I just had a thought yesterday, and being that I'm a tad Biblical God unfriendly, you may want to avoid this rant...
So... here we go... rant ahead. You have been warned...
It occurred to me as I was considering the pro-choice/pro-life arguments.
Me: "So, what, then... miscarriages are Divine abortions?"
Imaginary church-goer: "God is sovereign. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away." (Seriously, I was told this once by a Christian woman who had just suffered a miscarriage.)
Me: "I see. So, what you're saying is, God allowed you to conceive a
child, then thought better of it, hence making a mistake, so he killed
off the fetus?"
Imaginary church-goer: *stares at me blankly*.
End rant.
Yeah, I know, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see what people
wanted to add or argue. I'm stirring up the shit-storm with this, but, I
felt it needed to be addressed. I'm really curious as to how others
would see this 'discussion' played out. I'm open to other ideas.
Have a nice day.

This movie was made over 30 years ago, has to be, I don't know the actor who gave this tremendous monologue, and I don't know the year the film was released, but it's called "The Guardians". This is AMAZING!
So much of what he spoke about, especially the last minute, is what I want to learn through Shamanism. I cannot help but believe that there IS hope. My dreams, my lessons these last few months have been to just 'listen'. My raven spoke to me. "See it from all angles and just listen." In a book I was reading today... 'Just listen'. Jimmy Page, being my spiritual mentor, albeit his unknowing that, when listening to his music, my spirit was able to latch onto hope when I was flailing during chemo therapy. When asked who his favorite musician was, Robert Plant replied: "Jimmy Page. Just listen." A new language is forming, the language of the heart. It IS happening now. Just... listen.
