Wow, Stormy, your post brought back some great, and some not so great memories. CCR and Fleetwood Mac are two of my favorite bands; I've seen them each twice. They still rock after all those years!
The sixties was definitely one of the best decades of my life.

Fun Friday: The Art of Extreme Sleeping
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Feb 3, 2011 7:02 pm (PST)
The Art of Extreme Sleeping!
Sweet dreams are only part of the story
Like any extreme activity, it requires the nerves of steel, good choice of timing, location and the absence of suspicious cops. All this however is easier to achieve, because you are, well... asleep, so you can trust the unseen powers to take care of the rest. Long & restful sleep is by no means guaranteed, but perhaps somebody will take your picture and you'll wake up famous.
Location, Location, Location
The best site to explore (or to learn this useful skill) is Sleeping Chinese. It's a constantly growing collection of impossible sleeping positions:
(images credit: Sleeping Chinese)
Ignore the crowds
According to this site, Japan's Public Sleeping is a constantly evolving art:
(image credit: Jeff Tsai)
Schools are made for sleeping
Studying obviously leads to extreme mental and physical fatigue:
Learn from kids
Of course, children are "professional" sleepers:
Cats have no competition, though.

DESIRE
It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.
George Eliot
To be seeing the world made new every morning, as if it were the morning of the first day, and then to make the most of it for the individual soul, as if it were the last day--is the daily curriculum of the mind's desire.
John H. Finley

Elder's Meditation of the Day
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Feb 3, 2011 11:47 pm (PST)
Elder's Meditation of the Day
"The first factor in the revolution of consciousness is the mystic death of the ego - the death of negative thinking, negative personalities. We must purify the soul of the inner enemies. Every time a defect manifests - envy, gluttony, anger, lust, whatever - that impulse to the heart. Ask, `Do I really need to invoke this?' And then honor the heart."
-- Willaru Huayta, QUECHAU NATION, PERU
Our egos have character defects. These character defects we sometimes act out and they invariably bring results to our lives that we might not want. If we continue to use these character defects, we will continue to have undesirable results in our lives. How do we change ourselves or get rid of a character defects. We can go to the heart and ask a question, make a decision, then honor the heart. For example, say I get angry today. I would go to the heart and ask, would I rather be right or would I rather be happy? How we answer this question can have an enormous impact on how our day goes. Once we decide the answer to this question, we need to honor the heart by saying, "Thank you for the power of changing my thoughts. I choose to be happy and to experience peace of mind."
Great Spirit, today, let me teach only love and learn only love.

Super Bowl Humor

Super Bowl Humor
A man had 50 yard line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, a man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.
"No," he says, "The seat is empty."
"This is incredible," said the man. "Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it?"
He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Super bowl we haven't been to together since we got married in 1967."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else-a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?".
The man shakes his head.
"No, they're all at the funeral."

A Sacred Drum
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Thu Feb 3, 2011 11:51 pm (PST)
A Sacred Drum
A sacred drum stands. It is big and deep. The sacred sound surrounds.
It is the mantra of the earth speaking richness, masculine and feminine
energy as one deep tone.
We are one in this beauty.
Each touch of the drum takes us deeper into the center.
And the center is the curvature of space into the infinite dimension of the divine.
The drum is the curve and the center.
The many doors are one door. And the one door is the many.
The sound is the flood of the infinite.
The drum vibrates, resonates, sustains the deep tone.
An elk races in the wind, his heart song leaping from the great drum that he has given himself for and we acknowledge his spirit.
And we acknowledge the spirit of the cottonwood whose second life carries the heartbeat of the earth again. Who stood tall and strong, connected to the mother's heart that sustains us all, now pulses again with the sacred life.
And we flow in appreciation, entering the great circle the drum now fills.The stories flow from us into each other becoming the one story.
There is one sound, one consciousness.
Many voices, one consciousness.
By John MacEnulty

Parenthood

Parenthood
-- If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labor!
-- Shouting to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get about the same results.
-- The smartest advice on raising children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.
-- Avenge yourself -- live long enough to be a problem to your children.
-- The best way to keep kids at home is to give it a loving atmosphere ~~ and hide the keys to the car.
-- Parents: People who bare infants, bore teenagers, and board newlyweds.
-- The joy of motherhood: What a woman experiences when all the children are finally in bed.
-- Life's golden age is when the kids are too old to need babysitters and too young to borrow the family car.
-- Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
-- Grandparents are similar to a piece of string ~ handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.
-- There are three ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it.
-- Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents.
-- Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel the driveway during a snowstorm.
-- Oh, to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.
-- Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.
-- An alarm clock is a device for awakening people who don't have small children.

Rites for Super Sunday
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Fri Feb 4, 2011 12:00 am (PST)
Rites for Super Sunday
Sure, the Super Bowl's about football, but as with most holidays,
it's about so much more.
You've got the keg, the TV with a screen the size of a billboard,
and enough nachos to fill a silo. On the deck, the grill is gassed up, and
you've got 35 friends and family coming over. Did you remember to hang the sun
wheel made of grain on your front door and light candles in every room to
herald the rebirth of the Sun? If not, then you aren't really ready to
celebrate Super Bowl Sunday--our national midwinter Pagan festival.
Of course, the Super Bowl is not officially our midwinter Pagan
festival. But let's look at the facts: All our religious feast days are rooted
in Pagan celebrations. Take Christmas. Roman Pagans had celebrated the winter
solstice, the darkest day of the year, on Dec. 25 long before Jesus's time.
Pope Julius I, who declared it the day to commemorate the birth of Christ
in A.D. 350, knew conversion to Christianity would go more smoothly if it
didn't mess up the big solstice feast. Easter is Christianity's version of a
spring festival, inaugurated by second-century missionaries who combined their
observation of Christ's resurrection with the Pagan festival Me'an Earraigh,
which marked the beginning of spring. These Pagan traditions, it seems, will out.
It's no coincidence perhaps that the world's faiths provide plenty of
chances to burn candles. Just as Christians are decorating their houses and dragging
fir trees indoors, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah features a menorah
burning brightly. Even Muslims have begun celebrating late-year Eids by
stringing lights in the shape of crescents and stars.
That's fine for solstice, but sadly, we Americans lack a day that
corresponds to the Pagan rites that followed six or so weeks after
solstice, halfway to the Spring equinox. Groundhog Day, when Punxsutawney Phil bobs out of his hole to presage the end of winter, has been the closest tradition we
have. As our culture gets farther away from its former familiarity with the
groundhog's seasonal habits, the less we truly rely on Phil as a focus of our
midwinter hopes and fears.
The Pagans, of course, have an answer. On Feb. 2, while the rest of
us go through the motions of watching Phil, many Pagans celebrate the
feast of Imbolc. (Some Wiccan sects celebrate it as early as Jan. 29, while
others wait till Feb. 3.) Imbolc is the ancient holiday wherein one forgot winter's
doldrums and looked forward to spring and renewal. Irish druids considered
Imbolc the "festival of lactating sheep," because this was the time of year
when the local livestock had just given birth and were producing the milk of
life.
The Super Bowl is perfectly suited to be our national Imbolc, a
midwinter hurrah looking forward to Spring. It has this same tendency to turn
toward the sun--the game is always played in destinations we visit on winter
vacations--and anticipates the transition of the seasons--the end of
the NFL's winter run, with baseball's pitchers and catchers due at spring training a
spare few weeks later.
Super Sunday has also taken on other basic features of a proper
midwinter holiday. Imbolc, sources say, means "in the belly," a reference to
fecundity, and its other connotation is particularly apt on Super Sunday, the
day in which more food is consumed than on any other except Thanksgiving.
One can readily imagine Fat Bastard surveying a halftime-sized bucket of
guacamole and a mountain of Buffalo Wings and invoking Imbolc: "Get in my belly!"
Like Christmas, Super Bowl time is a balm for commercial interests.
Just as retailers make half their money at Yuletide, one lucky network makes
back some of the $300 million they claim they lost on televising the NFL
regular-season schedule.
The hitch here is that Imbolc includes--nay, revolves around--women.
You know: the 50 percent of the population that, apart from the eye-
candy waving pom-poms on the sidelines, generally (female sports fans, grant me
that 'generally') feels excluded on Super Sunday. Imbolc honors the
Celtic goddess Brighid, as well as all virgin and maiden goddesses. It's the
celebration of the Bride, the fertility of spring to come. According to Celtic lore,
Brighid's pet snake anticipated Punxsutawney Phil and slithered out from Mother
Earth to check on the weather. Traditionally, women led the Imbolc
celebration.
This need not be the end of the question, however. You women need
only grab the Bowl by the horns! Ladies, Super Sunday should be your day.
Indeed, Imbolc is full of rituals that will help Super Sunday achieve its
full potential as our national midwinter pagan festival.
Make NFL corn dollies.
Imbolc corn dollies honor Brighid, and they're the cutest little
figures made out of corn, oat, or wheat stalks. They're placed in baskets
atop beds of white flowers, and young girls distribute them door-to-door as
gifts. For the Super Bowl, stick your corn dollies in the uniform of your favorite
team. Meditate for your team. Praying to Jesus to bring your team to victory is so nineties. Instead, gather the rooting squad on the living room floor and lead a guided
visualization of burying apple seeds deep inside Mother Earth, stretching their
tendrils and preparing to burst forth with life. This may not make your team
the more fruitful one, but at least everyone will be balanced for the game,
willing to accept that, favorites aside, whichever team is best deserves to
take home the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Candles, candles, candles.
Brighid is the goddess of fire, healing, and poetry. Fill your home
with a bonfire of lit candles. But be sensible. Keep the candles away from
guests who get carried away with the hard stuff.
Serve seeds instead of chips.
Hold the Doritos, and surprise your guests with bowls of pumpkin,
sesame and sunflower seeds, an Imbolc mainstay. As they snack during the game
your friends will be continually reminded of the potential for new life
they hold in their hands, plus they'll be pleased they're enjoying a food rich
in protein and vitamins A, D, and E. Also, offer spiced wines, ales, and herbal
tea instead of beer, which will have no place at Super Bowl parties as
they become inexorably more Imbolc each year.
Chant over the chili cauldron.
Don't forget this Super Bowl favorite! Garnish with Imbolc
accents: evergreen boughs, spring flowers, and sun-shaped crackers. Every time
your team puts some points on the board, recite an Imbolc chant. Here's one I
found on the Internet, and modified slightly at the end:
Candle bright,
Burning Fire
Keep within you
Our Desire
Listen to
The Words we Speak
And Clear a Path
To What we Seek
Let our Wishes
All come True
As they Burn
This night with you.
Blessed be the [insert name of favorite team].
Blessed Be,
Lady Nightshayde
