November Quotes
“Cornstalks from last summer’s garden now lean toward the kitchen window, and the November wind goes through them in a shudder. Their thin tassels spread out beseeching fingers, and their long bleached blades flutter like ragged clothing.”

Patheos-Pagan: You Know My Voice
JOHN BECKETT
- The religion I practice is a form of oracular, ecstatic polytheism. Among other things, that means I and many other polytheists (though far from all) experience the Gods for ourselves.

Inner Journey: A HOT TUB FOR THE MIND
“Imagine a hot tub for the mind. That is what meditation is; it can bathe your mind in relaxing thoughts.”
— Eknath Easwaran
With today’s fast pace of life, too many of us don’t have any sense of how it feels to be free of stress. It’s difficult to relax if we have physical pain or irritation, strong negative emotions or scattered, worrisome thoughts.
The practice of meditation helps us find the peace within that is so elusive in our outer world.
“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths, or the turning inwards in prayer for five short minutes.”
— Etty Hillesum

With deep pride,

Expectations
“I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”
-Helen Keller
The expectations we set for ourselves are often higher, and more unrealistic, than the expectations we have for anything else. Why are we so hard on ourselves? We are here for a purpose, and there are no small purposes. We are learning and growing every day. We are doing the best we can. Good job!
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Chariot
It may start out as an ordinary day but a situation may arise that uncovers talents that you had no clue you had. Be adaptable and be willing to say, “Yes, I’ll give that a try,” rather than automatically saying, “Well I’m not sure. I’ve never done that before.” Be positive, optimistic, and sure of yourself. It’s the perfect day to learn something useful and profitable as well as exciting.
