The purpose of this blog is to share the beauty of the world and of humanity; and to explore the intense, vast holiness of living. I wish to share world religions and beliefs, with an emphasis on my personal faith: Earth Magic and Catholicism. I also plan to explore aspects of art, film, and music that are particularly beautiful and life-enhancing. Look for spells, prayers, charms, legends, crafts, links, and more. ~ Lily

Link to 'Macomb Guild of Writers'
Although our blog is almost empty as of now, we will soon be filling it with our poetry, stories, and Guild adventures!
I love this group, this beautiful circle of ladies (no men as yet, save our professor). I have gathered so much motivation and inspiration from them. I love connecting with the people who, like me, are passionate about their craft and who are eager to learn more and more and more!

Youth and Poetry in "Bright Star"
"I think young people are probably more poetically inclined. I think they ... really want to connect. Connection is what being alive is, and they want to feel sane and create a sense of themselves and intimacy with others ... which is what Keats and his friends were doing, too, with letters however. My advice ...would be exactly the same ... its just to educate yourself [and] really build up your enthusiasm so that it's higher than your fear."
~ Jane Campion, writer and director
