Skip's Home Studio.

I have been spending too much time at 'Skip Ennis' on Facebook and I have realised how much more comfortable and cool it is here. I missed my Opera Community.

Vibes of Love and Peace going out to all.

To maintain a healthy level of insanity:

Insanity


1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars.
See If They Slow Down.

2. On all your cheque stubs, write ' For Marijuana'

3. Skip down the street rather than walk and see how many looks you get.

4. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.

5 Sing Along At The Opera.

6. When The Money Comes Out The ATM, Scream 'I Won! I Won!'

7. When Leaving the Zoo, start running towards the car park, yelling 'Run For Your Lives! They're Loose!'

8. Tell Your Children Over Dinner, 'Due To The Economy, we are going To have to let one of you go.'

And The Final Way To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity


9. Pick up a box of c*ndoms at the pharmacy, go to the counter and ask where the fitting room is.


It's called therapy.

During the past ten years carbon emissions have not been lowered and there has been no change in the destruction of our Earth. Nature has it's own ways of righting wrongs.

One must seek the inside without being distracted by the outside.

A Warrior knows that the worst thing to do is to confront people bluntly; a Warrior proceeds strategically.
He needs to use his power, he needs to be a shaman; that is why Warriors are spirit travellers, they have the power.

A Warrior can be a man of knowledge because he is an impeccable hunter who hunts power. When he succeeds in his hunting he is a man of knowledge.

The nature of a Diné Warrior’s act is unimportant here as long as he acts as a Warrior. To seek the perfection of the Warrior’s spirit is the only task worthy of our manhood.

If a spirit is distorted; a Warrior fixes it, purges it and makes it perfect, - because there is no task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile. Not to fix the spirit is to seek death and that is the same as to seek nothing. A Diné Warrior fixes the spirit to give it power.

A Warrior makes his own mood and can spur himself beyond limits if in the proper mood. Many things are used to get in the mood. It is convenient to always act in the Warrior mood; because it cuts through the crap and leaves him purified.

A Diné Warrior has both control and abandon. He is a hunter and he calculates everything. That is control. But once his calculations are over, he acts. That is abandon.

A Diné Warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the winds. No one can push him, to make him do things against himself or his better judgement.
A Warrior is tuned to survive and he survives in the best possible fashion. The hunter of power watches everything and everything tells him some secret. A Warrior is guided by his unbending purpose and can fend off anything.

In order to use his power a Warrior must live with power. A Warrior gives everything for great power battles. There are worlds within worlds right here in front of us. They are as real as the one we are in right now. They can not be ignored. If one does not have the power, death is always waiting.
To seek nothing is the same as seeking death. So to venture into an unknown future without power is stupid; one will only find death.

We pagans have celebrated the Winter Solstice since our earliest of days. Stonehenge and other such sites were built for the purpose of recording the exact day of the solstice. Winter is when most deaths occurred, either through natural causes or because of starvation. Some of the livestock was killed so that they did not have to be fed through the Winter and, as we only had very limited means of preserving the meat, we had to have a feast. The Christians 'stole' this feasting as 'Christmas'. We even decorated the bare trees and that has been 'stolen' too.

Anyway, this years Solstice Celebration is the night of December 21st to the dawn of December 22nd.


Blessed be to all.

Ever since I got this vertigo I have been unable to meditate as I usually have because the feeling of instability is extremely distracting. However, I notice that once I can lose myself in my easel the instability goes and so I can meditate again, as long as I am working at my easel. I seem to do it automatically now, my mind is cleared of distractions and my spirit takes over. Thank goodness for the respite.

Time is rushing by, almost without it even being noticed. 'The clock is ticking'. One must use time to find adventures, that lead to experiences, from various perspectives. Instead people are just doing the same things day in and day out. Experience a flower, as an example. Why is it there? What brought it there? See how it is made and what it's functions are. What does it need to fulfill those functions? Nature has the beauty, education, and power of life and death. Only nature has all of the answers. As 'the world' implodes under it's own avarice, nature grows and blossoms more each day.

I am sending out big love and vibes for peace to you all. Blessed be.

I watched the opeming ceremony, today, to the Commonwealth Games in India. Despite the recent troubles they have had with getting the stadium, etc., finished on time the ceremony was really great (Oh, those drums!). It was very enjoyable.

My very great friend, Sam, passed away in peace this morning. He was a good 'little man' who gave out a lot of pleasure. We will all miss him, but he is at peace now and free of his illness. It happens to every living being and so we all must embrace this life while we can.

Big love and peace to all.
