Sad Day at All Souls

Hayden's Peace Circle...

I need to be in a circle of peace... today our congregation decided NOT to purchase the church that hosted Hannah's memorial service. We've been tossing the idea around for years now, it finally culminated in today's vote.
FUCK the democratic process!! We showed up, WE count, WE're the majority aaarrrggghhh!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already know... I'm still a UU even without a church home, I'm still a member of All Souls even when my needs are not addressed or met. I'm sad for my own reasons... I want to go back and BE in the space that was occupied by those who love Hannah so much, I don't want icky judgmental people in that space (and yet I'm being ickily judgmental by saying so!)... Faith, I guess that's what it is... deciding that I *will* have perspective and see that this sacred space was better occupied by another group...
Good news, Hannah's bench at Falls Park should be done by the end of August. I'm hoping to have some kind of service or ceremony down there with the church folk... It will be tough to schedule with the upcoming birthdays, conference and touring. Mayhap mid September...

The FIRE at Shelly's house, our communal pyre...  

My beeeuuuuuutiful palm! I only had to let this Henna set for about 3 hours! 

Did you know that a Lotus flower never dies?? I think as far as car marketing goes, I'd really rather drive a Lotus than a Nova!! 

Happy Mommy!  

First Friday without Mercury on the fritz!

and it's still sad...
It's 154 days without my daughter kind of sad...

It's crabby mommy who woke up every two hours just to crab at son about sleeping and now feels bad kind of sad...
It's gotta deal with stuff sooner because later doesn't afford the necessary time element, but I still don't wanna and I don't want anyone else to either kind of sad...
It's a "holy crap my horoscope is right!" kind of sad... {A sudden change in the emotional weather can upset you today, especially if you act impulsively at work. You are tempted to react strongly against any restrictions now, but your behavior can stir up more problems than the desired freedom is worth. Think about the consequences of your rebellion before it's too late.}

It's the "world, I just can't take no more!" kind of sad...
It's letting my tears nurture my soul, like rain to a field, kind of sad...

Apparently, I'm Ernie the Hellraiser!

“I’m not a troublemaker. I’m a hellraiser.
And there is a very large difference between the two.
Troublemakers grow up to become priests and politicians and social reformers.
They are always meddling in other people’s lives.
Hellraisers don’t meddle.
They rage and roar, and they celebrate life and they mourn its shortness.
Hellraisers destroy only themselves,
and they do it because they love life too much to fall asleep.”
~Will Ferguson, Happiness TM
