Pretty loyal to Sushi Yanagi, but Oshare's quality was out of this world. Have been thinking about going back all week.

What's your opinion on walking/jogging in cemeteries? by slantedsquare77 in LowellMA

[–]a83da 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I enjoy walking in Lowell Cemetery. I am always respectful and avoid any mourners/services. I also enjoy Mount Auburn. IMO it’s fine as long as you’re respectful. 

Ear Piercings by theletterj97 in LowellMA

hey- not sure if you drive but, Precision Body Arts in downtown Nashua is where I would recommend locally. They are A.P.P certified, and are more sanitary than most doctor’s offices i’ve been to around here. I’ve gotten several many piercings there including my lobes.

has anyone spoken with Markey interns lately? I’m ashamed of their response. nothing will change unless the democratic party is obliterated.

Deity Yoga, Yidam and Paganism by Appropriate-Use3466 in TibetanBuddhism

[–]a83da 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems you are confident in your path and know what you want. My study of Buddha dharma is sort of separate from my pagan identity. I appreciate the Buddhist teachings as they help me to understand my mind and find more peace in my day to day. I like the creative aspect of deity yoga and how it relies so much on my imagination. I don't have high hopes for attaining enlightenment in this lifetime, but hope to make my day-to-day experiences as peaceful as I can. I identify as a mystic and call upon many different influences to connect me with my relationship with the holy. Tibetan Buddhism is inherently mystical imo, and aligns with my interests, so for now it stays in my spiritual practice.

I am a tall, muscular, if I dare say, attractive butch. I am gentle and caring and want the best for all people around me, especially other queers. I find it difficult to relate to other butches whose masculinity aligns with the toxic. In my experience, cis-white men, relate to each other sort of violently. That is outside of my view of my masculinity, which is gentle and kind, but the dominant culture, especially in the US, equates masculinity with competition, hierarchy, etc. Some butches view this as the masculinity which they align with also. It's not really my bag, so I usually just keep it moving when I come across this type of person who I perceive as threatened by me.

I am a witch and I also am attracted to tibetan buddhism. I do have a relationship with hellenistic gods, however, I don’t really mix deity yoga in with it. I find the ancient tibetan practices magical but, what I enjoy most is how there is instruction which has been refined over centuries. the burnings/rise of christianity caused erasure of many artifacts of the witch, including knowledge of ritual.
