Comment on The Way of Universal Balance: Prayer and Meditation by RetweetLister

I’ve found “prayer” to be functionally useless. But meditation daily and nearly-daily yoga have helped me tremendously. Meditation can be used to increase your power too. It’s not just for stress relief. It’s helpful with increasing strength in a variety of ways, done correctly.

I could never sew all my clothes. I stink with a machine and by hand would be nuts. Sometimes I wish I had the skill and ambition, but I just don’t.

I read something about a place (probably out west) where they had a lot of skulls and bones for sale. The only customers they had were doctors and artists. :-)
I have several skulls, a bison over my fireplace, to represent the physical and spiritual life buffalo gave us. And, a coyote skull I bought at wacipi. Coyotes are night singers and speak Lakota, so I need to remind myself to do that.

Or, you could do what I do and sew whatever you want it to be. I started sewing when I was 8 years old, my Mom taught me how and my grandmas both sewed. My grandpa also did some sewing, my brother sews and both my sons can sew. My sons sew things like vinyl car and boat seats, but my youngest also sewed quilts in highschool.
As far as sizes, you just take your measurements and use that to make your pattern. No need to figure out what a size 0 is. I mean really, how can anyone be a size of 0? That’s ridiculous! You can purchase patterns and adjust them, to start with. Or, you can use clothing that fits you well and make a pattern from that. Make a test mock up from muslin or an old sheet, to check the fit, then make the real thing. Use whatever type of fabric you want, in a color or print you like, be free! Adding pockets is super easy. So is adding a flare to the pant leg. There are unlimited options! Be creative!

IF you have a garden, you could bury the mouse and let the worms feed, or under a flowerpot for a week to let the ants strip off the meat. That is what my friend does.

Oh, don’t even get me started on “athletes”. One football player makes more in a year than a whole school full of teachers combined. Society vales “entertainment” and brain-rot over anything that matters.

Money isn’t the root of all evil, it’s what people do with it. But we value the dollar over people, over intelligence, talent or heart. It’s a horrible direction to be moving in.

You obviously have numerous gifts and talents, but you too are without social connection. You’re also afraid to be yourself, you’re anonymous because of what people would think of you if they knew the truth. It’s sad that anyone lives like that. People should hold you in high regard.

I guess all we really have in the world is each other. Those of us who know what truly matters have to stick together. We have to help one another feel valued for what we really are and try to educate the rest of the world to what really matters.

Unfortunately, in our case, this society does not value art/artists the way they should. Instead, they worship sports and entertainment people, who really don’t contribute much, in my opinion. Ultimately, a society is judged by it’s artifacts, not it’s “sportifacts.” Money is the root of all evil, or the greed syndrome. But, what can we expect, when our country is built on capitalism?
I have a way above average IQ, I am creative, interested in/care about animals, environment, other cultures and taught myself another language, so I could understand and communicate with that culture better. I have been gifted with other talents, such as being high in prophecy, teaching and having psychic abilities. I am a strong dreamer, in a literal sense. These are not qualities our society values. I also play piano keyboard, design and sew garments.
I can’t find any friends, either. I don’t drink, smoke, gamble, swear and not interested in sports. I don’t cause trouble and it doesn’t even cross my mind.

Dear Briana:

You also run a mean, space-out, happenin’ restaurant! Don’t leave that out!

Love,

Eligah

P.S. I’ll have to read some of your books before the year is out!

Comment on Why Are People So Hung Up On Money? by Jaecen

Jaecen — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 07:15:00 +0000

I agree, and from my point of view I’d rather have poor friends than rich ones. People with less money are true and genuine, many people who’ve become rich had to cut a few throats or stab some people in the back to get there. Not all, but many.

Comment on The Pink Unicorn and the Black Unicorn (Short Story) by Briana Blair

Thank you. I really need to do more of this. I’ve done so much art, it would be great to have little stories to go with them. Not to mention, the stories are a great way to plug the art!
