Equinox
>> Monday, September 22, 2008
I look forward to
Burnished Golds and Cranberry Siennas.
Coppery Rusts
That meld with fading Greens -
An artist’s masterpiece
Upon a beautiful canvas.
Crisp air
Lightly laced with
Cinnamon and apples
Evoking memories of years gone by.
The heady scent of seasoned firewood.
As it burns.
Glowing .
The ashes ignite as the air fans it coyly.
Seductive.
Enticing .
Curling its smokey tendrils through the glowing embers.
Caressing.
Much like fingers through a lover’s hair.
It’s sudden crackle, which sends lively sparks dancing thru the air
like fireflies in a mating ritual
And then perish so suddenly.
A sacrificial offering
to the Gods of the Equinox.
I too am a canvas.
My successes and failures -
The brushes.
My wants, desires, and needs -
The paint.
My relationships –
The Colors.
Burnished Golds and Coppery Rusts
Swirl into the cranberry siennas of my life.
My own Equinox.

Footnote:
The Autumn Equinox, for the Northern Hemisphere,
begins today, September 22 at 11:44 AM, EST.
The Photo above is one that I took this past Saturday while visiting a few wineries in
The Fingerlakes. These grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, and this photo was taken at Knapp Winery on Beautiful Cayuga Lake. You can see many more very beautiful photos of these grapes on my photo blog.
As you can see, the grapes are almost ready to harvest. The Autumn time is not only very busy for the many wineries there, it's also a very beautiful time of year to visit.

Bacchus
>> Tuesday, September 09, 2008
Name: Bacchus, The Roman God of Wine.
Also known as Dionysus, The Greek God of Wine.
He is the patron deity of agriculture and the theatre. He was also known as the Liberator, freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine.The divine mission of Bacchus/Dionysus was to mingle the music of the aulos and to bring an end to care and worry. Scholars have discussed Dionysus' relationship to the "cult of the souls" and his ability to preside over communication between the living and the dead.
In Greek mythology Dionysus is made to be a son of Zeus and Semele; other versions of the myth contend that he is a son of Zeus and Persephone.

I like: to be showered with attention. Why are you standing there, human?
Pet me Damn it!
I don't like: to be ignored. Like, it *means* something when I push my cold wet nose in your hand. DUH!!!!
My superpower(s) are: The ability to knit you a sweater with matching scarf, hat, and mittens, using only the hair that I cough up and leave as my daily gift to you.
Alternate Superpower: The ability to turn any earring into mesmorizing prey, to be purposefully stalked and knocked off dresser and toyed with until permenantly lost or until my owner (read: slave) shoos me away.
My motto is: "Pet me human. Now....Or I rub my cold wet nose on your hand again."
Alternate motto: "If I can reach it, it's a toy."
2nd Alternate: "Nothing good ever came out of a squirt bottle."
Signed,
