Month 7 week 3 Everywhere I look, I always see triangles. To me, it is spiritual because I always think the trinity and the triple Goddesses. I believe I keep seeing triangles because of my spiritual journey.

Month 7 week 4: What do the "Mists of Mannanon mean to you? Have you experienced it? To me, it means achieving enlightenment. I haven't experienced it yet. If Earth represents the powers of chaos and sky represents the powers of order, what would be the perfect balance between these powers? I think water would be a perfect balance because, like the earth, the oceans can be chaotic, but like sky can insure order. What two opposing forces need balancing in your life? Probably, patience and sadness. What ways have you found while in Druidry to balance the four quarters within yourself? By walking, meditating, and reading What parts of the teaching resonate your true self? Which ones do not? I cannot really answer this question. I'm still trying to find my true self. Do you feel druidry is right for you? Why/why not? Yes, I do because after reading about druidry, I have found that I have always believed in the teachings. What does magic mean to you? Performing rituals and meditating. What does the Otherworld mean to you? A realm beyond our human comprehension. What are your own personal feelings about the concept of immortality? I am a reincarnationist. I also believe the Gods and Goddesses will judge us based on our karma.

Week one responses What places in nature inspire you? I like areas that have a great mass area of trees, that have long walk ways that sit next to rivers, or creeks.
Do you have a favorite outdoor place? Why? My favorite place, as of now, is a backwood area located in Eighties, Al near a park. Because of times of when I was stressed or Angry, I would literally run full sprint into those woods, & by the time I entered a wide clearing in the area & lifted my head toward the sky, I was calm again & ready to go back & face. whatever issue that ran me into that area in the first place.
How does nature inspire you? Nature inspires me artistically, I love to draw and write some stories that involve mythical beasts and other forest kin. It also inspires me physically, I love e feeling of running through the woods as if it were a great forest ready to be explored.

Week 1
1. What places in nature inspire you? All places in nature inspire me. I feel like that nature is divine in all aspects. The trees themselves have a divine spirit that connects us all to the world we live in. I am most inspired by the mountains. Their majestic ability to stand against the elements of time and reaching towards the sky. I feel that the mountains mirror our desire for growth and movement toward the enlightenment. Mountains themselves are ever changing because of the elements. They can be harsh and beautiful at the same time. A constant reminder that life has many trials but if we stay strong to our beliefs and our path the we have chosen for ourselves, we will endure.
2. Do you have a favorite outdoor place? Why? My favorite place is outdoors on a quiet evening. Something about being outdoors right at dusk and seeing the first stars of the evening or the moon coming up over the horizon, has a calming effect on my soul. However, I also like being outdoors in the early morning just before the sun comes on up on a cool grey morning watching those first red rays of the sun break the horizon. Both times are veil times and show the divine beauty of the gods. The earth is our home and every life on this earth is connected by spirit. Hearing the wind "whisper" through the trees allows me to let the mundane stress of daily life float away with it. The salty waters crashing against the shore allows them to be washed away and our aura cleansed again for the new.
3. How does nature inspire you?? Nature is ever enduring and must constantly remain in balance with the rest of the world. It is awe-inspiring to watch the small puffy clouds quickly build into a violent thunderstorm. Don't miss understand me, all life on earth is precious and every life lost is tragic especially when it's a child, but to witness the raw power of a thunderstorm or a tornado inspires me. Why? because it shows me that we can all tap into that raw power and make positive changes in the world around us. The aftermath of a violent thunderstorm or tornado is most often tragic, but there has never been one that hasn't effected some kind of change in path that it has chosen to take. We as humans can be that "storm" in essence by effecting change in the way we view the natural world around us. We are the only creature on the earth that seeks to pollute our drinking water and the air we breath, which in essence effects everything in the natural world around us. The inspiration comes from the knowledge that once we stop killing the world around us, nature herself will recover and take back its natural balance.
