Prison Wicca
The practice of the Wiccan Religion in prisons today
by: Sean M, Curtis, Wiccan and in prison in North Carolina
Being Wiccan in prison today is a lot easier than it used to be. Today, Wiccans can openly practice their religion as opposed to just
Have You Forgotten?
Have you forgotten the taste of sweet
mountain water,
The cool bite of a crisp, clean
morning,
And the song of the birds in each
little tree?
Have you forgotten the sight of the
silver moon rise,
The hushed wings of the owl on

A once proud nation, brought to it's knees by religious zealots, hangs it's head in shame. The founding principles have been shattered, scorned and discarded, like yesterday's garbage. Hope, the bright star of the future, all but extinguished by profit mongering, greed encouraging people. And thi… Read full post »
I Am For Peace
I am for peace.
Not the peace that is an extension of war by political means. Real peace. The peace the comes when people everywhere say no to war.
I am for peace.
I am for the kind of peace that can happen when patriots everywhere lay
TV Night
It's movie night at the household,
And the shows he likes make my brain go cold.
It's movie night and I want to scream.
No, I'm not worried about the occasional bad dream.
He watches the cop shows like they are real.
He watches some movies that me me reel.
I Am A Witch
I am a witch, and I say that proudly.
I am a witch, I hold all life sacred.
I am a witch, and the Earth is my mother.
I am a witch. My lord is the Lord of the Dance.
I believe that each and every one of
The Car Saga, Part the Second
The car is still in the shop. In theory, we should have it back next week. With the car still in the shop, obviously, the vacation became completely cancelled. I do, however, have pictures of the engine and the tiny little washer that caused the trouble.

The Never Ending Saga of Shoddy Car Maintenance by "Professi
Fury. Pure, unbridled fury is what I am feeling right now.
At the beginning of May, we took our perfectly functioning 2004 Kia
Amanti to East Side Motor, in Richlands, North Carolina, where we
live, for routine maintenance. The car is now ruined, and may never
run again, due… Read full post »
Rude Posts
There is nothing quite as disappointing as finding out that a comment on your post is nothing more than some rude person spamming their wares. Oh, this is aggravating. Now, I may not know how to remove people who comment with a spam advertisement, but I do know that if I… Read full post »
Countdown Halted
I feel like Mission Control with a bad launch time. Or more precisely, with a bad launch vehicle, as the time was fine until problems rose with the vehicle.
The Kia is in the shop. This is not a good thing. Early in the month, Don had taken the Kia to… Read full post »
Countdown to Vacation
Six days until departure. The anticipation is building. We haven't packed anything, yet. Too early to do that. We have made the reservation for our first night on the road. KOA. Much less expensive and more relaxing than a hotel.
Preparation: Pick out a digital camera that I want to… Read full post »
What He Lost
He's thinking about what he lost
The day he made the worst decision of his life.
The friends who tuned away in disgust
The family that he hurt.
He's thinking about what could have been
And feeling something new. Remorse.
The people who would have stood by him
All turned and… Read full post »
My Second Visit With Sean
"What Can I Do?"
What Can I Do?
"What can I do:" the young girl asked, as she lit a candle for
equality.
"What can I do?" the mother asked, as she lit a candle for
hope.
"What can I do?" the grandmother asked, as she lit a candle for
humanity.
"What can I do?"

On Being a Mother-in-Law
I am a mother-in-law. I have wonderful relationships with all of my daughters-in-law, but that is because I have strived very hard to have that kind of relationship with them. I am also the mother of a soldier, stationed far from where I live. My daughter-in-love, as I prefer to call… Read full post »
The Joy of Parenting
The other day, I posted a video of a tour of the FOB that my son, David was serving at during this deployment. He is no longer at FOB Grizzly. He's in Germany, in the hospital. I am glad that he's going to be okay.
There are many… Read full post »

Daddy Doesn't Talk Much Any More
Daddy doesn't talk much,
He sits in his room.
Daddy doesn't talk much,
He keeps the curtains closed.
Daddy doesn't talk much
Since he came home.
He sits all alone
He never hugs me.
Daddy went to war
To defend you and me,
And now
Daddy doesn't talk to us… Read full post »

The Day After Thanksgiving
Twas the day after Thanksgiving and boredom reigned supreme. Not
a movie on cable, nor a show that wasn't repeats could sway the
path of the Boredom Train. It barreled through the house,
disturbing the peace of the place and steamed into the station
known as My Mind.
The Boredom Train attacks… Read full post »
T'was the Night Before Christmas ala Panama
I didn't write this. I haven't a clue who did write it, but I've loved it for years.
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through
the casa,
Not a creature was stirring. ¡Caramba! ¿Que pasa?
The stockings are hanging con mucho cuidado
In hopes that St. Nick will fee… Read full post »

2. Climb a palm tree and hack loose a seed spray. Knock all the old
seeds off it.
3. Nail it to the 2x4 and spray paint everything white.
4. Sprinkle the entire palm seed spray… Read full post »
My Military Service
With Veterans Day just one sunrise away, I find myself looking back on my service. When I was nineteen, I joined the Air Force. Vietnam was not going well, Vietnam veterans were not fondly looked upon, as though the war were their fault. Yet, I joined the military. I did it… Read full post »
Saying Good bye
This time of year always sends me into a very contemplative mood. The arrival of Thanksgiving doesn't herald the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. It heralds the anniversay of my eldest son's passing.
Alan was 14 years old, a very vital, active, funny, happy boy without a care in… Read full post »
