Its May Day the May Pole Day for all the Pagans...
I'm still hiding out in my studio making some really groovy beads that I know I'll have this week...I just wanna make more, 'explore the space' as it were...I have ideas, and not enough time to get them all done...so I'm gonna keep working till I'm happy...
I don't know much about May Day and the May Pole, but I found some neat links on Google...who knew it was yet another cool Pagan holiday? Those pagans know how to rock the casbah, indeed...I'm pretty ignorant about religion, my friend Katie is my go-to person on 'all things religious'...I do like the who 'mother earth' and tree hugger vibe of the pagans...
(the whole goth-kid thing w/ the dark eyeliner and looking like Marilyn Manson isn't really my thing, but then I don't think those folks are really pagans, are they??)...I like the idea of balance in the earth, of giving back and making this a healthy place to live, of respecting our water and trees and bugs...i don't kill bugs, in fact, there is a pretty little spider who keeps making webs in my car, and I feel terrible when I destroy the web getting into the car...so much so that the other day, I went to the passenger side to get in and pull the roof up before it rained..I just couldn't bear to destroy her web again, so I let her live in peace while I put the roof up...I'd prefer to remove her, tho, cause she isn't gonna catch any bugs in my sealed car...she needs to be in the plants and catch the bad guys for me...I dunno, is that more Buddhist if you don't believe in killing bugs? Whatever it is, I enjoy nature and see all bugs and creatures as part of the entire cycle...otherwise, I'd be overrun with aphids and grubworms...blech...
