August Quotes
“And where have you been, my Mary,
And where you been from me?”
“I’ve been to the top of the Caldon Low,
The midsummer night to see!”
“And what did you see, my Mary,
All up on the Caldon Low?”
“I saw the glad sunshine come down,
And I saw the merry winds blow.”
“And what did you hear, my Mary,
All up on the Caldon Hill?”
“I heard the drops of the water made,
And the ears of the green corn fill.”
“Oh! tell me all, my Mary –
All, all that ever you know;
For you must have seen the fairies
Last night on the Caldon Low.”
Mary Howitt, The Fairies of Caldon Low

Spirit Library: The Catnip Caper
Cheryl Richardson
In the morning when I come downstairs I let our cats, Wednesday and Berty, out of their room as I get ready to feed them. Rather than risk chronic back and shoulder problems, something we struggled with after letting Poupon sleep in our bed, we’ve done things differently with these two. Our new kids spend the night together downstairs and during the day they have the run of the house

EarthSky News: August full moon – a supermoon – on August 11-12
The full moon overnight on August 11-12 is the last full supermoon of 2022. As luck would have it, it falls at the peak of 2022’s Perseid meteor shower.
How to see the supermoon
Where and when to look in 2022: Look for the bright, round moon in the east at sunset on August 11. It’s highest in the sky around midnight. Conversely, it’s low in the west before sunrise.

Patheos-Pagan: Why I Still Call Myself Pagan

Inner Journey:
DIRECT YOUR EVOLUTION
“Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life.”
— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
Unlike other species, human beings can monitor our own evolutionary process. Better yet, we have the awareness and power to design our evolutionary path.
As creators, we are not limited to evolving through tiny, incremental steps. With our potent imaginations, we can design and manifest dramatic, profound change. How remarkable! What an awesome responsibility. What fun!
Our challenge is to break free of our present concept of reality to create brand new dreams that will bring the ideal to life.
“There is only one thing more powerful than all the armies of the world, that is an idea whose time has come.”
— Victor Hugo
“We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today’s Recipe: Huli Huli Chicken
‘Huli Huli Chicken’ (turn, turn) was invented by Ernest Morgado when he cooked teriyaki chicken for a group of farmers in 1955. This has been a Hawaiian staple with sticky rice ever since. This is my family’s version of Huli Huli Chicken. Use aji mirin (sweet rice wine) in place of sherry if desired.

Daily Wisdom
August 2022
Enthusiasm
“The measure of an enthusiasm must be taken between interesting events. It is between bites that the lukewarm angler loses heart.”
-Edwin Way Teale
Can’t you just picture this scenario? A fisherman who LOVES to fish doesn’t just love those moments when he actually lands one – he loves the whole process. Similarly, an actor with an enthusiasm for his craft is just as happy doing a part in a community theatre play as he would be starring in a feature film. What makes for an “interesting event?” What compels us to hang in there? It’s the whole process that generates enthusiasm when we truly love to do what we do.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com
