Walking Ix (ee`sh):
In the Mayan Oracle, Ix represents "integrity, heart-knowing, alignment with divine will, magician, shaman, jaguar, night seer, priest, torch bearer, magic." When I asked the Oracle what Star-Glyph represented my purpose in this website, Ix was the answer.
Holding fast to the qualities of Ix, this journal chronicles my spiritual path. On the path, I will occasionally write organized essays on spiritual subjects, those will appear under Pieces below.

another month gone
I let another month pass without posting my weekly reports. There has been some progess made on clearing the clutter in my life. At the APEX bazaar on Monday, we managed to sell two books and an IPP and give away a number of other things. We brought home about half of what we took, and with an added book that someone gave me. We have three or four boxes/crates of books and other items to give away/sell as well as a closet full of old electronics to give away (not worth the effort to try sell them as old as they are). boy has been clearing stuff out of the kitchen that he can't eat due to his allergies or that we don't want and giving them to neighbors if they are still good. We bought a DVD recorder yesterday and that should help us replace several decades worth of video tape with smaller, higher quality DVDs -- and, yes, I do plan to dump the stuff I never watched after taping it, so there will be less of a library, not just a physically smaller library. I'm also going to pull my CD collection and identify the actual songs I like so that boy can burn some "various artist" CDs and I can give away/sell the originals.
I had hoped to be further along in the clearing/organizing process. I just keep reminding myself that it is a process, not a one-time fix-it project. As long as I continue to make progress, no matter how small, I'm meeting my goal. I have no deadlines, no expectations, just a plan of what the next step will be when I complete this one. I am going to stop trying to record it here. The weekly reports helped me get started, but now that I am moving forward, it is a burden. Clearing the clutter includes habits, behaviors, and expectations/promises as much as it means the physical junk in my living environment. So I am letting go of that as well.
