I just have to say I am so appreciating the diversity of reading -- and the diversity of readers -- here. Reminds me how much I haven't read. Intrigues me to want to branch out and read more (where would the time come from) and refreshes me -- as I read through all of the posts here.
Thanks to everyone here. _Montague Whitsel

As we're on our way to Saint Patrick's Day next Monday and then the Vernal Equinox, here is a story about the Pookah that I wrote and posted last year. A strange encounter sparks a wakening of the imagination for three of Edward's drumming students as they walk up toward Norwest Farm and Edward's band's studio.

A ramble of a poem wherein Patrick and the Faeryfolk dance together in the Otherworld -- over the sidhe and not so far away -- where animosities inherited and fostered in this world fall away and we see that we are all part of the tapestry of life. Could we be so open to others in this world; someday--hopefully we may and many already are.

A gateway portends a walk, a journey or even transcendence. This gate in a snowy world really intimate all these things to me, and more. Thanks

With Epiphany coming (next Monday) and am leaving the Season of Yule and entering into the transition_ beyond Faerie. I long to be walking in the night, in solitude, in wood or field. How about you?
