I'm sorry to say that my current projects are slightly depressing. Maybe I did a good job this time and my writing will explain why.But first,...

This weekend will be the last time you can get authentic Sarah-loved food from Wild Abandon. This is my last weekend cooking, and I have another week left after that. But you can still go and get that yummy food, even if I don't work there anymore. Because they really are the best restaurant in Portland.

Also, Grand Opening for the Rock and Roll Cafe   is this Monday. Menu is up on the website, go check it out.

Now...

 This is Guide Me

In a changing forest, I’ve become lost

the light I’ve seen shine so bright

when my journey was new

has since grown dim, clouded over with doubt

My compass that so rightly balanced

has been spinning for some time now.

I know where North and South lay,

but now I’m not sure of my heading

I’ve lost companions to their own life’s journeys

And I have a feeling even they can’t guide me now

I’m living and learning to my best ability

but without that magical glow, without ethereal transference.

My cloak has torn, but I feel no cold

My dagger has been made dull, but no game wanders by.

My flask has gone dry, but the water of life sustains me still.

I miss the days of faery dancing on hills,

of singing chorus on Twilight and feeling the stars commune with Earth.

Of mind speaking with lovers, and empathic embraces with friends.

The path at my feet is now littered in Autumn’s leavings.

Yet I shall trudge through it,

my feet are tough and my will is strong

I shall trudge thought it,

for to give up now, to curl at the side of the trails

and succumb to an early sleep

Would be blasphemy of every sort against my true self.

 

Guide me, Goddess.

And just because I'm feeling shameless and wanting,
this is Three Goals

It whispered in my mind that day,

that day I let my defenses fall

in the wake of your Sword and Plinth

It whispered in my mind that day

“Beauty. Love. Happiness.”

Three fates of life, three goals to live for.

I had no choice that day,

I’m devoted to you.

With those three traits, entwined

you are now always in mind

in intentions, in life

Beauty. Love. Happiness.

I’ll do these for you as long as I have a place

in your mind, heart, and Time.

An appropriate song today:
"Eurus, we call upon the east wind
Notus, we call upon the south wind
Zephyrus, we call upon the west wind
Boreas, we call the north wind
Spirit mother hear thy pagan son

On winter solstice night
Waxing mon reveals a new dawn
(The) dark king transforms to infant light
The cycle of ancient times has begun
IO'EVOHE we are reborn

Candlemass brings the (growing) child sun
The triple goddess comes shining down
As witches sing with inspiration
Spiral dancing round and round

The spring equinox rises high
(The) dark maiden returns to us
The woods abound with faery goblins
Pan performs his songs of lust

Rejoice in the beltane sabbat
When lilac performes this magickal night
Naked we leap the sacred fire
And feast upon fruits and violet wine

On the day of summer solstice
The sun king will embrace the litha queen
And perish in the wake of Lughnasad
So may a splendid harvest be reaped

On Mabon we follow the lord of shadows
The empty season is upon us
Lady autumn blows leaves of sadness
Chanting as our offerings turn to dust

Ancestor wraiths ride on Samhain night
To proclaim the mystery of passing
Wearing a death cloak smiles the waning king
Let us see what the future will bring

Death is rebirth
The end brings new beginning
Ever turning
The wheel of the Pagan cycle

Anadia... Klephera... Nuit... Mercury... Hestia...
Horus... Brigit... Vulcan... Aphrodite... Ea... Isis...
Akasha... IO EVOHE!"
