version posted by debra she who seeks at 06 32 1 comment labels cats spirituality monday 13 july 2009 the phuckem philosophy of life stepping to the beat of a different drummer will of course inevitably bring you into conflict with those who say you must step to the beat of their drummer instead insistence on your own right to integrity will be called selfish inconsiderate wrong dysfunctional etc and after that the characterizations will really start to go downhill one day many years ago my sister and i were arguing about whether it is more important for gay people to be openly themselves than it is to accommodate straight people s discomfort with homosexuality my position of course was that gay people s right to integrity trumps straight people s socially learned discomfort and moreover straight people should just get over it my sister who was nearly apoplectic at this point in the argument sputtered in frustration you know you ve got a real a real fuck em philosophy of life this brought the argument to a dead halt then we both burst into peals of laughter and a new expression was born but the truth of the matter is that yes sometimes you must apply the phuckem philosophy of life as i now more delicately refer to it sometimes you must do what is necessary for your own integrity rather than sacrificing it for the alleged best interests of others and you must let the chips fall where they may posted by debra she who seeks at 06 30 3 comments labels politics sunday 12 july 2009 hearing different drummers today is the birthday of henry david thoreau 1817 1862 advocate of civil disobedience father of environmentalism philosopher of walden pond when i was a teenager i had a poster on my wall with one of thoreau s most famous quotations from his book walden if a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer let him step to the music which he hears however measured or far away i thought about this quotation a lot when i was young i let it guide me as if it granted me permission to be myself it gave me reassurance that it s not necessary to be like everyone else that it is okay to be unequivocally yourself taking this quotation to heart saved me a lot of heartache i suspect and a lot of wasted time trying to be someone i was not so thank you henry david thoreau and happy birthday

so fortuitous and man that book is frickin huge sort of like the great white whale itself melville sure could have used a good editor that s all i m saying i ve tried to read this novel before but have always been defeated by the teeny tiny print used by publishers to cram all that text into a single volume the eye strain just wasn t worth it but now i have found the free website literature page which has full online texts of many classic works of literature in the public domain it features novels and some poetry primarily by american british french and russian authors so now i m attempting to read moby dick again but this time using zoom view to full advantage it s so great to have a larger text version and my my my melville s coded homosexual imagery is a lot more obvious to a 21st century reader than it would have been to the average mid 19th century reader it s clear for example that ishmael and queequeg were gettin it on hey this is my type of book posted by debra she

practised incessantly and improved my technique with a nice vibrato effect learned from an uncle but my whistling upset my grandma who was very much a product of the victorian age in which she had been raised according to her world view whistling was simply not ladylike only boys should whistle girls should be quiet and decorous every time she heard me whistling she would recite the following dire little ditty whistling girls and crowing hens both shall come to no good ends i heard that poem a lot when i was growing up a lot my grandma was born on july 13 1888 this year would be her 121st

posted by debra she who seeks at 06 30 3 comments labels cats moby dick reading tuesday 7 july 2009 what the stained glass taught me i love stained glass windows but find that much of their imagery is not surprisingly too entirely christian for my taste however many years ago in a small benedictine chapel in manitoba i discovered the most beautiful stained glass windows that i have ever seen as shown by this photo they do not depict saintly or biblical images but instead simply consist of an abstract pattern of squares and rectangles made from brightly coloured glass separated by black borders of varying width it is the nature of the glass itself which makes such a profound statement in these windows the artist did not use beautiful thin perfect pieces of stained glass no these pieces are thick and heavy they are not uniform in their appearance some have big bubbles in the glass others have whorls distortions inner cracks and other imperfections you might go so far as to call this glass ugly it looks like the artist chose all the rejects for these windows but late in the day when the setting sun pours through the misshapen glass these windows are transformed they glow with intense light and bathe the small chapel in the most glorious colours the ugly glass becomes so beautiful and powerful that it takes your breath away it wasn t until i saw this transformation happen that i finally understood what the artist was saying we all have flaws and imperfections but our true inner beauty is revealed when divine light and love shines through us photo taken by a photographer named quiplash and found on flickr posted by debra she who seeks at 06 33 3 comments labels my winnipeg spirituality monday 6 july 2009 virtual votives although i am not from a catholic background i have always been strongly drawn to the spiritual practice of lighting candles as an accompaniment to prayer i like the idea that our prayerful communication with the divine continues while the candle burns spiritually it s a wonderful idea from a fire safety point of view not so much that s why i love the website of brother david steindl rast a now elderly benedictine monk who has made prayer and gratitude his life s work along with ecumenical dialogue between christianity and buddhism on his site www gratefulness org you can light a virtual candle which will burn for a full 48 hours accompanied by your prayer which can reflect any form of spirituality of course over 7 million of these free candles have been lit since 2001 simply click on the light a candle button on the

pie for everyone posted by debra she who seeks at 07 15 2 comments labels fourth of july friday 3 july 2009 the dinner party part 2 a couple of months ago i attended the readers studio tarot conference in new york while there i made a pilgrimage to the brooklyn museum to see the dinner party it was everything i dreamed it would be the installation is impressively almost overwhelmingly large everything about the display is exquisite i spent at least two hours utterly absorbed by it and the women were there what a price they had paid to be at that table so finely displayed and now i can see at last the past is before me and the women are there from judy fjell s song the dinner party this iconic work of art has accomplished so many things for women the dinner party helped to give women our rightful place at the table by acknowledging our place in history it was one of the first public showcases of women s re emerging consciousness of the divine feminine and the goddess the dinner party also rejoiced in glorious vulva imagery which unlike phallic imagery was rarely portrayed as art in the male centred western tradition and last but not least the dinner party successfully challenged the art establishment s dogma that embroidery ceramics and fibre arts the traditional media of female artistic expression were mere handicrafts deemed unsuitable for recognition or display as art the dinner party is truly one of the twentieth century s great works of art i am so glad to have finally seen it in person but the next best way to see it is through the magick of the internet the brooklyn museum has a fabulous website devoted to the dinner party including a virtual tour close ups of every place setting and biographies of every honoree at the table check it out here posted

judy chicago pictured above in the late 1970s she created her most famous work the dinner party it consists of a huge triangular ceremonial banquet table with 39 place settings each place setting honours a woman queen or goddess from various historical eras the installation is rich with embroidery and other needlework and each place setting features a magnificent ceramic plate capturing the essence of the honoree the dinner party toured north america for the first few years after it was created in the early 1980s it made one stop in western canada in calgary i know many women who travelled great distances to see it often from one or two provinces away my rare one was among those lucky women who saw the dinner party at that time but unfortunately i was not able to attend the exhibit when the tour of the dinner party was over no art gallery or museum in the united states would agree to put it on permanent display this refusal to provide exhibit space forced judy chicago to box up the dinner party and store it in a warehouse for nearly two decades the art establishment s scandalous treatment of the dinner party caused great resentment among feminists finally about 5 years ago the elizabeth a sackler foundation was able to create the centre for feminist art at the brooklyn museum in new york specifically for the purpose of putting the dinner party on permanent display tomorrow s post my pilgrimage to see the dinner party posted by debra she who seeks at 06 39 3 comments labels i am woman hear me roar mainland usa trips wednesday 1 july 2009 happy canada day
