A look into the life of a post-hippy, neo-shaman, Zen Buddhist novice(ette). Friday, June 23, 2006. A weak hand beckoning. In its inability to. A closed mouth,. Lips tight against strained teeth. Bared only in conflict and combat. Decadance is a deep undertow. Rythms softer than our ears. Sighs softer that our hearts. Animal nature is the creeping anger. The crouching words ready to spring. The glove fist paw raised. But silence now and silence is a breath. A balm on my burnt. Posted by Gaelin at 5:03 PM.

Flapping Mouths: March 2006
http://flappingmouths.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Four Zen monks were meditating in a monastery. All of a sudden the prayer flag on the roof started flapping. The younger monk came out of his meditation and said: "Flag is flapping" A more experienced monk said: "Wind is flapping" A third monk who had been there for more than 20 years said: "Mind is flapping." The fourth monk who was the eldest said, visibly annoyed: "Mouths are flapping! Friday, March 31, 2006. I do wonder though - if all your decisions are already being made by the Tao (because your br...

I started these canvasses by giving them a light black wash, and then leaving them to dry on my study floor. Minutes later my son walked past and inadvertently stood on one. I quite liked the result so I had him stand on the other one too :). Not what I had in mind when I started out, but I'm pleased anyway. Posted by Gaelin at 12:59 PM. It's just my life.

A look into the life of a post-hippy, neo-shaman, Zen Buddhist novice(ette). Friday, February 03, 2006. I started blogging for two reasons. The first was as a means of meeting and connecting with like-minded people, and the second was as an outlet for all the thoughts and feelings that I wouldn't necessarily share with the people around me. I thought the virtual remove would make interaction safer, in terms of being a buffer between me and everyone else. Doesn't seem like it though. It's just my life.

A look into the life of a post-hippy, neo-shaman, Zen Buddhist novice(ette). Sunday, November 27, 2005. This is a picture I drew during a particularly idealistic phase. I like the feeling of innocence it portrays. She is one of my many personas. The girl-child. Then there are the more hardcore ones, the destructive Kali personalites. Action into an action, which is then free of any conceptual persona or personality attachments. This action is as close to the real. Posted by Gaelin at 9:37 PM. What's even...

A look into the life of a post-hippy, neo-shaman, Zen Buddhist novice(ette). Wednesday, December 21, 2005. I got tagged by a blog buddy.I gotta list 5 of my weirdest habits :) Here goes. 1 I don't use deoderants or perfumes.ok I know that sounds gross but believe it or. Not the body has a pretty good scent if it's just left alone and washed well ;). And of course the pheramones have a chance to flourish once the artficial scents. 2 I can't drink more than one glass of wine without getting sloshed (heehee).

A look into the life of a post-hippy, neo-shaman, Zen Buddhist novice(ette). Monday, October 31, 2005. I've started a new painting (I know I've mentioned this already) but the difference with this one is that I'm going to be posting my progress on my art site. That way anyone who's interested in the art process can watch a new piece take shape. I think it'll be fun. Getting down to basics :). Posted by Gaelin at 5:16 PM. Saturday, October 29, 2005. This whole blog thing. Not like that in the 'real' world!
