me.

At one point we picked a card from my friend's deck of cards and the Goddess that I picked was there to help me relate to, not only sense of my place within the world but my place within me and how I related to the earth and my place on it. I'll be working with that in the days to come.

I also got to share dinner with my kids and THAT was another wonderful part of it all.

We are all so very blessed.

May your week unfold in divine splendour.
