Flashes of Insight

Questions by Ayedo

1. How do you get by spiritually when the world turns cold, icy,
dark, rainy or foggy?

2. Who are your spirit friends?

3. How do you connect with community for spiritual survival?

4. What spirit, deity or animal helps you get by during winter,
helping you find daily pleasure instead of angst as you maneuver
the dimly lit, slippery path in winter’s wake

Thanks so much for posing these provocative questions as I am very much struggling with them myself. I have been quietly acknowledging to myself that I am feeling blue and missing my core of friends all of whom died within a year of each other. I have made other friends but the deep kind don’t come easy.
Being the community Priestess and Shaman doesn’t always help either as all assume that you are fine always.
I rarely if ever get really depressed but I can feel it poking around my edges like a little frost in this cooler time.
So after contemplating these questions, I said to myself, Enough of This and lit my favorite incense in every room and proceeded to go out to feed my beautiful Appaloosa Mare.
I know that I find my deepest peace and sustenance in this Shamanic realm that I co - create under the loving arms of the Grandmother Tree in my White Room (read on…)

5. SAVOR YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE

I want to savor you like chocolate , baby
     So let those flavors flow…
I want to savor you like chocolate mama, so let your body go.
Well, we don’t need to rush…there’s so very much,
     so very much we can share, ooh, yeah…
I want to savor you like chocolate, baby, melting me into you.

Slowly like honey, our flavors blend,
     mocha dark & bittersweet
A taste so sublime I want it all of the time
     Ooh, baby, you’re so sweet.

Well, we can heat it up or play so very cool
Loving you all night is what I want to do
I want to savor you like chocolate so do me a favor…
     be my favorite flavor
Melting all over me, my favorite fantasy.
You into me.  Me into you,  Oh, my Goddess, what we gonna do.

I want to savor you like chocolate, so give me a taste
     there’s no time to waste.
So slowly go down …(I really mean it); Slowly go down…
I ain’t  fooling around, baby baby and slowly go down…with me.
Oh c’mon baby let’s savor it

N’AWLINS ON MY MIND
    Flash Silvermoon c Goddesstunes 2005
[organ driven mournful blues sound]
I
The dead are walkin down the streets of N’Awlins
And I feel their footsteps break night’s silent scream     [2x]
No honkey tonk piano rings out on old Bourbon Street
And the wind howls ghostly through the trees
II
Seems like someone just forgot ’bout the people of N’awlins
When the water comes up there’s no place to go[2x]
I feel the Spirits gatherin out on old Congo Square
And Mamselle Marie Laveau she’s a standin there
[organ solo to afro rhythm drum break]
   Blood mix with mud through the Bayou flood 2x      
  Children in the streets  with not enough to eat
    Gris gris gumboyaya Gris gris gumboyaya [3x]
   Sacred Jambalaya
[these words continue in background under rap]
Children starving in the streets not enough to eat
Not enough to drink  Livin in dirt and stink
No roof over their heads  too many needlessly dead
What could be in their heads to bring the aid so slow
People got no where to go how could they not know
What millions of us knew, but these monied few
just had too much to do ——–oh wade in the water
wade in the water children  wade in the water someone’s in trouble in the waters 2x
           Don’t leave them all alone ]
           Damballah take them home] 2x
  Dancin’ with the Snake,,,Until the levee breaks
Damballah Damballah Damballah Damballah Aweido
                   [3x]
Don’t leave them all alone
Damballah take them  home (read on…)
