This year Spring cleaning will have a new meaning for me. To clear out the old energies of the past to create a fresh space for the new seeds of intention to sprout... *smiles*

To move into this every so sensual spring season, prepare your body and mind for the uninhibited pleasure that awaits! Opportunities await before you... you will not see them until the clutter clears! Haha.

Celebrate your life and give thanks for each day.... Make sure you laugh, love and learn. Let the new lover in your life be you.

BTW... the temple bath needs new loofas, towels, and lavendar oil. Also, de-clutter and restock fridge with fresh fruits, cheese and beer! check!

  • {makes a call to the Saranac brewery in New York, the Magic Hat brewery in Vermont, the Bozeman, MT microbrewery, and the Columbia, MO microbrewery and orders a large number of bottles, to be shipped overnight FedEx to the temple to be delivered cold and ready to drink: then makes another call for all the bath supplies to the local Towels and Things store, again, to be delivered post haste.......}

    Anybody think of anything else?

    Oh yes, a fine commodity.........

    {calls four Missouri wineries and 11 California wineries that make the best wines, and gets approximately 30 cases}

    There. Order is complete for me.

    Celebrating what there is, and anticipating new celebrations from what is coming down the road, I sign myself,

    ^Rhino!
    • Rhino! Love the prompt action! How about some Spanish wines, too? Maybe some olives and good cheeses....
      • {Scribbling his notes furiously from what he's hearing from Diane and Lotus, Rhino, the Serengeti's "Critter of Action", orders fresh melons and fruits to make the mouth water, sun-ripened olives from the Mediterranean, and THEN he orders some of the wines that make Spain, Italy, and France famous....some Beaujolais from France, some limited edition Chianti from Italy, and some fine reds from Portugal and Spain, including a couple of cases of Barco Cuelja that he's laying in for a special occasion....a wonderful wine which blooms in the mouth and has undercurrents of currants and chocolate and leaves a smooth sweet aftertaste. Next, from Belguim, San Francisco, and Switzerland come the finest in chocolates for the celebrations to be held, and THEN (if that's not enough) he imports a couple of chefs from Japan, Italy, France, China, and New York that all have experience with vegetarian cooking as well as everything else.}


        Anything else for you, ladies?

        We need our priestesses and dancers to be well cared for and superbly happy. In that manner, they can spread the joy of which they are capable to all!
        • Oh and please don't forget the green tea ice cream... perfect for cleansing the palette.

          Wow! Talk about being pampered... it's almost obscene, Rhino. Hope we have plenty of temple Drachmas to pay for this stuff. LOL

          Seriously, I'd be thrilled with a picnic blanket, few bottles of wine, sunshine and some friends to share it with. (of course, after we spring clean)
          • "Seriously, I'd be thrilled with a picnic blanket, few bottles of wine, sunshine and some friends to share it with. (of course, after we spring clean)"

            Yep, but the other stuff's fabulous, too! Rhino *rocks!* Oh, how about "while" we spring clean?? I can multi-task!
    • Great post Lotus,
      and a good reminder.
      I volunteer my masseuse as a source for the lavender oils,bath salts etc.
      (Margery Smith)She's been to the herb school here and knows her stuff.
      She just delivered a batch of bath salts to my house yesterday with flavors in cedar,lavender,rose geranium,and fir.
      I'll bring samples to the Temple and see what everybody likes the most ,(besides the universally adored lavender).
      Also I've been thinking about changing out the old thurible for an updated hanging design,sorta like what those wacky Catholics are always swinging around (censor)except in Sacred Geometry forms,sphere, dodecahedron, etc.
      And if anyone needs candelabra, I AM the man.
      Here's but a dozen samples from more than 100 commissioned pieces...

      My dwarf citrus trees are currently blooming in the greenhouse. Shall I move them temporarily into the Temple to share that immaculate scent?
      • Beautiful, beautiful stuff, Stephen. Wow!
        • Rhino.... can we get a dead sea salt bath and special massage ordered up for Diane? That girl has been training her tail to the bone!!
          • *Observing the work being done, and finding it pleasing*

            Going off to clean the Temple Loos. Damn those things can get grimy. I think I'll find the resident piss-boy for some help.
            • Nice to see our temple leader pull up sleeves.... hey, you missed a spot.
              • {Rhino makes more phone calls as he chews on a toothpick to concentrate on the business at hand. He orders a 50 pound bag of Dead Sea salts (unrefined) and a hot tub from Home Depot, then sends the purchase agent for cleaning supplies, and then calls an old Greek buddy of his for both pecan and CASHEW baklava for consumption. He makes sure that his buddy understands...only the finest ingredients are to be used - vegetable oil only and no animal fats, premium grade local honey, and high grade nuts.}

                There, Lotus.....that should take care of the needs of the temple for at least a month. I also ordered a couple of preassembled portable buildings for storage, complete with refrigeration units as needed.

                Logistics? See a Rhino. We get the job done.
                • Damn, Rhino!

                  You are amazing! Were you a supply seargant in a former life for USMC? Only those guys and the SEALs are that creative when it comes to getting the goods.

                  OUTSTANDING!
                  • This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
                    Nope, Todd....I just know that good people need back-up. I've learned from my mistakes, and I know that there's a catalog for damn near anything you want in the world. All you gotta do is buy the stuff, or find out where to buy it.

                    Then, there's just a whit of common sense involved.

                    You don't go to the Chinese restaurant for grits.

                    And you didn't include geologists in your list. We're all outstanding......out standing in the field, aquiring data.....lol.

                    My Dad may have had something to do with it. He went to San Francisco once for a meeting and he said that one needs to 'do as the locals do'. He followed Chinese people to find the best restaurants in Chinatown, and looked at the local paper's restaurant reviews for hints on where to eat.

                    I've done the same in my career. I know all the 'hole-in-the-wall' joints in Missouri to eat, get a beer, or whatever. Imagine this: a FULL 1/2 chicken dinner that melts in your mouth, with FRESH green beans, mashed potatoes (REAL ones, not from flakes), roll, and iced tea...PLUS dessert in downtown St. Louis.....for under 10 bucks. Beat that.
