I am excited about canning my tomatoes, green beans, salsa, soup and freezing my own zucchini! I have had a fresh cucumber everyday and the collards are ready for a second picking. I love collards. This food thing is still a very consuming passion of mine. Why is that? It must be more of the women's history thing. Our providing not only food but the production and preservation of food is our history. We are so connected.
Maybe this connection to history is one of the reasons I have never really considered myself "New Age". New Agers really don't connect with history; not in a gender sense. The New Age is all spiritual and genderless. But really, when our spirit chooses a gender- is it not for that gender's experience? So why wouldn't I want to connect with the experiences that pertain to that gender? If my spirit had chosen a male gender for this journey; I would be learning completely different lessons.
The whole label thing should be resisted but also embraced at the same time. While I don't walk around putting labels on people, I know that others will innocently "call" some one or some group some thing. It is fruitless to become upset- it happens and it will happen and that's that. So, if I must claim a name, or a group, or a belief (shudder) I would label myself "All Age".
Wicca, Pagan, metaphysics, new age, agnostic... it's all in the All Age. And it's all good.
