		<description><![CDATA[So I was in shrine early this morning, planning out my day, recounting how I was going to do this, that, and the other thing.
&#8230;and dance, said the little voice in the back of my mind.
Mrrr, I thought, but I already have a lot to do, and it&#8217;s a long way to go to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday morning, I heard my Mother&#8217;s voice for the first time.
Usually when I &#8220;hear&#8221; Bast, what comes through is an impulse or a knowing that immediately is translated into words inside my head by what I call the &#8220;Bast voice,&#8221; which is not unlike the inner voices that belong to my various fiction characters. While [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My little brook is in full flood after all the rains. I love the waters of spring: the surging, overflowing streams; the springs that nourish the first searingly green new growth; the rainpools swallowing the fields, gray sheets mirroring the sky, their surfaces riffled by the passing winds, and in their depths the submerged grasses [...]]]></description>

In the wake of last weekend&#8217;s nor&#8217;easter, suddenly the daffodils have sprung up! It&#8217;ll be a while yet until they bloom, but not too much longer. And yesterday as I was out walking at lunchtime, there was the most amazing fragrance by the corner of the library. It stopped me right in my tracks and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The snow crocuses are blooming, gold, pale blue, white, and lavender on the southern slope of the lawn. The willows are showing the first tinge of yellow-green along the lake shore. The earliest hints of spring that I mentioned in my last post have become more than mere hints as warmth settles over the land. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an interesting piece. The museum&#8217;s Web page says that it&#8217;s a triad including Bast, while the label in the photo calls it &#8220;Seated Figures of Bast.&#8221; Is it Bast and two other lionness-headed Goddesses? And if so, who are They? Or is it supposed to be three different manifestations of Bast? Or, since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes when life seems too busy, when it seems as though there&#8217;s so much to do and so few hours in which to do it, this anxious and rebellious small voice pipes up to protest spending time in shrine. So it was at the end of last week. I was sitting before Bast&#8217;s icon, having [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went down to the lake at lunchtime yesterday, to sit and watch the reflections of the willows, the sun, and the passing clouds, to drop leaves into the water and watch them turn in the slow, eddying currents.
Sometimes patience is so hard. Taking time is so hard. It seems as if it should be [...]]]></description>

The golden rain trees around the fountain plaza are starting to turn, shedding their first delicate yellow leaves, living up to their name. This morning was wrapped in gray, a promise of drizzle, a heavy overcast that intensified even the smallest spots [...]]]></description>

Actually, the weather has been quite cooperative in general over the last week or so: rain when I need to be indoors working on a freelance assignment, sun when it&#8217;s time to work outside. (And rain again when I&#8217;ve worked more than enough [...]]]></description>
