My heart recalls a woman's smile
     her eyes alight with warmth and care
a memory calls from across the isle
     to share a dance with maiden fair

The fire burns with welcome light
     her song a promise from the heart
his hand finds hers in common sight
     a kiss to share before they part

For lives untold they walk the land
     to find, to loose, to rediscover
both hearts bound by Goddess hand
     their spirits true to one another

with memory fading, this dream slips
you name a breath apon my lips

This journey has taken a life to achieve
     to discover what was thought beyond reach
If only illusion, I will not grieve
     My heart, my love, you have breached

The moon, my mistress, through uncounted years
     Her light soft and cool upon my cheek
Gave me comfort and strength to quell my fears
     As my unfullfilled soul grew weak 

To give her light, so that I may see,
     A final gift only she could do
To weave a form, unbound and free
     'Tis her light I find in you

If to dream you fade, by morning's light
'Tis a sleep I will welcome, come each night

so i found this book the other day.... The Mist-Filled Path by Frank MacEowen.

i was debating on buying another expensive (to me) gadget that i really didnt need, and

went to the book store to browse... i came across this book, and read part of the introduction.

it was if he was talking to me about what i was just going through~

i was amazed.  i had chills.  was i really drawn to this book so obviously?

i just started reading it on my breaks at work, and am very excited...

this weekend i got my first father's day gift...  a new tattoo.

i had it done saturday ( a little solstice present i guess?)

it combines my love of the old, of pagan style i guess you could say,

and my love of star wars :)

written in a nordic rune, it says

there is no emotion

there is peace

there is no ignorance

there is knowledge

there is no passion

there is serenity

there is no death

there is the force

well, my work week is done, and i'll be off of this pc all weekend.  So i'm wishing everyone here a good weekend and a joyful Solstice~  i know i'll be up for the dawn with my little one, so for once i won't miss the sunrise on this long day.

take care,

and blessed be~
