Ruth and Gabe have napped, like Grandpop and Granma.\u00a0 This means they have considerably more energy.\u00a0 Gabe covered a complete circuit of the patio to front door run, moving as fast as his stubby little legs and slightly forward leaning motor could take him.\u00a0 I was in hot pursuit.\u00a0 By hot I mean dew point that is absurd from a Minnesota perspective.\u00a0 Gabe did not seem deterred.<\/p>\n
Ruth and Grandma, in other news, had feathered boas and performed various short versions of 1920’s flapper era music.\u00a0 The show moved upstairs only a moment ago.<\/p>\n
Jon has the trailer attached to his car.\u00a0 It will travel to Colorado and not return except under unusual circumstances.\u00a0 He needs it for his remodeling and his fledgling custom ski business.\u00a0 It’s absence frees up space in the third garage bay.\u00a0 I know, I can’t believe we have three garage bays either.\u00a0 If you come to our house from the west, it looks like we are pets of three internal combustion driven machines who have the big home.<\/p>\n
Due to a spotlight event tomorrow and an America’s public tour immediately after, I’ve had to study while the grandkids are here.\u00a0 This morning I read the material on the butterfly maiden kachina and this afternoon I read about Tlingit culture and house screens.\u00a0 The Hopi faith tradition fascinated me as I learned more about it.\u00a0 They have a tradition of peaceful living, living that consciously seeks a balance with the natural world and all living things.\u00a0 The Tlingits have a similar perspective.<\/p>\n
In listening to a set of lectures titled Religions of the Axial Age, I’ve learned that it may have been Zoroaster who pushed Western culture away from a natural, earth centered faith and toward a pantheon, adherence and propitiation of which had a direct correlation to eternal life.\u00a0 Which was, at least according to this guy, also a Zoroastrian notion.\u00a0 By developing the notion of a messiah, an end-times judge, and, along with it, the idea of an apocalypse, Zoroaster stuck us with the linear understanding of time.<\/p>\n
(a tower of silence where zoroastrians exposed their dead to vultures and decay)<\/p>\n
Give me the kachinas who come back from their home in the San Francisco Peaks for a six month period beginning around the winter solstice ready to help out.\u00a0 Makes much more sense to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
