Post No. 438 - A late Lammas

Well, officially Lammas was a few weeks ago: the reality here at our home is that, because I planted later last year than I should, we've only just started getting our first annual harvest from our garden (a couple of cobs of smaller than normal corn - I find corn one of the easiest crops to grow .. but here in the city, doing it as a hobby, I have a few advantages that farmers don't necessarily have - such as access to plenty of water). When I get the time, I have some mint and an olive tree that we bought recently to re-pot, but time has been at a premium, of late, and still will be today and until next weekend ...

Here's a few reading links for your consideration:

• "Why I eat Meat", by Drew Jacob at the "Rogue Priest" blog; 
• "The Practice of Prayer", by T. Thorn Coyle.

PS - if you don't understand why I am writing about Lammas now, you need to read up on the Southern Hemisphere [2] and broaden your perspective on life and understanding of reality.

PS - our bulbs, mint and rosemary are in flower, and we have 7 sunflowers greeting us and the sun each day ... the sycamores I'm growing in pots (mostly as presents) from seeds I harvested are doing well: it's a good time in our garden just now.

My "blogiography" is here.  

I started this blog to cover karmic regression-rescue (see here and here), and it grew ...  

• May the world of commerce and business be recognised to be a servant, not a master, of the lives of people.
• Like fire to the physical, emotions to the soul make a good servant, and a bad master. 
• Armageddon is alive and well and happening right now: it is a battle between the indolence of "I only ..." and/or "I just ..." and what Bruce Schneier [2] calls "security theatre" on one side, and perspicacity and the understanding that the means shape the end on the other.
• Spiritual love is far more than just an emotion - it is a concept, thoughts, actions and a way of living.

True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
