Saddle up

I actually do this in real life now.

hello, open beings!

"Still today I am only counting on what comes of my own openness, my eagerness to wander in search of everything, which I am confident, keeps me in mysterious communication with other open beings, as if we were suddenly called to assemble. I would like my life to leave after it no other murmur than that of a watchman's song, of a song to while away the waiting. Independent of what happens and what does not happen, the wait itself is magnificent"

-Andre Breton, Mad Love

Sugar Wranglin'

I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'Cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town

Happy Thanksgiving

starwranglers!

I wrangled Mully and Greggles over to my house. Should be a good time :)

Some pictures

of a girl and her horse.

So finally...

mully has a handler, whose primary job is to document the life and times of a certain new equine-acquisition.
There WILL be pictures...and not just ones from the new Lifetime series "Hot Men on Horseback: Firemen"

This Horse

likes to make friends wherever he goes.

the great joy and mystery of life

we get to try things things on for size

we get to change courses

we get to invent ourselves

we get to make tremendous blunders

we get to pull a triumph out of a pile of shit

we get to make dinner

we get to do nothing

as long as we are living

we get all this

Pablo Neruda says...

"Later, when stars
opened out to the cold,
I opened the door.
Night:
on an ocean
of galloping hooves."

How do you mend a broken heart?

i'm not exactly sure, but i have a couple of ideas that i might just try out....

Would anyone like to go

to 1960's London with me?

Of all the thrift shoppes in all the world

she had to walk into mine....
I remember looking up as I was doing something and I said
Oh, you're here.

We need to break our own glass ceilings

so that we can get to the stars we're trying to wrangle.
I am trying to mentally wrangle a horse for mully.

Any and all life inspiration welcome.

about making your own luck

can you collage it together?
I'm glad the wranglin' is happening again. I need to figure out how to stop playing catch-up with my life and just let it start. T minus 3 weeks until I'm back in the thrift shop.

You make your own luck.

There are no worries

and no need of all this concern.

it may be the case that

we are more afraid of realizing our dreams than not realizing them.

If an idea is foolish to begin with...

is there any prudent time to make it happen?

If desire is strong

logistics will melt away.

Meet Blues King (aka Elvis.)

I sure do like carrots!

sticks? not so fond of those.

Before the Stars Came Out: Ennis, MT

This May Come as Some Surprise, but the Savers in Sioux Falls Has the Best Piped-in Music

People that come together/
and people that fall apart
Nothing can stop us now/
cuz we are all made of stars

One of my strange ambitions.....

I have a certain fondness for the mule. Here are 2 that are really like. The top picture is of Elsie Gundo, she lives in Texas. I love her sturdy shape and huge head. The other mule is Magpie, she lives in Florida. She has an adorable burro-y look.

wranglin' advice

and so go around treating the most trivial matters with the upmost of care and concern, and the matters of great importance with none.

Saturn + Venus = Time to Get Real, Girl

(October 13, 2009) - Now, typically I ain't one to adhere to astrology, but I can enjoy arbitrarily defining life's more miasmic moments and challenging aeons using the same astronomical tools as the next ancient Babylonian, Roman, Mayan, or what-have-you guy.

And so it is interesting to me that the two planets, Saturn and Venus, will appear only a half degree apart in an early Tuesday morning sky come mid-October. So, in addition to offering the exquisitive and graceful view afforded by conjunctions of sharp, bright, relatively close objets d'celeste, it may even be useful to note that Saturn is associated in astrology with the principles of limitation, restrictions, boundaries, practicality and reality, crystallizing and structures. Saturn governs ambition, career, authority and hierarchy, and conforming social structures. It concerns a person's sense of duty, discipline and responsibility, and their physical and emotional endurance during hardships. Saturn is also considered to represent the part of a person concerned with long-term planning. "The Return of Saturn" is said to mark significant events in one's life.

Of course, you already knew that Venus is connected variously to love, romance, fertility, and the personification of womanhood. And "love" or "fertility" do not necessarily have fixed definition. Also, Venus is known as the bearer of light and the bringer of darkness, the latter of which can be translated into the Latin as "Lucifer" -- ya know, the one what got cast out of them thar' heavens? Ishtar, Isis, or Aphrodite -- regardless of which traditional lore one may decide to attach to the planet, to consider its conflux with Saturn with all of its connotations can be an exercise in identifying one's own power to decide to begin or end (or to make the decision to postpone decision-making) one's relationships with the Nouns of Life, ie, people, places, things, or ideas.

we are lackin'

in wranglin'

Shameless advertising....

1. Boomer is fabulous.
2. Starting up the new travel blog.
3. Trying to revive all blog action.

because I heard you know lots about squirrels...

For Boomer:

Where do squirrels sleep at night...and what/where is their scat?

Inquiring minds need to know (Molly and Victoria).

Star-Wranglin' Tiny Elvis Style

Despite a vocal range of 2 1/2 octaves and nearly perfect pitch, Elvis was perfectly willing to sing off-key when he felt the song required it. Those off key notes were art.
-a musician who worked with Elvis made this remark shortly after his death.

My INAUGURAL post.

"Because the world is turning faster now than ever before..." and we shouldn't miss the point of the whole thing.

(Well...at least that's what some country singer professed over the air waves in the thrift shop. Actual speed ~1000mph)
