Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Kelida Date: 23 Apr 00 - 01:53 AM The two roads and especially the yellow wood. The last bird that sings at night, and the first that sings in the morning. The hope of reliving a first kiss. The thought of the future and all it holds. The journey ahead and the long road home. The thought of someday finding a true love. The first note of a song, and all the subsequent notes. The raven and the dove. The stars and the moon that light my path. The green of the first leaf of spring. A sweet, child's voice raised in song or laughter. Power chords. The mellow tone of a clarinet. The sound of a pencil on a sketchbook. The colored pencil called jade. The orange clouds at sunset, and the pink and purple and gold ones. The feel of velvet. The scent of lightning and the sound of thunder. The imperfect stillness of midnight. Dreams of all kinds. Life. Peace--Bridget |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 23 Apr 00 - 01:19 AM The sound of my father's laughter (Mork & Mindy reruns usually do it); the sound of my mother's voice singing "I left my heart in San Fransico"; the intimacy shared between a man and a woman- man&man, woman&woman (where applicable); Paul Harvey; the sight of a baby Robbin receiving its first flight lesson; a spider drinking from a drop of water; swans with their necks entangled, forming a heart; the wee-small outfit which my Godmother saved for forty-two years- the one I was baptized in, & the long-ago dreams that, one day, a child of mine would wear that same set of clothing; the scent of autumn leaves warmed by the sun; a good Chardonnay, and so on and so forth.

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Kelida Date: 22 Apr 00 - 11:01 PM mjm--I wasn't offended. Just wanted to make it clear that I don't consider those to be things that are specifically associated with religion of any kind. I just think that everyone should just go through each day living life the best they can and worry about death when they're dead. If you live a good life even without religion, it's better then living a bad life with religion. But I swear, I wasn't offended, and I'm sorry if I sounded that way. Many apologies. Peace--Bridget |

From: Mark Cohen Date: 22 Apr 00 - 02:20 PM Thought I'd add something that I came up with as a smart-ass high school senior, that I still believe (though I've come to believe a lot more since then). The form was inspired by Piet Hein's "Grooks." Credo The fact that we Find energy In quantum units solely Suggests to me A mystery We might as well call holy Aloha, Mark |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 22 Apr 00 - 08:30 AM Dear Bridget, The Catholic Church is an organization, just like any other organization, in the sense that what transpires within it, can be, is and will have good and bad, depending on who is and isn't a member. The greater capacity "something" has to be good than, naturally, the existence and likelihood for eveil is in direct proportion. Bad presidents, lawyers, doctors, teachers, police departments, mothers and fathers, ect. Perhaps you were taught that Christ Founded the Catholic Church and following Him was Apostle Peter, our first Pope. Down through the ages great evil (regardless of its true origin or identity) most definately came to dwell within the House Of The Lord. We all have been given a Free Will. You are clear on the fact that you no longer have a desire to partisipate in organized religion, and who cannot respect that. I most sincerely apologize if what I said in a previous thread was offensive. But the things which you hold as holy and sacred, the things which you believe in-- harmony, goodness, humanity and love, can easily be viewed as a religion, per Webster's 4: a cause, principle or system of beliefs held with faith. And these same things will always be the hub and spoke of Christianity. It was Christ who first taught us about humanity, our own great capacity for goodness, humility and love, in its purest form. From whatever source, much light and love to you. m

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Kelida Date: 22 Apr 00 - 12:02 AM mjm--I don't think those things have to do with religion so much as they have to do with simple humanity. I'm not a religious person, having become a bit disenchanted with Catholicism after learning about the shady past of the Vatican, and having no real desire to be part of organized religion, which seems to be a big bother and nuisance--causing wars and genocide and all sorts of other horrible things, despite the redeeming value it has as a community and family and optimistic faith. No offense here to anyone who is deeply religious, which is a wonderful thing in and of itself--I wish I could have complete faith that there is something better ahead and that there is actually a meaning to all of this. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I am someone who will always question what is presented to me. However, I do know in my heart, with all the certainty of complete faith, that people as a whole have the capacity for true goodness (but also true evil). To me, the most important things in life will always be Life Itself, Harmony between all things, and Love--which holds it all together. Peace--Bridget |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 21 Apr 00 - 06:30 PM Damn, Sam! Billy The Bus for President. Silly silly me, but that is funny, huh? Apparently someone up above here thinks so too. Thank you for signing off/on. Now I know what to call you. SAM FOR SALVATION!!!! This is by no means a bona fide reply to your wonderful correspondence, Sam; there is so much there and I am often mentally slow myself.... Processing....Please Hold. Peg, thank you for sharing/answering the query I offered up regarding your calendar. That is incredibly intriguing. I have never (to the best of my knowledge) communicated with a Witch before. Perhaps you wouldn't classify this as communication... No joke here: Are you a good Witch or a bad Witch? Or is it like all else, all living spirits, good and bad, Yin and Yang? Dear Bridget, Items one through six, do surely ring of religion to me. Especially love. Perhaps that may be the center, so to speak, of the universe. Definately, the most important part. Blessed Anne Frank, despite her hell and tourment, believed there was good in all man. Mankind? Amazing, isn't it? Peace to you. (o: Spaw, you are happy. You must also be at peace. I should thinks so and, perhaps, the wisest!!! of us all for no longer asking...caring. You simply be. That's beautiful. I'll say it again because...I want to. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL THING. More power to ya!!! My oldest sister, Theresa, was a philosophy major, and I can assure you that she is as confused as them come. (I say that with much love and compassion for her). I'm her biggest fan. Her extremely high I.Q. has apparently rendered her defenseless in the Department of Common Sense amoung other things too. Thank you all for partisipating and partaking in my Can Of Worms. m

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: catspaw49 Date: 21 Apr 00 - 01:17 PM As I keep saying, ya' gotta' love Sam's (Billy the Bus) "Stream of Semi Consciousness" style and although I owe the lad an e-mail, I can say that his freedom of expression hits me where I live!!! This thread has taken a lot of interesting turns. Like Allan, I feel much more in tune with the universe at places outside the confines of organized religion, but whatever winds your watch is good for you, if not me. I undoubtedly wasted my college days as a philosophy major since I have no clue as to the meaning of anything. When asked the meaning of life's basic questions, I am always forced to answer, "I don't know." This defines me as an agnostic. I'm also a happy agnostic as I no longer care what is or is not holy or meaningful, nor do I any longer search for the answers to the mysteries of life. Here at the "Church of No Redeeming Social Value" we worship beneath the banner of one of our saints who said, "There is only what IS; What should be never existed." What I do miss though is the wonderful unleavened bread...homemade...that the ladies made back home for communion. I always wated to take a handful of the drouton sized pieces, but knew this was a no-no. I suppose they use the commercial stuff nowadays and I've never tasted anything with the same flavor since. (Yeah, I was brought up in a religious household, had all the attendance pins and was president of the youth group, acolyte, etc) Spaw |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Amergin Date: 21 Apr 00 - 12:45 PM I have no religion to speak of, but nor am I an Atheist. What I do find sacred though is: Life Death Rebirth Love I also believe that every religion our there is but a piece in a puzzle, if you connect them all you would find the answer. I also believe that they are but different paths to the same place: self fulfillment of the soul. Blessed be. |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Peg Date: 21 Apr 00 - 12:25 PM re: the pagan calendar of festivals... well, the usual Wheel of the Year most witches follow is based on the old agricultural/seasonal calendar, with the major festivals occurring on the Solstices and Equinoxes, and the Cross Quarter Days in between, thus:
Yule (Dec 22 approx) The Provider Cycle includes some of the sigificant lunar events (full and new moons) surrounding those festival days to create its own cycle... peg |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: SDShad Date: 21 Apr 00 - 09:20 AM Hmmm...a 1976 Ford bus for president...Gerald Ford ran for president in 1976.... Coincidence? I think not.... Shad |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Billy the Bus Date: 21 Apr 00 - 03:12 AM Hi mjm, "Billy the Bus" for President? Well, why not? A 1976 19-seat Ford bus would probably make as much sense as most Presidents/Politicians do. Yep, mjm, I drive Billy on tour for a livin' (skinny) I'm actually Sam (fergit to sign off). But "Billy" is the most humanest bus you ever did meet. We gave him a 21st Birthday Party - brought a R&R band down to THE Island, from Dunedin (city on South Island - NZ) and had a "Rock-a-Billy" night at the hall - raised $1,800 for the school. They wouldn't let me bring Billy in to have a drink at the bar, so I took his bottle of whisky and poured it in the petrol tank, outside in the cold. You'd find my accent somewhat different to your cobber in NSW, them Ozzies talk "Strin(g)e" - he'd say "Seed-knee" or "See-knee" - us Kiwi talk proper, and say "Sid-knee" for Sydney....;) My "Holy People"? Mate, I'm rapidly becoming a "golden oldie" myself, but, the real Stewart Island "Golden Oldies" who lived here "man & boy" (of either sex) for 80+ years, are (alas were - they're a dying breed, most are dead just now), like Islanders the world 'round, a "race apart". Our permanent population is <350 we peaked at >500 in the early 80s. At one time there were five GOers at 90+ years. Islanders are notoriously "Conservative" [n'other thread] and, like most rural folk, "slow thinkin' and slow to accept strangers" BS!!! They're "Liberal", think on their feet, and "Love ya or leave ya" pretty quick, depending on their assesment of you. [Aside] The only American "Folk Hero" of the 60s I ever met, personally, was Mike Seeger (I've got a letter from Pete, but never met him). Mike, Pete, and their dad, got a lot of "good stuff" out of the "Golden Oldies". From what? HUMANITY OK, I'm screamin', and, I'm signing off. Otherwise I see a SSC "Spaw"ning mjm, instigator of this fine thread...... You won't get my Easter/Anzac pearls (knit one, purl one, cast two together - for the knitters of Mudcat) - I'm grumpy - your eulogy to "Billy" ended up.... "Over&out" - OK - If you wanna use wireless jingo...;) "OVER" to you, over (C'mon Poms - start a thread there."Take it from here".;^) mjm - Billy and I has a couple or two thngs to say on this thread - but since you obviously don'y want to talk with your "over&out"....... [Tee-hee] OUT to you, me old Cobra.... Over....;;) Sam (Who has never stirred in his life) |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Kelida Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:51 PM I was raised Catholic, but have turned out not to be very religious. However, there are still a lot of things that I find to be sacred. 1. Art and Nature of all kinds are the most important things of all. Nature is everything that is beautiful in its natural state, and should be loved and protected. Art is the meaningful work, be it music, or painting, or dance, or writing, or whatever, that is the epitome of human expression, so should also be protected and revered. 2. All life is sacred and beautiful, and should be revered above all else. 3. All the people who ever died for a noble cause are worthy of respect, followed by all the other dead. 4. All the people that I love are important to me. 5. Freedom is important to me, because without freedom, is life really worth living? 6. Love is also important as the greatest of the emotions of all sentient beings (including animals). This is the other thing that makes life worth living. Hmmm. . . I think that's a good list. . . Oh, wait!! The Mudcat, and all the wonderful people I've met here are the proof that good exists in the world. . . well, the Mudcat and every other good thing in the world. . . :^) Peace--Bridget |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:35 PM Oh! Billy The Bus, G'day, mate, and Happy Trails To You... on the bus tour. Do that for a livin', aye? I liked your letter. Much obliged. I like your accent too. I have a friend who lives in Bulga, NSW. I went to visit him back in '94. Living in the bush, the way he does, with the most basic of basics, was like second nature to me. I realized on a conscious level, just how little is required to survive. For me it was a returning or remembering of a better way of life. Simpler way. I love it up/down there. We committed to connect again before (gasping and ducking for cover here) the end of this world as we know it. I'll return to those parts one day, I hope. Regarding your Holy People, (especially the elders) touched my heart, you know. I don't often hear people speak of the elders in that fashion and wanting to help them. They can offer us "Grasshoppers" so very much if we only take the time to listen... Bully! for Billy. Billy for President! Over&Out, m |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Billy the Bus Date: 20 Apr 00 - 10:30 PM Hi Folks, We're a tad ahead of the world in NZ - it's just past noon on Good Friday, here. We're also "downside-up" as to seasons - it's a beautiful autumn (fall) day here, not spring, as it should be, to celebrate a "seasonal" Easter (be it pagan or Christian). I guess I'd use Solitary Druid as a "religious handle" for myself. Like most others in my community I only attend Church for "Matches and Dispatches" (don't bother with "Hatches"..;). However, I have been known to add my voice to the choir for Xmas services. Like Alan C, my "Holy Place" is the bush, sea and sky of the environment round me. Let's expand that to the Universe. My "Holy People" - I have no family, so damned near everyone I've ever met, but particularly the older "locals". My "Holy Grail" - "If I can help somebody..." - To which end I am a member of our Lions Club My "Holy Cow" - the "Holy Wars" which still plague this sad world of ours. My "Holy Times" - I celebrate our southern seasons (by myself) but, the only "Holy Day" I celebrate in public is ANZAC (Vets) Day, which this year is tacked onto the end of Easter. Despite being a pacifist for 35 years, I'm a member of the RSA (Vet's Assn). Must off on another bus tour... Will continue tonight - there's some NZ Easter/Anzac Day anomolies that I think would fit this thread.... May YOUR God go with you, one and all

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Crowhugger Date: 20 Apr 00 - 05:47 PM I'd have to flip a coin to choose, so I'm saying both: earthworms and crows (the crow family includes ravens). For without the soil-making work of worms, I shudder to think where we and our loved ones would be. Similarly for the carrion cleanup by crows. And, for reasons unknown to me, the sounds of these magical black birds build within me a feeling of safety, strength and community. Singing & dancing, CH |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 05:32 PM Hey Peg! This calendar to which you refer, is it in a spiral as apposed to a grid? It's sounds similar to the one which Marge Piercy refers to in one of her books of poetry... The Moon Is Always Female. I think that's the one. m |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: SDShad Date: 20 Apr 00 - 05:22 PM Peg-- As we Christians gear up for the first in our cycle of ritual (a cycle which is at least half-pagan anyway), may your Day of Awakening be as blessed as you could wish! Returning to the original question: what's sacred or holy to me? At the moment: the incredible moment of silence that comes at the end of our Taize song services; our friends' wondrous premature baby David, who's catching up quite nicely thank you--even when he spits up on my shirt :-); all spaces and times of safety and acceptance; Emmylou Harris' voice; the touch of my wife's hand; Holy Communion, and with it the table of all true human fellowship, be it religious or atheist, Christian or Pagan, Muslim or Jewish, which for me the Eucharist represents. It's all one table. The South Dakota Badlands; the hilltop church in Minnesota where I attended VBS as a child, and where my grandfather is buried; the Mormon Tabernacle (go there, and you'll see what I mean); walking labyrinths; late spring snow; the St. Francis Mission church on the Rosebud Reservation; the Missouri River; whip-poor-wills and blue herons. So, that's my disjointed list, Chris |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Peg Date: 20 Apr 00 - 05:04 PM This week my coven celebrates the Day of the Awakening, the first in a cycle of rituals known as The Book of the Provider. Like Easter (itself descended from an ancient festival dedicated to the Teutonic goddess of Spring, Oestre), it falls in the calendar corresponding to the the first new moon after the vernal equinox. This ritual cycle culminates near Samhain with Harvest Home, and in between their of Rites of Sowing, Rites of Good Gathering, Rites of Seasoning, etc etc. blessed be Peg |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 12:52 PM Allan C, An old song by Joni Mitchell, ...death and birth and death and birth that's all there is... Jeeeeze, I can't think of the title. Which is unusual for me 'cause I really lived and breathed her before she went 'Jazz' Oh well. I'm glad that alls well that ends well between you and I and that A word. Oh, regarding your response to the last question, What will you be... Truly! it is all about energy. The energy we create, transmit and the stuff we recieve too. I also believe that, at least for a time we do become a part of the universe when we leave here. Perhaps until the next time we walk this earthly plane. But, God, I do hope this is my final Curtain Call. (That's the impression you gave me). Energy never dies, although some would argue that it does in fact dissiapte. m |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Allan C. Date: 20 Apr 00 - 12:23 PM I was in no way offended, mjm. I just thought perhaps I was misunderstood. I admire all who have considered the question of what they consider sacred or holy. It is a bit surprising to me find that there are many who do not give such things much thought. There are so very many questions floating around out there about life, death, love, purpose, etc.. It is nice to hear some "answers" once in a while. There are even some great songs about this topic. For instance, "Young Man" (which I have only heard performed by The Womenfolk). The first line is, "With what do you concern yourself, young man?" Succeeding verses begin with, "What are you crying for, young man?" and "What will you be when your life is through, young man?" Good questions. I'll try to post the lyrics after a while in a different thread. But I will tell you what the response to the last question is: "I'll be one with the fire in a lover's eyes, the pale of the moon in the midnight skies, the birth of a man and the death he dies - and love." Anybody else know of any songs which are more or less on this topic? |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:49 AM Allan C, I did not interpret, nor did I assume you were an Atheist. I was just making a comment with a rather poor segue, I may add. It matters not to me the religion which any man may hold close to his heart. Although I do have a time time with those relating to the Anti-Christ. I apologize for any misunderstanding of if something I said was offensive. Peace&Quiet, m |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Mooh Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:32 AM Allan C, I love your last paragraph, for I have felt that way many times. There is a place I call my own that isn't mine and shouldn't be anybody's, but brings me "home" every time. I suppose this is a common characteristic of the human brain, and heart. I didn't mention it as a holy thing in my life, but it is. I wasn't thinking about places earlier. Peace, Mooh. |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Allan C. Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:22 AM When asked what my religion is, I usually answer that I am a pedestrian. |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Allan C. Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:16 AM I never claimed to be an Atheist, mjm. |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 11:09 AM Allen C, Amen! I admire those who consider themselves to be an Atheist. Those who are good and kind and loving, without being motivated by some reward program in the here-after, I believe to be truly holy spirits. I really enjoyed reading your letter. Thanks! m |
|
Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Allan C. Date: 20 Apr 00 - 10:57 AM I remember a time when I thought that when people were talking about Maundy Thursday, it was because they could't make up their minds what day it was!
I suppose my answer is much the same as Mooh's except Communion for me is probably a rather different affair than his. I have very little use for organized religion. I feel that such things are the pitiful inventions of Man in an attempt to find a "correct" pathway to the higher being. But I will defend to the death, your right to pursue whatever path you have chosen. |
|
Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 10:53 AM Mooh, Indeed, your faith need not be questioned; that's not where I was coming from. I was baptized a Chatolic, although I have always drawn strength and light from many beliefs. I don't subscribe to the 'Get it right the first time' policy. "....We have all been here before...." Haven't we? Thank you for being open with The Stranger Among Us. The Doing Unto Others part is 'The Road Less Traveled'; I admire your self-awareness and your efforts, too! m |
|
Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: Mooh Date: 20 Apr 00 - 09:57 AM Hi, I'll answer the question... Most holy in my religious life aside from prayer is the Holy Communion, assuming that my faith need not be questioned. Most holy in my personal life is not my fishing gear or my guitars but my family. Most holy in my selfish life is irrelevant and conceited. This includes my occupation and my various hobbies, interests and pursuits. But while we're on the subject, forgive me please, my favourite guitar, fishing rod and reel, hat, pocket knife, hiking boots, books... Most holy among my wishes is to give more, take less, obey nature and to do onto others as I would have them do onto me. I still have trouble with this one, all the time, but I'm trying. Peace, and Happy Easter (even though it's Maundy Thursday), Mooh. |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: SDShad Date: 20 Apr 00 - 09:05 AM MMario-- Indeed, we're celebrating Maundy Thursday tonight at our Congregational church. Our minister conducts a Tenebrae service this day each year, with candles, darkness, Communion by "intincture" (sp?) which basically means dipping the bread in the wine, apparently a very old practice. It's one of the few times of the year we use real wine for Communion. He really creates a very sacred space with this ceremony. Oh, yeah, and we'll be singing McGrath's "White Snow of the Springtime" at Tenebrae tonight. Wish us luck! Chris |

Subject: RE: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: MMario Date: 20 Apr 00 - 08:58 AM Maundy thursday is celebrated by far more people then just Catholics....and, as you are probably aware, is primarily a reflection on Christ's celebration of the Passover with his disciples.... |

Subject: Holy Cow, Moses, Mackerel, Toledo.... From: mjm Date: 20 Apr 00 - 08:28 AM Good morning, one and all, Today is Holy Thursday. Many of you might know it's the day in the Catholic faith which precedes Good Friday. Duh. (Believe you me, I ain't intendin' to start no Holy Wars here.) In this world we all live in, where so very little, in my observation, remains sacred, (maybe that's a Good thing),I'm interested in knowing what is most holy in the life and times of you. Thanks, Easter Bunnies! Peace&Quiet, m PS, oh where oh where is the Spell Ckeck button
