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.

A List of Random Gratefulness

1. Riding around in my PT Cruiser convertible with the top down (pollen be damned!)

2. The wonderful people participating in the Sufi Healing Circle for Earth Day, this Sunday (April 20) at 2 pm at Freedom Park in Atlanta (hope you can join us!)

3. Funplex, the new CD of sublimely shallow post-punk party-pop from The B-52’s

4. The graceful way the cat does yoga

5. The intensely green leaves of the giant oak trees in Marietta Square, seen against the deep rich blue of the late-afternoon sky

6. Roman Catholic geckos who would pray the Rosary if only they had opposable thumbs



7. Good friends, good coffee, and good conversation (what more do you need?)

Thanks for sharing this photo. The high resolution version of it is forever lost, as it was on the camera and computer that were both stolen when our house was burglarized yesterday. We are so happy that I got at least this low-rez version online.

Yeah, pollen be damned! I'm riding with my sunroof open too. And I have the house windows open.

I hope your Sufi circle went well today.

...we were burglarized while traveling in the Carribbean. Very invasive feeling. Part of the reason we put an alarm system on our house. When they steal cameras, why can't they at least leave us the memory cards?!
