Filtered: And That Heaven is Overrated
It's time to share a song, a story, and perhaps an idea. It's been a long time since I really wrote anything stream of consciousness, and that tends to be when my best posts come through. Trying to relate them vocally always seems to fail; people's eyes glaze over and ...

Success on Your Own Terms
I've been emailing back and forth with Tonya Kay (see thumbnail), a new writer in Rending the Veil's increasingly impressive roster of contributors. She is a uniquely special individual, and I thought I'd share some of her enthusiasm with you, along with some links. I'm not really familiar with her ...

The Nature of the Egregore
I've decided to start republishing my articles here so I have a copy in my own blog. Also, so maybe they'll actually be read. This article was originally published in Rending the Veil in December 2006. Michael Jackson was alive and well. There is no disrespect intended with use of his ...

English Language FAIL
I've been combing the thesaurus and the dictionary for a synonym for "experience" (verb form). Did you know that, unless you have a very specific experience in mind (e.g. "feel" or "imagine" or "meet," et al), there isn't a good substitute? I need an adjective adverb form of "experience," ending ...

Filtered: Lions and Tigers and Transits, Oh My
A look at my long-term transits on Astrodienst a bit ago was interesting. First transit nailed my new and unusual routine of the last few months. That transit is nearly past, so it's sort of like a confirmation rather than a look ahead. I haven't even read the others yet, ...

Things Are Definitely Moving
You know how it goes when you're trying to, for example, clean out a closet or garage or other area that's very disorganized – you make a much bigger mess before you actually create anything like order from the chaos. Yeah. That's my life for the last two months, and ...
