Our goal should be to live life in radical amazement. ....get up in the morning and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.

🤣 I am kinda doing this, although if 'certain parties' knew, they would not appreciate being called goblins! 😂😂😂
Celebrate your holidays like the old ones would.
Hide inside your mossy haunted cottage in the forest, delve for secrets in arcane books, and blame goblins for your problems.

Today’s unpopular opinion: Buying an ugly Christmas sweater that was deliberately made ugly misses the point. A true ugly Christmas sweater is one someone bought in good faith and gave to you and expects you to wear on the day. Bless their heart.

SO good, and an important reminder, if one cares to Listen. Might explain the hollowness - instead of Holiness - many feel during this time of year.

Love the shadows and lines and simple joy of this. The angles of the perspective. Beautiful!

Not all super powers are noble and strong. Some are downright weird. So harness your dark freaky weirdness and do some good if you can.

Looks like I’ve found a new hobby –
visiting local markets and discovering little treasures.

Even if my posts help Ukrainian artisans just a tiny bit, I’m happy.
They deserve to be seen.
Just look at these cuties I saw today.

"This time of year...not all darkness is bad. Some darkness incubates, nurtures, or provides rest.
...helps us better see the soft grey illumination of winter’s dawn.
In these times, let us be light for one another.
In these times, let us offer respite and warmth."

Seasonal grumpiness has arrived. I shall alleviate it by avoiding humans pretending their obligatory franticness and heavy spending will lead to a couple of hours of obtuse bliss that will free them from the angst that haunts them. I don't mean to be cruel; it's just #exhausting witnessing it.
#Joy!

People have been marking winter solstice for a very long time. Some 7,000 years ago, the people who built Goseck in Germany aligned the site's entrances to face sunrise and sunset at this darkest time of year. An ancient honouring of the return of the light. (Pic © LDA Sachsen-Anhalt, Gert Pie)

I just binged "Intimacy" on Netflix. It's a limited series from Spain and turned out to be unexpectedly brilliant, timely, poignant. It is painful that events like those depicted happen all over the world; it is encouraging that this week alone I have seen more Art dedicated to exposing the issues.

Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975.
This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
France exonerates women convicted over abortions before legalisation
Between 1870 and 1975, more than 11,660 people were convicted for performing or seeking an abortion, according to official estimates.

Folklore walks. Not just across imagined lines on maps of nations, not just across time itself. Folklore instinctively walks towards landmarks. When stories see a ruin, a notable tomb or impressive tree, they travel towards them to tether themselves in the landscape. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore

Wild to realize, isn’t it, that part of white privilege has been not even recognizing just how much racism there has been in the US? i hear many white people exclaiming “I had no idea there were so many racists!” People of color have always known it and have had to deal with it. Heartbreaking. 💔
