In the November issue of Tickle Spot
you can enjoy these images of the MOMMY Goddess-
Goddess Giver of Teddy Bears, Storyteller Goddess,
and more. Her playful side is not often depicted
TICKLE SPOT is taking care of that open nitch
in the chronicaling of the Goddess. She is the one
of delight.She is the one of JOY. She is the one
who loves us,just loves us. And we are the
TICKLE SPOT of a delighted MOMMY Goddess.
The next selection puts and explaination to the name "Tickle Spot". It is an excerpt from the poem "Does Mother Nature have a tickle spot?" I poesed this question to the Universe only as a lark. Then in a meditation this answer came to me. |
Does Mother Earth have a tickle spot?
......... Then, as I began to write I'd heard the Mother whispering.
What place upon your watery globe so round
Her answer made me shake
We are all the tickle spots |
A CHOICE FOR THE CREATIVE IMAGINATION - a craft
SILLY CROSS STITCH CRAFT
Instructions |
A MOVEMENT CHOICE A DANCE (Read this like you're calling a Square Dance)
There's a dance called
Lift one leg
Claim your space like the dogs |
"Dancing Over the Line"
There was actually a point in time
when the change happened, when I felt
fully "in the Sacred Clown expression".
Here's the story.
The lullaby CD was playing the rousing
square dance sound of "Dance little
Baby", sung by Jody Collins. I twirled
and stomped and whirled around till
I fell on he floor laughing, as the
song danced me. |
JOY Wisdom
from 10 Ways to Renew your Happiness
and Reclaim your Inner Child
by Lenora Poppa
1) Walk around in public, grinning like a Cheshire cat. Smiles not only help you feel better but are contegious. (And make other people wonder what you're up to.)
from "Eating My Way Home" by Robyn Posen
" Through this practice, I have learned enormous trust in my body-knowings and in my emotional responses. I have learned that when I give myself safe space in which to be feeling, raging , howling, crying, vegetating or sleeping when I needed that, it never goes on forever. Only when I keep trying to control and transcend these emotions, do they seem to become overwhelming and bottomless. I have learned that peace, serenity, graciousness and true generosity of spirit are born out of a compassionate commitment to take loving good care of one's own being, first."
A SOUND and MOVEMENT CHOICE-
thoughts about vibration
EYE MUSIC
by Heart Dancer
Sound and movement are so similar.
What is a movement but a vibration
enlarged and put into easily viewed
matter? So, what does a movement
"sound" like? Maybe it's so slow that
our ears don't percieve it. Maybe
it's music to the eyes. Maybe all
things that we see are music whose sounds
escape the ears and are put into
music by the eyes. Maybe the the music
that the eyes see is just as symbolic and
meaningful as the imagery put
into a poem. Maybe beauty is the poetic
music that the eyes hear.
SOME CHOICES to give a little LIFE
HOW 'BOUT THIS?
Buy a clown nose for yourself. Use it to
give yourself a little LIFE when
you need it. A few seconds in a rest
room stall while wearing a clown nose
can bring back chuckle dividends the
rest of the day.
a poem NOW!
Hug me now!
Don't wait till the "fullness of time"
when it eases out of you so perfectly.
Hug me now - hard.
A CROSS CULTURAL EXPRESSION CHOICE
THE FLESH RAINBOW BELT
- Shamanic Craft
As you put the pieces for the belt
together they become one piece.
It's possible that the experience of
doing this can give you an awareness
that you and I who are made of many we,
the Earthling people are "one
piece" too, with all our diverse
combinations of National and Ethnic
backrounds. And since TICKLE SPOT
celebrates we who are of mixed cultures,
let's have some fun.
