In the Service of Her Majesty The Queen

I hope you had a good day and that the night followed suit.

Clear skies most of the day for the first time in a long time, seems like.

Barely coming out of the dark moon, minutes ago. This one seems
to have been hard all the way around. Craziness at work, clients
angry, staff stressed. Me, too.

The 2nd person they hired to take over my old position was fired,
25 minutes after I started training her. One more to go, and it's
back to me if she doesn't work out. I am not at all happy about
this.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep soundly and deep,
wake up in the morning
rested and smile.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

The Lady of Mercy

I burn the Dragon's Blood
at the east and the west

I place the black crystal
heart-close between my breasts

the Jade that links to the
Lady is on my wrist

my body lies both north
and south upon my bed

I draw the red silk up
over me to my head

the water on my face I
take with a finger tip

taste the salt as I annoint
my forehead, then my lips

I call the Lady of Mercy
I call the Lady of Mercy
I call the Lady of Mercy

I give up I say
I give up I say
I give you up I cry

and that which was oh so bright
held tight in the dark night

it went away

 

I hope your day went well and that you had a good night.

Cloudy skies again, and rain.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

May you receive blessings
upon you while you sleep,
sleep well and wake up
tomorrow with no pain
in your heart.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day. I hope the night is good, as well.

Another overcast day with periodic thunderstorms. The drift
from Hurricane Bill, I expect...yesterday too, evidently.

It is quiet outside.


To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep where it is warm
and the cold is kept at bay.

Sleep where there is light
that will keep the dark away.

Wake up with a smile
to jump start a better day.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

Ahhhh, I hope you had a good day.

Blessings bring light to your night.

Cloudy again today, but broken clouds
and not so much rain. There was actually
some blue sky for awhile. The early night
felt cooler, too.

There were 3 frogs on the front of the
house tonight.

I heard the horned owl hooting in one
of the live oaks.

Some of the gods come alive in the
night, I think. You can feel it.


To all who will sleep on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sometimes the light blazes
the brightest at night,
deep inside the dark,
a halo in the heart,
captured in a dream
during sleep. So sleep
well and find it if you can.

Wake up with it still
shining through your smile.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day and that the night has treated you well.

There are a lot of things happening in my life right now,
some good, some...difficult.

Time after time, I keep thinking that I can see the future,
and time after time, I am reminded, sometimes forcibly
reminded, that I cannot. It is hard for me to comprehend
those whose lives seem steady and charted out...my life
has never taken that course, not for as long as I have
memory. Yet, I still persist in thinking I know exactly
how it will go. Hard headed, I guess...or something.

Today, some things, maybe everything, that are
happening do not seem to be things that I have the
power to change. I feel swept up in events, pulled
along by currents, with no forward sight, no paddle.

In truth, I have rarely had the power to make changes
in where my life goes, so this should not feel like
something new...but it does.

When I have the chance, I watch the birds, the lizards,
the frogs and think that I am very much like them. I
do not know if this is good or bad.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sink into sleep, warmly wrapped,
safe in the light. Wake up in the
morning still wrapped in light.

G'Night.

 

I hope your day and night went well.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep the night through
and wake up in the morning
blessed by the light.

Blessings

G''Night

 

I hope you had a good day and night.

Long day today. Very long.

More rain, all day. No sun.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep well,
in warmth.
Wake up
warm, too.

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day and that the night went well.

Rained most of the day. I drove to work at the front of
a storm, couldn't outrun it, couldn't slow down enough
to let it pass. 45 minutes to work. Then, they tell me
I was taken off the schedule. So I turn back, go home.
Heavy traffic, rush hour, another 45 minutes.

Still. I got the day off.


To all who sleep on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep deep in your dreams
and dream sweet while you
do. Wake up the next morning
laughing.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day and I hope your night has been good.

Rain again today, but dried out enough this afternoon to get my lawn
mowed, at last. Grass was almost knee high.

I went out tonight to the car and scared a bird that was in the loquat
tree. Great amount of wing fluttering and flapping, leaves and branches
rattling together and cheeping. I don't know who was the most spooked,
the bird or me.

It was a good day for me and the night was, too.


To all who sleep on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Unfurl your wings,
fly high, and smile
all day. When it
comes time to fall
into sleep, take the
smile with you.

Wake up the next
morning and shake
out your wings again.

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day. And that your night went well.

No rain today for a change.

I work tomorrow.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the world,

The Nightly Mission:

Sleep well.
Sweet dreams.
have a cheerful morning.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day.
Blessings from the Lady on your night.

Another day without rain. Wow. I could get used to this.

a long day today. Up late, up early, a major training to be
part of, then dinner. I wish the rest of the staff would stop
terrifying the new interns/staff with all the stuff they say
about me. Especially when I am low energy and not wanting
to deal with it.

Life on the river is, as always, moving along. Still no paddle
to speak of.

The full moon is well on it's way.


To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the world,

The Nightly Mission:

You can travel beyond
your boundaries in sleep.

Some of the best things
can happen there. It is
a different type of journey,
like dreams are...but better.

So sleep well.

Wake up in the morning
with a new slant on life.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day and that the night goes well.

Overcast again today, but no rain.

Interesting and fun today. Terraforming an imaginary
island. I mostly watched. And laughed a lot.

A friend of mine, she is actually sort of a pupil in some
respects, although she teaches me probably more than
I teach her, bought an island in Second Life. We found
a way to do it cheaply. It is so much fun!


To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Life is constantly full of surprises.
When you least expect them, as well.
That is what I was told, and I've found
that to be true.

Sleep well, knowing that all things
go just the way they are meant to,
around in a circle, as it was, as it is,
as it will be.

Wake up in the morning feeling good.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day. May the Lady bless your night.

Another overcast day and rain this afternoon.

The moon is as close to full as makes no difference.

High energy fills the skies, affecting all that soar
through the air, including those who have their
heads in the clouds, I expect.

It makes up some for the grey and dismal day
light hours, and the frequent spells of rain.

I scared the same bird in the loquat tree again
tonight. I was not as spooked this time.

The tree frogs are multiplying on the side of my
house, as are the lizards. I counted 5 today,
before it started raining and drove them into
hiding.


To all who sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

May the Lady shine on you
and bring you warmth, joy
and the sweetest of dreams.

May you keep that feeling
all through the day when
you wake up tomorrow.

Blessings,

G'Night.

 

I hope you had a good day and that the rest of the night goes well.

Another overcast day...very light rain, mostly in the late afternoon
and evening.

Work was canceled tonight when the room reservation got screwed
up. Because of the fire, most of our groups are held elsewhere, in
public locations. I had a bit of a confrontation with a guy who thought
he could carry on a conversation with a client when I was already
talking to her. He didn't like it much when I pointed out that he was
interrupting me. I am oblivious to mad-dogging, and the client was
trying hard not to laugh, so he got a little angry. Image. Major
issue a lot of the time.

So I was home before the sun went down. The birds, all except
the buzzards who were swapping trees about a block from where
I live, were all roosted and most of the squirrels in their nests.

Too early to see any frogs and too late for most of the lizards.

So tonight...or tomorrow night, depending on which calendar I want
to use...the moon blooms. Enjoy the energy.


To all who will sleep tonight on this side of the earth,

The Nightly Mission:

Slide between the sheets tonight
and then slide into sleep. Take
a long ride into your dreams and
learn what you can from them.

Wake up tomorrow energized.

Blessings,

G'Night.
