AND many of my favorites are the Bedouin beads i collected in egypt - not "precious" jewels by worldly standards, but entirely precious to me!!<br /><br />re: the white... definitely cooler than my other favorite "neutral" of black. it ended up being more practical than one might think... yes, another topic which we can discuss among others in person - hopefully soon!! xoxoxoKayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-59475443780563096362010-10-25T09:59:03.514-07:002010-10-25T09:59:03.514-07:00polli - i hope you take pictures of your queenly s...polli - i hope you take pictures of your queenly self at halloween. i know you'll make a royal Empress(ion)!Kayce aka lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01479940262271959482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-34095696078232499632010-10-24T19:47:22.401-07:002010-10-24T19:47:22.401-07:00Another thought - you're in white clothing in ...Another thought - you're in white clothing in your photos - cool/cooler?

The Empress in the Tarot is one of my favorite cards, as she's the archetypal mother, but I like the way that in most decks, she's also got a queen-like appearance. I've been thinking a lot about the archetype of Queen lately, and am in fact being a queen for Halloween.<br /><br />About poverty - it seems it really does boil down to how one feels inside. I've been poor by American standards my entire adult life, but have only felt it as such when I've compared myself to others.Susan Carpenter Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566372904106529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-53829371655626811642010-10-21T14:57:39.788-07:002010-10-21T14:57:39.788-07:00If you put it that way, lucy, I certainly recogniz...If you put it that way, lucy, I certainly recognize those dinner guests! <br /><br />I have been challenged recently on the solitary lifestyle I have grown into since retirement. I feel quite content and am, at my own pace, opening up again after a period of retrenchment. Perhaps I am fooling myself, though. That's where I was coming from, lucy.

And sovereignty is about dignity, inner strength that supports that freedom. <br /><br />Is there a sovereign without a community/tribe/family to acknowledge her? The issue of community is foremost on my mind these days, I am afraid.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078914306329037697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15693384.post-74335501564988915472010-10-19T07:59:36.811-07:002010-10-19T07:59:36.811-07:00Ye gads, woman--there are no quick stops to your b...Ye gads, woman--there are no quick stops to your blog!! So many beautiful, deep thoughts to ponder!!<br /><br />Hmm...when I think about Sovereign, and also when I think about wealth, one word comes to mind--freedom. Freedom to exist in my world as I choose. Freedom from caring about the opinions of others. Freedom to meet my wants and needs. Freedom to move. Freedom from unnecessary worry (and really, is it ever, truly, necessary?!). Freedom from fear.<br /><br />Yes, freedom--to me that's the ultimate jewel...<br /><br />Again, beautiful post...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182248478422009913noreply@blogger.com
