Talking to Krishna

Random observation:
Well, it's no longer a myth. They have pictures. And gods damn if Suri Cruise is not a beautiful baby. Tom Cruise may be insane, but he is quite handsome, and he has produced one heck of a pretty child.

Health stuff:
I feel run over by a truck. With a HEMI engine. This is vicious. I know I'm in the middle of that monthly female time, but it usually doesn't take a sledgehammer to my entire body. My knees feel beaten and raw. Thank the gods for MSM pills and MSM lotion. Because I have three weeks at work alone and I cannot afford to be badly hurt or ill.
Also, it could be allergies. I hear the pollen is violent around this time.

Dreams:
Krishna had been at Tuesday night's bonfire, but he'd been quiet. I don't think he drinks beer. I chatted with him in last night's dream, after the fire had worn down and all the other gods went home. We drank something made with honey, milk and spices. He told me to call him if I ever needed help. A really sweet deity. He's unbelievably tranquil and carries around a huge, gorgeous lotus blossom. His skin is really blue. It shifts from dark sky to cobalt. Sometimes there is purple in it.
Check out this picture. It's beautiful. That's his foster mother Yasoda.

I wish I wasn't so horribly horribly tired.
I need more sitting-down yoga exercises.

You might be a god

"You got to understand the god thing. It's not magic. It's about being you, but the you that people believe in. It's about being the concentrated, magnified, essence of you. It's about becoming thunder, or the power of a running horse, or wisdom. You take all the belief and become bigger, cooler, more than human. You crystallize. And then one day they forget about you, and they don't believe in you, and they don't sacrifice, and they don't care..."
--Neil Gaiman, American Gods (Loki to Shadow, Chapter 14)

Some people read a book one day, and that book changes their lives in some small way or in a big way or in a hundred very little ways. And they never put that book down in their minds.
American Gods is that book for me.

I see gods everywhere. I see them outside and inside and in between. I believe in the existence of every single one of them. It doesn't mean I worship all of them, or even really acknowledge all of them, or truly Believe In Them, but I believe that they exist.
Would you like to know what I truly believe God is, God with a capital Gee? I believe that God is everything and anything we want it/him/her/them to be. I believe God is the zenith of human faith, a crystallized form of pure human belief. We created God so that God could create us. That is what gives gods their power. Gods are nothing without humans, but humans are still humans without gods -- however, humans are nothing without belief, and gods are made of belief. Therefore, in turn, humans are nothing without gods. Do you see?
When Athena was born, she sprang full-grown from the head of Zeus. Metaphorically, Zeus might be us and Athena might be God. Gods are born in our minds, they take shape, they grow, they live, and they die. But somewhere in there, they gain power. They gain so much power that they become more than us, bigger than us, better than us. Outside of us. And then they are no longer born of us. They become the universe. We turn to them when we need help because they are the basis of our faith. If the gods made us in their image, we also made them in our image. Ouroborous the snake, eternally biting its own tail. You see?
This is what else I believe: I believe everything was created by The Big Bang and evolution and God and A Great Mind all at the same time. The Prime Consciousness, the Mind that was there before time in the nothingness. It birthed gods and souls and spirits and worlds and stars, and humanity, and everything. Maybe it was science, maybe it was faith, but it was something. But I do not believe in One Big God over all others, I do not believe in Just One And Only One. I believe that all gods came from one source, one Source if you will, but that Source was not a god. It is too big.
I believe that humans believe what they want to believe, and while nobody can agree on anything, it's important to at least understand all sides.

I think Neil Gaiman's book illustrates what I believe very, very well. And I commend, applaud, and congratulate the man for that.
I believe Neil Gaiman is a god (and so is Joss Whedon).

KITTENS!

Kittens!
I actually had to stuff my fist in my mouth to keep from squealing out loud in my office. This is the most adorable kitten video I have ever seen.
