The Wolf And His Mistress
As I run through the dark, trees whipping past.
Claws shredding earth, fur blown in the wind.
Fangs drenched in blood, my core burns with rage
But just one look from her sooths the savage beast within
I am her pet, her protector and she my mistress.
curled at her feet, I'm honoured to be so close.
I feel her hand upon my muzzle and look up with trust into piercing green eyes.
I'm happy she cares about me, loves me, so rare and honoured am I,
Sworn to protect her from threat or malicious intent
Sworn to make the ultimate sacrifice should I need
Night is my domain, the night my realm
But so as they belong to me, so I am hers and hers alone

This Fragile Heart
I stare each night,
At star filled skies,
I recall the day,
You said good-bye.
I remember how,
It was you and I,
Together, forever,
As days went by.
A missing piece,
Of my fragile heart,
I gave to you,
Right from the start.
And now I weep,
You've gone away,
I miss you more,
Each passing day.
Please tell me why,
You went away?,
Will you please come back,
To me someday?
Please tell me dear,
What I must do,
Is there a way,
To show my love to you,
You own my heart,
You own my all,
I'm yours forever,
I am at your call,
Please my rose,
Come back to me,
and together we can,
be all that we can be,

Imbolc ~ 2nd February
(also known as Candlemas, Oimelc, Imbolc, Brid's Day, Bride's Day)
Colours: White, silver, pale yellow
Symbols: Candles, brides, grain dolly, burrowing animals, ewes.
Deities: Virgin or child Goddesses, Gods as young Men or Boys
IMBOLG (EM-bowl'g) is the Sabbat which honours the Goddess as the waiting bride of the returning Sun God. Before the Nordic influence, it was also the Sabbat in which the Celts saw the sun as being born anew. The modern Irish know this as St. Bridget's Day, St. Bridget being a vaguely disguised, Christianized version of the old Goddess.
Celts would often dress grain dollies, representations made from dried sheaves from the previous harvest, as brides, and set them in a place of honour within their homes. They were usually placed in cradles called Bride's Beds, complete with white gown, and nuts, symbols of male fertility, were placed in with them.
This is also a Sabbat where candles are lit in profusion, often within a wreath, another symbol of the Wheel of the Year. These are symbolic of the heat and light of the returning sun.
Plants and herbs associated with Imbolc are evergreens and willow trees, rosemary, angelica, basil, bay, benzoin, heather, myrrh, clover, dill, and all yellow flowers.
For Imbolc incense, you could make a blend from any of the following scents or simply choose one: basil, myrrh, frankincense, wisteria, jasmine, camphor, cinnamon, and lotus.
At Imbolg the spark of light at Yule grows into a flame to warm the lands. The trees are beginning to bloom and this is a time that the Goddess wears the robes of the Maiden.
Pagans sometimes visit old wishing trees where they tie pieces of fabric as an offering to the Goddess and make a wish.
The maiden Goddess is the Goddess of inspiration, healing, and crafts. She is best known as Brigid though some traditions also recognize her as Aradia or Athena. The God is but a child at this time, Imbolg is a time for banishing the darker things in our lives and to become renewed with spirituality.
"Now I banish winter. Now I welcome spring:
Say farewell to what is dead and greet each living thing.
Now I banish winter. Now I welcome spring."

My love, My rose
If my rose, the moon shines bright upon you
Don’t wonder
I had asked it
To love you, caress you
See you sleep
The night through
If tonight the wind touches you gently
Don’t wake up
I had asked it
To move its fingers
Through your hair
As it passes by
If at dawn the dew shines bright
Think of me
For just a moment
because they are my tears
Which rolled down
As I missed you with all my heart last night -
Car firms get £2.3bn loan package (guess whos paying?)
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has outlined a package of government support for the UK car industry potentially worth up to £2.3bn. The package includes a scheme to unlock £1.3bn of loans from Europe for car manufacturers and major suppliers. He said the government would also guarantee up to £1bn of further loans. But shadow business secretary Ken Clarke said the European loans were announced last year and called the whole package "pretty small beer". Outlining the measures in the House of Lords, Lord Mandelson said the automotive industry was vital to British manufacturing anad at the heart of many regional economies but was "in the frontline of the downturn".
He said the measures would boost the industry and lay "the foundations of its reinvention for a low carbon future". They include guarantees to unlock loans of up to £1.3bn from the European Investment Bank and another £1bn in loans to fund investment in green-friendly vehicles. This industry is not a lame duck and this is no bail out but he said there would be "no blank cheque" and any schemes supported had to provide jobs, develop new technology and processes for the long term and provide value for money.
Regional development agencies and the Technology Strategy Board are to be invited to bring forward new research and development programmes into cleaner engines, lighter cars and "plug-in hybrids". He also said spending on skills training for employees would be boosted to £100m from its current £65m, if there was demand from the industry.
And trade and investment minister Mervyn Davies had been asked to draw up plans to improve access to additional funding for car companies' financing arms. The car industry had to change to succeed in the "new world" and had to be cleaner and greener, Lord Mandelson said.
"This industry is not a lame duck and this is no bail out," he added. Responding in the Commons, shadow business secretary Ken Clarke said the package seemed to be "pretty small beer" compared with stories that had appeared over the weekend. "I'm slightly disappointed. I thought the secretary of state who I am shadowing would produce some new ideas, some dynamite," he said.
"Is it the case that the secretary of state has not produced a bail-out because the Treasury has finally won an argument inside the government and explained to him that they can't afford the kind of support for the industry that was being trailed." The government was "behind the curve" on helping the car industry which he said, as far back as October, ministers had said they stood "ready to help" while the Tories had suggested loan guarantees for the finance arms of car companies in November. "Here we are months later and during that time sales of cars in this country have dropped by half whilst the government dithers," he told MPs. And he said on the "key subject" of getting people who could afford it credit to buy cars - the government had only said it was "looking at steps" to address it. The specific nature of the challenge we face is that credit has dried up at the same time as demand evaporated. "For the rest of the statement I think the car industry will have listened in vain," he said. John Thurso, for the Liberal Democrats, said he had "grave concerns" about whether the package would work and said much had been announced already. "There are a number of worthy crumbs of comfort for the automotive industry but as it has been announced today, it is neither strategic nor comprehensive nor the panacea it was trailed to be," he said. Unite general secretary Derek Simpson told the BBC he was pleased the government had made a start in helping the car industry but questioned whether the loans would be enough. "In the case of the car industry I suspect much more needs to be done," he said.
Jaguar Land Rover and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders welcomed the announcement which they said recognised the strategic importance of the car industry to the British economy but said they would go through the detail with Lord Mandelson on Wednesday. And Stephen Sklaroff, of the Finance and Leasing Association - which represents the motor finance sector, said he looked forward "to early discussions with Mervyn Davies on how best to support all types of lenders to free up credit for new and used cars".
Friends of the Earth welcomed the announcement but said more needed to be done to make sure the car industry was building cars that used less fuel - and providing incentives for people to buy them.

So Not only are Laurel and Hardy gambling £500 billion of Tax payers money on supporting the housing and banking industries, now a further £3.2 billion is being pledged to the European Car Industry, Now I know the news will be going on about the British car industry, let me tell you about the British car Industry
Toyota owned by the Japanese
Honda owned by the Japanese
Nissan Owned by the Japanese
Jaguar Land Rover, owned by the Indians
the 'British' car industry that they are on about is now 'Morgan', Maybach, and 'Bristol', all privately owned, all with healthy Orders, So we, the tax payer are bailing out the European Industry with a multi billion pound turnover and more insulting is the fact that the companies they are on about aren't even British FFS!
Cheers Gordon, close the fucking door on your way out prick! -
How Too-loo-lah, the rainbow, got its colors.
A Story from the Otoe - Otoe
"I shall tell you how Too-loo-lah, the rainbow, got its colors".
The delicate flowers of the Spring Moons bloom, and then they die. Gorgeous blossoms of summer moons live and a little longer and they too die. The riotous shades of autumn flowers flourish and then they are no more. We think they are gone forever-- But, no!! When the rainbow (the Too-loo-lah in our tongue) appears after a shower we see them again, these beautiful flowers of many colors, in the sky. The rainbow is the flowers' Land of the Hereafter."
"That is a beautiful story about beautiful things," said Sharp Claws. "Will you tell us another 'How" story?" "Shall I tell you what the people of my tribe call the tall flower (indigo flower) that grows upon the prairie, and how it got its name?" "Please!" begged Sharp Claws. "It always comes just at the time of the green corn," said Coming Daylight, "to tell us of the approach of the Warm Season. One time an old man stood at the edge of a small cornfield and looked at this flower which was growing nearby.
Suddenly a voice came from the flower, saying, 'Why-nee-yah,' which means in our tongue, 'Indian, go!' 'Why-nee-yah,' it repeated. 'This is the beginning of the Warm Season, and you will soon have roasting ears for your feasts. Go and cultivate that you may have much corn!' The old man almost forgot to do as the flower instructed him, although he finally remembered; and that is why the flower returns every year to remind the people to cultivate their corn and not to stand idle." As the story ended Circling Eagle, the boys' mother, called them in to sleep and she sang for them a little song they loved about the stars:
"One by one
The stars are lighted by the Sun
Before he retires to his lodge for rest.
It is his last duty of the day."
Over and over she sang the song until the Sleep Man had made his noiseless visit to the darkened tipi.

Words
If words were easy to say
would I be the man you think me to be?
Words of love, words of hope
Words are nothing don't you see?
Words are meaningless things
without substance and intent
Then they are just shallow promises made
and hollow promises sent
I wish I could find the words
And back them to the hilt
And show you what you mean to me
and the fortress we have built
Every word would be set in stone
and there for all to see
and I would never let you down
and treasure your trust in me
If I can't find the words my love
just look into my eyes,
a sparkle and a tear for you
As I weep under heavenly skies,
If I can't find the words to say
just look upon my sleeve,
there you'll find your heart, your name
Know you're my reason to believe,
If I can't find the words my dear
wait for my song, please do
and then maybe, you may just see
That I am in love with you.

Why I can never leave you
This feeling so precious, so rare and indescribable
I could never make you understand
Your smile, so perfect, your eyes so lovely
I could never get it through your head
Embrace, so warm I lose myself in your arms
I could never spell it out for you
One kiss, so long it keeps me living through the day
I could never take a picture and show it to you
Your words, so soft and delicate burning with emotion
I could never quite say this to you
Your being inviting me and accepting me for who I am
Now do you see?
Why I can never leave you... -
I am your friend
You may not have ever seen me
But you know that I am here.
You can feel me in your heart
As you enter each new day.
I will always be there for you
I am your friend.
Someone to share the good times
As well as the bad.
I make no judgments by what you say
I just listen with my heart and
Hope to be of help in anyway I can.
I will be there for you now and forever
And always please remember
I am your friend!
