It is almost Samhain (Sow-win'), not to mention the week of my favorite musician's birthday (this coming Sat, the 25th).
To celebrate the arrival of both dates, I decided to go hunting on StumbleUpon for sites that help define who I am as a practitioner of peace, mercy and justice for all--with a Pagan flavor, that is. Both Jon Anderson and my Druidic path have deepened my affection for the Mother Planet, if it is possible to extend the depths of my already lifelong passion towards keeping this planet livable for the next seven generations beyond me.
Here's one site I found: a bunch of posters dedicated to raising the awareness of everyone regarding human rights and the environment.
And another: A gorgeous photo of a whale!
...*sighs*...that reminds me...still want to get "Tales of Topographic Oceans" by Yes. Some people think it's too long, too out there, or whatever...but as long as it's about this beautiful blue planet I love--and as long as Jon Anderson's involved...the naysayers can just go play in some other sandbox. :-P
BB,
Rev. Kat ^.^

You will like "Revealing Science of God", which is my favorite on TFTO. That album is usually thought of as their best by die hard fans, but you will have to listen to it a while to let it grow on you.
It is actually about Indian mystacism- Anderson states that before a concert he was "leafing through" a copy of Yogananda's Autobiography when he was "caught up" in a footnote describing the Indian shastric scriptures. He "had been searching for a theme for a large scale composition" and saw the possibility of constructing a four-movement work around the four-class shastras, "so positive in character" were they to him.
