Considering the winter weather and feminine deities and such

Rain (not snow) is the winter weather here.

A childlike part of me always really enjoyed Christmas (favorite holiday!) Presents? Music? Lights? Yes, yes, yes! However, I also like to explore other deities that were not as much a part of my childhood. Lately, I think Mary is Christmasy & good for moms and kids, but Kwan Yin is sometimes better for those don't connect as well with Mary...it seems like she is for just about everybody. I don't want to shame anyone about not being able to be "a mother" in the traditional sense. Also, I think motherhood is not just about physically giving birth or even being a woman. Men can have many nurturing qualities and be very good with kids. This is the sort of thing that I find fascinating sometimes. And I've noticed that when I am fascinated and learning new things, I am not really in as much turmoil about not being able to "follow the script," and I can enjoy life more. When that happens, I can also do more good for other people because it will flow out easily. It will not feel like a burden, but it will feel more like joy and like what should happen naturally. Life on earth is not always meant to be painful. It can be good.

Well

I am sorry to say this but I am once again completely horrified by how little most "caring" mothers and fathers seem to care when it comes to the men and women who deal with infertility struggles. One of those men or women could be your own son or daughter. Do you want your kids eyeing the edge of a cliff because they feel they can't have kids like you / do what you did?

And a cat will not follow you home. But a cat will follow him home. And the cat will be pleasant company. But you will go to sleep, and wake up to look for the cat, and find the cat disappeared. At peak morning coldness. On the first day of winter. It is life's mystery.

Today

One long obliterating nap.
