Busy Stari!

Have you seen any good mushrooms?
It's the right season: they're everywhere!

Wait, wait, wait! You're sharing pictures! I so want in!!! I'll be sure to include digits in a note I'm firing off to you anyhow.

Ahhh a day at a time! That Stari IS YOU. You just have to show her off more often.

*hugs*

Sorry I have been gone so long.. I have missed you so much!.. My curent romatic situation .. is not "suicide girl" friendly and would rather I never looked at the site.. now you may ask yourself.. why would you stay in a relationship that restrains you so?... or you may not, but I am.. .. anyway.. just wanted to say Hi.. and send hugs... hope all is well with you.. I will try to catch up, but I am at work.. and don't know how this would fly with the boss.. alththough I have a hunch

I've already made one donation to the Humane Society to help them in the rescue & rehabilitation of domesticated animals that were injured in this mess.
We have close to 1,000 evacuees here in Phoenix at the Veteran's Memorial Colliseum. They've set up a warehouse through Goodwill to accept donations of toiletries & other items the evacuees will probably need. I haven't gone there yet but I plan on doing so before the week is over, since I've taken this week off from work. There are also supposed to be about 800 evacuees brought to Tucson, AZ this week. I also heard that several will be going to Lubbock, TX, where some of my family members & family friends live. This relief effort is going to take a lot of dedication & hard work from volunteers too. I may try to volunteer in the coming weeks locally for those evacuees. Every little bit will help!

I hope to spread the spirit of starisea far and wide (in this case by wielding plastic, but mostly by wielding chocolate

I didn't know 'Dark Horse' was from Portland! I was going to ask you if you thought it was a worthwhile place to visit, as Anton in 'Dig' didn't seem impressed at all.

I think I can guess your answer.

Hello, lovely lass! Time has prevented me from posting here proper but, better late than...later, non? I was doubly reminded to pay you a visit as I'd convinced someone to begin reading the His Dark Materials series... They were ably agreeable to the task but, with you as back-up, they wouldn't have had a word in edge-wise.

I have this week off from work and am trying to use some of it to fire off e-mails to friends in need of one...I'd thought of adding you to the list. So, expect something soon beloved Stari spinner.

Objects and events can only become 'hallowed' if they are observed and contemplated. The more you dwell on these things the greater their objectivity and relevence in the mind of someone living and observing. We create this world and can only make relevant what we catalogue and regard as relevant. Those unnoticed occourances are essential but can never become beautiful as beauty is an applied human subjectivity. To create beauty you MUST observe and document those events that inspire beauty within you. Once installed in your mind you can pass on the noitons of beauty to other people, thus making the things observed more beautiful.

Hope this helps. xT

Sin City didn't really do it for me: amazing lto look at though.

I agree about Depp & Burton: they both great but when they work together they reach great heghts.

I always loved Bill Hicks' bit on the need to squeegee one's third eye! I went back and reread my last e-mail to you and guffawed at my four-in-the-morning spelling.

it just so happens that i'm currently reading "opening the doors of perception" by Aldous Huxley....

*dances around in stari glitter while cheeks are held up in giant smiles with stari kisses...*

oh hell yes... you are SUCH a piece of ass...and i mean that in the most respectful way...

WOW! yum.

BTW... BECK... how is that even a question!!?

hey precious - i think the whole world needs a superspecialspiderstariseasmooshoflove right about now. more kissing, less fighting.

hoping you and the beloved sol are oh so well.

loving you over thoughts of chai.

i believe he is taking the summer off, but if he's not back by my birthday then i will definitely be happy to spring for such a thing!

Fear not Stari, I'm purging my system for greater good. Once I say my final goodbyes to my equipment I will be receiving a laptop software based system to record, create and perform anywhere; free from the shakle of office chair and bad view.

It's all taking a long time but I'll post my first track round here somewhere and you'll be the first to know about it.

Keep enjoing the sky and well done on your choice of Meat Beat Manifesto.

Soon.xH

You know Stari, I think you'd love the Glastonury festival; I expect you'd spent your time in The Green Fields and never see any bands. It's so inspiring in there.

I finally saw one of the bands you mentioned ages ago: Dresden Dolls. They were amazing.

What a lovely morsel of spiritual wisdom that quote is!!!! I feel very sad for those who choose the former of those two...

Thanks for the compliments!
I've just uploaded a few more pix.

Can't wait to see new Stari pics. Thanks for the well wishes.

i dreamt of phreaky mushroom gills and seeing thier fire...

**mwuaH!***

fear is the mother of violence

Peter Gabriel

fear - hate - emotion ........ it's out there

I'm the sort of person who feels it - who climbs inside

I think we are all conduits of this energy - our lizard brain taking and giving this flight or fight animal undercurrent

I think the energy is to be shaped into creativity - although the shape of emotion is too often distorted into theologies of confusion

-------------

I've read a book by Eknath Easwaran - on meditation. A practice I'm conscious of, but don't implement

-This is the teaching of Yoga-
-Yoga is the cessation of the turnings of thought-
-When thought ceases the spirit stands in its true identity as observor to the world-
-Otherwise the observor identifies with the turnings of thought-

Yoga-Sutra
(first four lines)

the oppressive humidity has finally lifted here in the Northeast ........... it was like grow gills or wither weather

I'm going to go run the stairs at the Empire State Plaza tonight
