White and Wild by wilshire|onePagaian.org Live!
After a lot of tinkering around on my part, and a great deal of patience on Glenys’s part, Pagaian.org is finally live . I really hope now that people will come and read (and purchase) Glenys’s book, because I think it a very timely and profound work, that could even lead towards a new way of seeing reality and ourselves.
There is a forum, and everybody in encouraged to sign up and give your ideas and opinions.
Exciting times ahead…

Hey Rob
about your new blog logo … you may know all this, but just in case:The origins of the “Yin-Yang” Symbol – in the Earth-based tradition of China
If one measures the shadow a pole projects at midday, from the Winter Solstice onwards, this shadow will become shorter every day, until, at the time of the Summer Solstice when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky, the shadow will be the shortest.
Afterwards the shadow will again increase gradually until the cycle is completed in the next Winter Solstice.If the increases in the shadow’s length are plottes in a circle – because this is a cyclic, ever-repeating phenomenon – and the period of increased darkness that begins in summer is coloured, the plot looks like:
the YIN-YANG symbol
(the Southern Hemisphere one being the mirror image of the Northern Hemisphere one)
