The good stuff:

SCA & medieval history
scrappin' & carousing
anything with fur & teeth
chaotic harmony
juxtapositions
getting lost
my friends
unabashed laughter
mayhem & entropy
deep pathos and feeling
color and sound
creative fits
nights under starlight
the smell of rosemary
contemplative stillness
gentle thinking spirits
child-like awareness
vivacity

Yay! People!

about me

Some know me as Jessica, some as Cassandra. Regardless, it is best to be cautious around harpies.

My philosophy on life:
The sole purpose of life is the experience of living.

I am a student of life. Nothing more. I am flawed and filled with icky inconsistencies. Anais Nin once said "Perfection is static." I want nothing of perfection. I want to live, learn and grow. Give me honest people who are honest with themselves, even about their flaws and little idiosyncratic ways, and we shall wallow together in the beautiful stickyness that is human nature.

I'm also on myspace: www.myspace.com/anjouleme

Giving thanks

The sun will rise
tomorrow
or perhaps
it won't.
Regardless,
its first rays
within my eyes,
I thanked the sun
for shining
on you and I
just as we are
today.

Spring Caprice

Ah, Spring,
you devilish scamp!
You’ve enwrapped me with your rapture.
Every new bud,
every bloom evidenced,
brings a joyous smile to my face.
I am a child again.
I spin ‘neath the dogwoods
winding their scent to me,
lifting my eyes
to watch blossoms
kaleidoscope against the sky,
with no fear,
. . . . .no hope -
. . . . . . . . just pure joy
. . . . . . . . . . . . and laughter.

Love comes easy
‘neath the dogwoods.

Ding ding ding

So we went and saw "Forbidden Kingdom" yesterday. It's the movie with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, both incredible talents in their field. Their fluidity and flexibility is absolutely amazing to me. There is a fight scene between the two of them that had me grinning from ear to ear the entire time. The choreography was fabulous and though the fight lasted a good long while, I just didn't want it to end. I really enjoyed watching every movement and counter-movement. Towards the end of the fig... read more

Under the Mango Tree by Mayadhar Mansingh

A beautiful Indian poem I want to retain. Translated from Oriya by the poet

Under the Mango Tree
by Mayadhar Mansingh

Under the mango tree during that tryst,
When the bangle-bedecked arms of the sweet one
Entwined round my neck, and
Pressed me to her bosom in balmy embraces,
The very moonlit night appeared cheered up
With the touch of the zephyr that blew soft,
And while a wild bird on the wing was piping a melodious note.
The very earth looked mystic... read more
