treesong.org is reborn!
Welcome back to treesong.org! I apologize for any difficulties that you may have had at this site during the outage over the last 9 days. There still may be one more brief outage around New Year's as I switch to a free server at http://treesong.freesuperhost.com -- which is where you will soon find yourself when you visit treesong.org. But for the most part, treesong.org is back online and here to stay.
Events in my life seem to have an impeccible sense of timing. The time between Samhain [Oct 31] and Yule [Dec 21 this year] is known to many as "the in between time." It's a time between the worlds, and a time between death and rebirth. In the story of the Goddess and the God's journey through the Wheel of the Year, Samhain is the time of the final harvest, where the God makes his greatest self-sacrifice in the form of the harvest. He is reborn [or re-conceived] at Yule, as the sunlight starts to return. Therefore, the time between Samhain and Yule is a time of cold, quiet, dark, death, and inner reflection.
Isn't it interesting that treesong.org decided to crash [die] right in the middle of this "in between time," only to come back online [be reborn] shortly after Yule? This website has decided to enact the ritual drama of the death and rebirth of the God! I apologize for the inconvenience that these days of downtime may have caused you, the guest of treesong.org. However, I do find the timing of this outage very fascinating.
So, now that the light is returning, what are your thoughts and feelings about the coming new year? I know that I have so much on the horizon that I can't even describe it all in a few short paragraphs. I'm going to continue working with my book, hopefully complete a fiction book in the coming year, hopefully go on a 2005 Revolution of One Tour, put a good deal of work into treesong.org, and definitely spend a great deal of time with my spiritual studies and practices.
I could say more, but even though you won't see this for a few more days, I'm writing this entry on Solstice. Therefore, I will leave the details of the rebirth of the year, and my life, in the hands of the Goddess.
In the meantime, I wish you a happy holiday season, whether you celebrate Solstice, Yule, Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, any other holiday, or simply the dawn of another new day. May your days be filled with many blessings, and your nights be filled with restful sleep and vivid dreams.
