Goddess Ink, Ltd. plans to release an anthology of stories, poems, and articles about Brigid on Feb. 2, 2012, called Brigit: Sun of Womanhood. I've always loved Brigid (hence my alias). She's the goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft. Her holiday reminds us that even when it's dark and cold, light is growing where we can'[t see it. I need a reminder of that sometimes, when life or HCV gets me down. I can't wait to read it. I've also been feeling drawn to rereading Patanjali's yoga sutras. If I find any tidbits that would inspire, and make sense out of context, I'll print them. One of my favorite sutras is when the guru told the student that meditation requires one point focus, it doesn';t matter on what. The student had a pet buffalo he loved. One day the master came to visit and the student said, "I can't get out the door; my horns are too big." And the teacher knew he had succeeded in meditation -- he had "become" the buffalo. Hmm, as I re-read this, I fear it's losing something in translation. Anyway, I am off to do my nightly 20 min. I focus on breath, or the third eye. I'd hate to turn into my out of control puppy!
