Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

I'm an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), in private practice in Marietta, Georgia. I'm an Episcopagan who is involved in the Emergent Christian conversation. My writings on queer spirituality have been published in Whosoever and several other magazines. I live in a house-in-the-woods (Bear's Hermitage) in Marietta with Leonidas (Lenny) and Guy, Mighty Warrior Cats, and way too many books.

Post-Apocalyptic Drivers License


I got my drivers license renewed this morning, since it was due to expire tomorrow on my birthday. Georgia now offers 5-year and 10-year renewal options. I chose the 10-year option, and later I realized how unnecessary that was. My drivers license now expires on my birthday in 2016 – four years after the end of time on December 21, 2012 (according to both Terence McKenna and the ancient Mayan calendar). Oh well. I don’t know if we’ll still be driving cars after the structure of time collapses on that date, but if we are, I’ll have a license.

Thanks for your kind words, Jen! I just spent some time at your wonderful Sea Dancer blog http://celticjenn.blogspot.com/
and I just posted a link to it here, under "Cyberfriends in the Blogosphere."

I'm glad you were so warmly welcomed in the Episcopal church! Many blessings to you as you continue your journey.

Wow, Darrell. Darn good planning, old chap... you'll have current ID. The rest of us, at least the procrastinators like me, might just get bounced into the dark and dismal netherworld of invalid ID people.
