A few quotes

I've been nonexistent again, I know. It's the mental fog. I think that it's finally starting to lift, though, and for that I am very thankful.

But for now, I just wanted to post a few quotes that I don't want to lose:

"If the road to knowledge leads us away, it will also bring us back home. And that is invaluable." --Finn

"Tem asked me what I though the flame of the candle on my altar was doing. I responded that it was burning away the candle. No, he said, it is burning to burn. The candle is but the flame’s lifespan. Creation, likewise, exists to create, to be. Time is but the candle of creation’s flame. Creation itself is the purpose, creation is sacred. You create. You further creation. You are valued by us for you contribute to the community of creation." --Lykaios

And, of course, I had more and I can't find them. *sigh*

Oh! I've joined Covenspace; you can find me here. We'll see if it ends up being any more useful (or used) than my Witchvox listing. I think probably not, but it's worth a shot.

Mental fog.

I appear to have hit a bit of a block, lately. Every time my mind settles down to think about anything spiritual for longer than five minutes, my brain goes and dribbles out my ears. I'm not sure why.

I've tried to remedy it with a bit of meditation, but as usual, my attention span is too short. I can quietly meditate for about five minutes- if I do moving meditation, about 10- but then my monkey-mind gets hopping and it never settles back down. I'm too prone to daydreaming, anyway. I'm not sure what else to do except leave it alone for a little bit.

It's infuriating, too, because there's a number of interesting conversations at two forums I frequent (TC & OC), and I hate having a thought and watch it slip between my fingers.

Sigh.
