What did you do when NR was down? (Page 1 of 3)

Hello zenden   I'm so glad the forum's back open for new posts; it was kind of sad not seeing any new ones this past week, but I did spend a good bit of time reading back through a lot of the older posts, so it wasn't too bad lol.  I'm glad to see you back on too It seems like you haven't been on in a while, even before NR went on vacation, at least posting anyway, and I always love reading your posts! They are always very inspiring to me.

Oh, and my week has been pretty OK, but not much out of the ordinary.  I put in a lot of hours at work, but it was worth it!  (I'm a waitress, and it's high time for tourist season here.)  One thing that was kinda neat, though, was one morning when I was getting ready for work, and in the morning light I saw all these little white sparkles all around me.  I remember lyra and LipstickMystic having experiences with sparkles so I looked up their stories about them again.  I still don't know what exactly they were, but I do remember feeling exctatic when they showed up, or showed themselves, or whatever

Welcome back All!  Wish everyone had a great week. 

As for me, well it was very eventful. It was my birthday on the 1st of April!
That was the same day I had to leave my apartment 'cause I had no funds.

Now I'm spending easter weekend with family with more changes of lifestyle along the way. 

ape-x I'd just like to echo what you've said about doing what you love and the not caring what others think.  This has been a major lesson for me recently as I've come to attract people in my life who tell me that my life is going in the wrong direction.  And basically one can never loose faith in oneself, because as soon as that happens, as soon as one doubts their divinity within - it opens up excuses for giving up self-power and the right to willful creation.  And doing what thou loves, well, there ain't anything better - except maybe when the doing becomes being, then love becomes sacred to the self, and to quote blind guardian again

And doing a bit of research this week, the Celts called the magical world the 'otherworld', which is probably not a coincidence as their music is heavily symbolic.  And as you can tell, I've been listening to a lot of Blind Guardian over the week, and looking over some "old" threads, reborn in a new light.

ur a doll nixie, a real sweetie.  been wanting to say that.  loved ur introduction way back.  and what u posted and have said.  i read some old stuff too, and so much we have said has rang true, other sites say what we say, have conjectured, intuited.  i love to see that.  that resonance.  sooo cool.  again, love to see stuff repeated, held up from other sources.  light keeps seeking its way out/in. we already knew much of what is happening on other sites, what theyre saying, wow.  love that.  keep piecing it together.  it was fun doing old reading and assessing. ur right too, didnt post much there for awhile.  ungeared up apparently.  like to hermitize every now and again.

and hey ape--just exactly what i had in mind--the "what did u do on summer vacation?" thing.  hehehe.  exactly how i was gonna title it with that in there, and laughing but got interrupted. u are upgrading and repairing?  good for spring.  i used to know a guy in my old hometown, who used to take every minute part of his harley apart, and draw a diagram thingy on his garage floor to the minutest detail, cleaning everything , every screw and bolt to a T.  whoa. i too, always look for both of u guys's posts.  ive noticed thru the last 2 years, how we are a real family on NR, and im not  family oriented, really in the traditional sense, but i adore the NR crew.  love learning and growing with this bunch. in many connotations, of the definition, of family with common goals, and understandings, we're it.  definitely a soul family, ordered familiar soul-groups.  so connected.  so comforting, leading to the contentment thing, comfort found at NR.  to see us trying to communicate in like terms. experiences.  sharing.  not like in Babel, where they all were connected and were so desperately having difficulty with that.

read the other day too, that when progress is made, to not 'tell it"--to keep it to urself.  well, dont know what to think on that and keep forgetting where i got that.  hm.  the development of self is of utter importance, and cant be done without discussing and reflecting and communication with others.  its so darn hard to put it all in words anyway, what we think, feel, have come up with, realized.  we get that.  so much is unwritten, and we meander along, yet we get it, we see whats going on, in other's minds, with the intent of what theyre trying to say.  all that is certainly comforting.  oh, yes.  we're back on. yippee.

just got this in after my other buddies just posted and to say a loving HEY HELLO, right on to my darling tom paine and starling, and natural mystic.  u have all been sorely missed.

Hi guys and girls!
Good to be back!!

Well, what I did ?
Hummm....
I did some treasure hunter in an old mysterious forgotten cave
full of  strange artifacts, sadly a misplaced crystal artifact put the
cave down and I could barely escape with my life!!!
Hauhauhauauha joke joke joke

Just plain ordinary days as always...

Wow!  I just got goosebumps and buzzing all over, what a pleasant synchronicity.  I haven't thought of LoTR in quite some time, but I did earlier today in a vision.  The vision had to do with Gandalf racing onto the battlefield and his staff being a white light.  From there it was a turning point in the battle of Light and Dark.  The feeling of joy, love and freedom came over me as I burst into tears with a knowing that we have won and all shall be well.  With the work of everyone seen and unseen, all the love pouring from all over has averted disaster.

I annoyed the other forums I'm a member of a little bit more.
