than twice in a calendar month blue moons?)

Not challenging just asking because I'm pretty astro-impaired. ;-)

BB re: And so did I till a couple days ago,

but I was visiting the Owls Nest and Tamar was quite excited by the
coming New Moon and explained this to me, and exactly to the point about
most people think it's two moons in a Calandar month, but Astrologically
its two moons in a sign, which would make it more rare because it would
almost have to fall at 29' So even less oppertunity for the full moon to
occur.

While Im reasonably conversant Astrologically, Im no expert, but Tamar's
Mother Nita is a very good astrologer, and having learned from her Mum,
Tamar is rather good herself ... so in matters of Astrology I defer to
them without a 2nd thought. Blessings, BB.

Thanks for the explanation. I've had an awful week.one of my cats was
killed by my neighbors dog last Sunday night, and another has been missing
since then. There is a part of me that hopes the missing one saw what
happened and is out there somewhere, too scared to come home. But that part
of me is getting smaller with each passing day and still no sign of her. I
feel like my heart is breaking in a thousand ways, such a special occasion
like this to direct towards healing is very welcome and much needed.

LOL.I totally got it the first time, didn't even notice your mistake until
you clarified. So if you were bird-headed, I was on the same
feather-brained page with you. :-)

BB re: A couple years ago there is this show on Animal Planet, a woman
moves and her cat is lost in the move, she misses it and put its picture
up in her cubicle and looks at him every day, after several months, he
shows up at her new job! I believe it was in another state.

Ok so my Friends Cat goes missing,

I buy her a Candle, and a charm, but I cant remember the Charm, and Told
her this story. I said to take a picture of the cat, put it on her
alter, and burn the candle a few minutes a day, while mediating on the
image, and calling (Energetically) for the cat to come home, he was home
in two weeks.

Obviously a thing like this can't be guarenteed, but these are true
stories, I think most things know when we are looking at them, that
sense of being stared at, I believe cats are particularly sensitive for
what ever reason, anyhow, I believe you can light a lamp for your
compainion to fallow home, thats the purpose of the candle. Take a small
Pilar, dedicate it to the purpose and sit with it for a few minutes a
day. I would not let it burn more than an hour per day.

I hope this helps, and do let us know when your friend has found her way
home.

Brightest Blessings, BB.

Thank you, I will try this. I've been "sending" for her since Monday night,
and also telling the other two cats to tell her to come home because I miss
her and am worried.

2.: A Bit of Fan Fiction.

Posted by: "Blackbird" blackbird_61@yahoo.com blackbird_61

Thu Oct 21, 2010 9:50 am (PDT)

Just saw the Book of Eli for the First time, Excellent film.

At the Risk of seeming self indulgent, I was inspired to a bit of Fan
Fiction, not that uncommon for me to think about how I might change a
film, or add or delete a scene or two, but normally I dont bother to
write it down, but for what it's worth, I wanted to write this, BB.

_________________________________________

In the ruins of an abandoned farm house, in a desert that used to be
farmland, on a night no different than any other two tired wanderers in
the desert meet, they are older men, each has seen and done too much
killing, so they watchfully share the only shelter around, as their
small fire fades on the stove, one has a great crow tattooed to his face
a wing down one arm, we'll call him bird, he looks up to see the other
guardedly hunched over a book.

Bird: You Reading?

Eli: Yea ...

Bird: You read a lot ...

Eli: Every Day,

Bird: Must be a good Book.

Eli: Yea, It's a Good book.

Bird: Trade yea,

Eli: Books not For Trade'n

Bird: Must be a Real Good Book.

Eli: it is ...

Bird: A real 'Good Book?'

Eli: It's a Good Book.

Bird:
"In the Beginning was the Word,
and the Word was God,
and the Word was With God."
That good?

Eli: That Good.

Bird: Yea that books not for trade'n.

Eli: What about you, You a man of God?

Bird: No, I am a Man of Gods ...
but I respect what you are ...
Your a Man, You've found your Intent,
you honor that intent,
that's all any man can ask.

Eli: and you?

Bird Reaches for his pack: We need a little more light.

Eli Nods, Watches Bird pull out a couple pieces of wood from the faggot
he carries tied under his pack, put them in the stove, then he pulls a
plastic bag outta the pack, in the bag is a pack of cards ...

Bird: You trusted me with somethin' I'll trust you with somethin'
but if it offends, being a man of God an all,
I'll just put it away like it never happened ok.

Eli: Sure,

Bird: Pulls out the deck of cards,
Lays out 3 Rows of 7, each as a picture on it,
at the top in the center he lays out one last card,
The picture is a man, Playing a flute,
He's about to step off a cliff.

Bird: You read every day, I read every day.

Eli Nods: What they say ...

Bird: This morning they said I'ld meet a man of God,
but I didn't believe ...

Eli: So they don't always tell the truth.

Bird: No, they always tell the truth,
but I don't always see the truth, till later,
but the truth is always there.

Eli: They say the Devil can quote Scripture for his own purposes.

Bird: and they were right.

Eli Softly, no anger: They said the cards come from the Devil.

Bird: Cards say, a man's relationship with God is his and his alone.
The Church says the cards come from the Devil, because the church
And the church alone knows the way to God.

Bird makes a gesture, indicating the ruin all around, then says:
Church is Gone, The cards are still here.
You tell me, who was judged, who was found wanting.

Eli: not for me to Judge.

Bird Nods: Look we're both tired, I'm going to sleep for a few hours,
You can sleep or not as you like, after, if you watch over me, I'll
watch over you.

Eli: That's a lot of trust.

Bird: We've both done ... terrible things, wouldn't live to be here
otherwise,
but a man of God's not going to murder a man in his sleep, so I'll trust
you.

Eli: and you ...?

Bird: That's your choice, can't make if for you.

Dawn comes, Bird rises shuffles his cards, lays out Three goes to put
them away, ...

Eli: What the cards say?

Bird: About you?

Eli: yea.

Bird: Didn't Ask.

Bird shuffles the cards, pulls three ... looks at them for a long
moment:
You won't have to kill today.

Eli: then it will be a good day.

They leave starting off in different Directions,
Eli pauses a moment cocks he head, calls out: "Hey Bird."

Bird: Yea,

Eli: You didn't ask to come with me, most folks do.

Bird: and you say no.

Eli: Yes I do ...

Bird: You gotta go West, your intent Lies there, I'm headed another way.
Head NorthWest one day, then turn West, be less trouble for yea.

Eli: The Cards Tell you that?

Bird: No, just came that way, but it's still true.

Eli: Been Good to know yea.

Bird: You too, ...

Two men met in the desert, each served God in his own way,
each followed a different path,
each called God by another name,
each went their separate ways.
Each did as he was intended, and this was good.
