  • WCFQ #2: The Beat

    WCFQ #2:
    What kind of drum
    do you march to,
    or do you?
    NanLou4

    Run or skip,
    bound or bounce…
    Drums are made to set the beat,
    but I prefer a bit more treble with my bass.
    Music is not made with drumming alone.
    It takes all kinds
    to make the melody sweet.
    Life isn’t orderly.
    It has its ups and downs.
    It swells and becomes somber by turns.
    No one marches to the beat
    of just one drum for long.





    June 30th


    Aestas, the ancient Roman corn-goddess of Summer is honored each year on this sacred day. Corn bread is traditionally served at Wiccan gatherings.



    This day is sacred to the Pagan and North American goddesses Ceres, Changing Woman, Chicomecoatl, the Corn Mothers, Demeter, Gaia, Ge, Hestia, Iatiku, Oraea, Pachamama, Spider Woman, and Tonantzin.

  • I love your comments on my site.  I’d like to think that multiple paths work; to each her own. Christianity is proving more and more to not be the path for me.
    Omniscient, omnipresent, omni-potent – I’d just like to fly.  The rest is a lot of responsibility, and I’d rather learn things one by one.  And there’s the whole thing about me not liking to impinge on the wills of others.  Omnipresent would be cool, but then there’s less capacity for change.  I dunno. 
    My drum?  Its beat is pretty irregular, all right. 

  • I like that you used a poem here.  Great idea.

  • The beat definitely varies in my corner of the world too.
