nebris~First, I quote from Addendum D [Calendar for A New Matriarchy]:
“Today is The Most Important Date, The Temple's actual birthday, August 30th, 2004. On that day, late in the afternoon, I first set the words The Temple of The Pentavalent upon paper and then wrote a brief outline of what it could become. I still have that thin spiral notebook.
As I have said in The Explanation, the idea for a 'house of women' had been put forth to me back in the previous March by Kat K, my oldest friend and the Sister who began this Path with me when were teenagers.
Note that I do not include my own birthday here. I am merely a vehicle for this Work. Today shall become a Festival Day, the day that celebrates not the birth of the guide, but The Birth of this New Matriarchy.
Today marks The Birth of Our Future.
Note: In 2004, August 30th was the 243rd calendar day, as '04 was Leap Year. So while the present calendar is in use, we shall use 8/30, which is usually the 242nd calendar day, as The Temple's Birthday Festival.”
So, it seems I got the Matriarchal date wrong. *sigh* Today is 7th Novembria, not the 8th as I had originally calculated, at least for this [leap] year. Oh well, that baby is still a 'work in progress', which is also why this is a two day festival. That covers all our bases.
Anyway, we haven't really planned an 'festivities' as such. At the present moment we're just enjoying having a roof over our heads. We didn't do anything for my sixtieth birthday either.
For this, the ninth year of The Temple – Nine being the Number of Completion – I suppose a good goal would to complete The Explanation. I'm in no shape to really think about Recruiting and have nowhere to place new Sisters anyway. There is frustration and a sense of failure around that..and I simply need to fucking get over it and write. The Temple needs its Holy Book!
I had a whole bunch more to rant about, but I'm probably more sick of hearing that than y'all are. It does run in my head after all.
Probably be a Good Thing to find the headset for my voice activated writing program, eh?
And that's about that...
...Goddess Fuck that was a depressing post...
