It is amazing how folks bitched and moaned about Dubya and his policies, yet praised and cheered Obama when he carried out the exact same policies. Wilco Tango Foxtrot. Willful ignorance methinks.

Even the mundane tasks in life can be executed with a zeal of completeness that is hard to grasp unless viewed through the lense of ones last act. Burn the fire completely in everything you do, even the mundane.

The dark time on the Solstice is the time to dwell into our inner-being. The red and white which dominates the Yule time is a reflection of Amanita Muscaria... a tool to help with such inward ventures... Again, Good Yule, may the New Year bring peace and contentment.

The human anatomy is an awesome thing. Celebrate it, enjoy it, it is our temple. It is our vehicle. Kathryn is an awesome yogini and the pictures are wonderful. The other YJ picture mentioned is not as well done as the Toesox picts, but there is not anything overtly sexual about it. Again, the human form is beautiful...

Anything less is disrespectful! (tongue-in-cheek) Why are folks so afraid of a woman&#039;s power in her sexuality? Use it, use it wisely. It is a commodity and should be &quot;spent&quot; with care; but it is inherently powerful. This fact precedes the use of &quot;sex&quot; as an advertising scheme. It is why woman have been oppressed for the past few millennium. Women have the power and it is time they begin to use it.
