The Energy Avenger

Only a very, very few people who know me would know that the image of the 'crystal brass knuckles' expressed in the photo above, with the fist adorned by a beautiful silver ring with crystals on top, should be tattooed on my chest or at very least, be worn by me daily on a t-shirt. I discovered a long time ago that the power of perception and insight fuelling action has a greater impact pound for cosmic square inch than any other form of worldly interaction or engagement. In other words, I'm a lover, not a fighter.  When I found this beauty designed by Debra Baxter on The Jealous Curator (see earlier post) I laughed out loud.

Good Blog Name: The Jealous Curator

I'm just doing a little plug for the Jealous Curator. I can't tell you how much outright jealousy I have had for all the magnificence that surrounds me relative to beauty in all its forms and those (both animate and inanimate) who can express it so wildly and loudly... so good for you, Jealous Curator, whoever you are. My sentiments EXACTLY.

Wallpaper. It was popular when I was growing up. Most of it in my southern home was some form of subtle stripes and little flowers. Not too exciting really. I'm still not a huge fan of it, but the best wallpaper usage I have ever personally seen was in my husband's parent's home years ago. This paper was wild and it worked-- selected in the late sixties or so, it was heavily patterned with a lot of color. My mother-in-law had it on her ceilings in some of the rooms. Now that is BOLD.

Wall paper just seems like a BIG commitment somehow. I guess it is not in my mutable nature to live with something so certain.
