Welcome to Happy Snowflake Dance!

It's my experiment in joyful, marrow-sucking living.
Inspired by George Santayana's poem,
There May Be Chaos Still Around the World

" They threat in vain; the whirlwind cannot awe
A happy snow-flake dancing in the flaw. "


My Mission: a daily journey into Openness.

I hope you'll come along!

Rainbows and Midsummer and Dreams


Well, I asked for sunshine and it came out in the most glorious rainbow just moments ago! I'm looking at a triple rainbow which is dipping down into the city below. It is beyond magnificent! You can't tell by the photo, but in reality, the rainbow looked gianormously HUGE and wide.

My housemate is off to Honduras tonight with a team of about 25 folks from our church, Trinity Episcopal in Portland's NW neighborhood. She'll be back on July 1st.

So much to do between now and July 2nd when I take off. Eeek! Just realized after reading and re-reading travel info that I DO have to re-microchip Sam. In order to enter France, he has to have a 15 digit microchip. The one he already has is only 10 digits and does not meet international, European ISO standards.

I hiked back up the hill from church today in the rain. It was lovely.

And I decided to throw together an impromptu costume party for tomorrow night. Theme is Midsummer Night's Dream. Costume is anything Shakespearean, Roman or Greek god or goddess (think toga), or faerie folk. It will be a small gathering with a few friends, but everyone is welcome. We should be gathering around 8:30pm till ???
I'll light the candles, turn up the hot tub, open the billiard room, and hopefully, as the weather cooperates tomorrow, we'll open all the french doors to the balcony and enjoy the great new city views (thanks to the tree trimming crew which was here yesterday).

Tomorrow promises to be sunny with clear skies for the longest night of the year! Yay! So, if you're in town, drop by for fruit, cheese, and wine, a few lines from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, maybe a solstice dance, and gratitude for a fantabulous summer ahead and new friends!
