gossip steals your sovereignty
One of the cornerstone qualities of a King is that they know where their realm begins and ends. They understand the boundaries of their responsibilities. They understand what is needed of them, how to take care of themselves, their people, their community, their responsibilities. They conserve their energy for what is under their control, so that they can show up fully and intentionally in the areas that they rule over. This necessarily means not getting involved in what is outside of their realm, what is outside the “borders” of their lives, their world, their responsibility.

Hi, I’m Hari, I read a poem and now I’m pretentious
Hi, I’m Hari, I read a poem and now I’m pretentious
But, I will say this, it does something, doesn’t it? Poetry. It does something to your brain. Pokes a finger in and wiggles around inside it.
The World Is Too Much With Us The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;— Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not. Great God! I’d rather be A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn; So might I, standing on this pleasant lea, Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea; Or hear old Triton blow his wreathèd horn.

Art as a Way of Being
Art as a Way of Being
AC: So what are you being paid for? RR: The confidence that I have in my taste and my ability to express what I feel has proven helpful for artists.
I no longer see “being creative” as something I do when I have a camera in hand, or when I sit down at my computer. Creativity is absolutely found in everyday tasks and how one approaches the world and their place in it. It is absolutely a way of being, as Mr. Rubin’s book explains wonderfully. It seems a very calming and empowering place to be.
One of my primary takeaways from The Creative Act is the importance of being open. Open to new ideas, open to new approaches, open to being wrong. When one is proactively open, as I have been practicing, navigating the world becomes a bit more pleasant. I find myself more respectful of the creative efforts of others, and more a part of their community. I feel a kinship with anyone trying to make something creative, no matter how successful a given output may be. Making something is the essential first step toward making something great.

The Field
The Field
Through the half-light of a northern winter morning, through a smudging rain that wets you from the inside out, through air saturated with the sound of the Atlantic swell, never resting, looms a fenceline.
I ask the gate again, in all the languages I know, with all the incantations I have learnt or guessed at, to let me in. But its face remains steady and its eyes fixed on the western horizon.
The slow bleaching of a way of life progressed so gradually that you could almost not perceive its advance. Then one morning I noticed that my fingers and cheeks had become deathly white. I had to leave. I brought my fine tup and his companions off the field that I had prepared for him, and took him to a good home. And a shiny new metal gate down by the beautiful shore would never open for me again.

Riverwitch – stories of time and place
On the lessons came, thick and fast throughout that spring and summer, dealing one blow after another. They didn’t all come from animals. I began to get anonymous hate mail – emails and comments on my blog – from someone in America who had discovered that I’d once worked for a tobacco company and imagined that it was some big secret and that they were going to ‘out’ me. It had never been a big secret – why would it be? – and I’d talked about it publicly on a number of occasions. But that didn’t prevent the intensity of the unpleasantness, the curious sense of violation added to the isolation I was feeling and the death and dying all around me, from almost toppling me.
