Well I was going to go gyming it this morning, but after all the lifting and carrying over the weekend I feel like I have already done a work out - one of the disadvantages of our house is lugging everything to the car - and having thought it could stay there till next week just remembered that we have to pick up Ange n Emz on Wed....the Sat market in it's 2nd week so nothing doing, but it is in such a beautiful place that hanging around there for a few hours is a pleasure and once the season gets under way there will be a lot more punters stopping off at lunchtime - Venta San Antonio is an original old coaching house, with a small river running alongside so it a lush oasis, I'll get some photos next week. The organisers are not charging us a pitch fee until things take off which is fair enough
Yesterday we went down to Pizarra with just "tat" - wow this little market has certainly started to take off now with lots more stalls and punters of varying types, so made a few bucks and paid my pitch - next week I shall take a few crochet items too - can only get better
So today get rest of stuff from car and spend some time making up new posters and updating my little photo album of crochet wear that folks can look through, also need to make up more labels - tomorrow is major clean up day and readying the place for our guests LOL

Sa you came to mind when I read this bit, seemed to "answer" your last email :) How do we know we have "moved on " unless we have the chance to respond/react differently in a similar situation.......
The problem, as I am experiencing it in my own life and as I see it in others, is that the old energy patterns keep arising and trying to pull us back into dramas and illusions that really have no place in........read on.....

ENTER THE GATEWAY OF THE MUSE! - as I read this one I could literally feel my heart lift and my smile broaden

It's hard to know whether to laugh or to cry at the human predicament. Here we are with so much wisdom and tenderness, and-without even knowing it-we cover it over to protect ourselves from insecurity. Although we have the potential to experience the freedom of a butterfly, we mysteriously prefer the small and fearful cocoon of ego." more here.....

The US has Saturn in Libra, as do many of the baby boomers who will be experiencing their second Saturn return in 2011 along with the US Saturn return. This is an interesting article with some points to think about for the future.Now many people will doubt the significance of such occurrences, but the fact is that every Saturn return for the United States has been marked by at least one direct and harsh confrontation with other countries over what is fair internationally, and—on those occasions—every President involved has made mistakes . . . the most prevalent being to employ "protective" measures and take an isolationist stance.read more here...

In essence a Declaration of Independence is an announcement, or assertion, of separateness. This is the antithesis of what our World needs right now - yet it forms the backbone of belief of each and every citizen of one of the largest and most powerful nations on the globe.....What is needed now is a new type of American Revolution - a change American's can not only believe in but the entire world can benefit from - and that may involve Mr Obama (and his opponent) instilling a 'declaration of interdependence' into the hearts and minds of the public. American's and the nations of the globe need to pull together and recognise that nothing happens to one part of humanity that doesn't affect the whole.read more here....

Since 1839, the world inventory of photographs has been accumulating at an accelerating pace, multiplying into a near infinitude of images, into a resemblance of a Borgesian library. This haunting technology has been with us long enough now that we are able to look at a crowd scene, a busy street, say, in the late 19th century and know for certain that every single figure is dead. Not only the young couple pausing by a park railing, but the child with a hoop and stick, the starchy nurse, the solemn baby upright in its carriage - their lives have run their course, and they are all gone. And yet, frozen in sepia, they appear curiously, busily, oblivious of the fact that they must die - as Susan Sontag put it, "photographs state the innocence, the vulnerability of lives heading towards their own destruction ..."
