Spiritual Wonderings

Good evening gentle readers,

I have been pondering a lot on matters of the spiritual variety lately. I seem to be heading in the direction of Buddhism. I guess it makes sense. Buddhism seems to be in alignment with much of the standards and ideas that I seek to live my life by. Though, as always, I wish I could find a teacher or mentor. The problem is, that there is so much information out there. How can I research the different schools of Buddhism? Who should I be reading? I would be eternally grateful for some guidance, but I am not sure where to turn. The nearest Buddhist center is an hour drive away, and in another state. The local library is not much use. I am in the middle of rural nowhere. What is a Witch to do? So I find myself in the position of being  not quite Pagan eclectic Witch with Buddhist leanings. Life is complicated.

A Breakfast Tea

Greetings gentle readers,

It is the first day of June. Hooray! Well, maybe? It is now June. Summer should be here.

Yet, it is only supposed to reach a high temperature of  65 F or 18 C. This is not exactly what I call Summer weather. So I thought to myself, what an excelent day for a breakfast tea. 

We had almond poppyseed tea bread with cream cheese, cherries, and over medium eggs, with some genmaicha to drink.

I used the Chinese tea set that my husband and I purchased together on our honeymoon in the strip district of Pittsburgh.

All in all it made for a rather nice if chilly start to June day.

Today I will be sharing with:

Early Morning Musings

Good morning dear readers,

This morning I woke up early, a few hours before my family. There is just something special about those quiet moments, when the house seems so peaceful and serene. I let out the dog, fed the cats, finished some house work, then sat down for a peaceful cup of coffee by myself. I know it isn't much but, these are the moments we need to be grateful for.
