Quality time, relaxation, and spirituality...all rolled into one

What a wonderful day!

My wife was actually feeling up to getting out of the house after being sick for over a week, the store actually left me alone to have a real "day off", so we drove to Flagstaff merely to enjoy ourselves and be in each other's company.

In the process, we stopped at two different metaphysical shops, picking up some insence charcoal at one and two small elestrial quartz crystals at another (oooh! They had some elestrials at one of the shops that had yellow topaz in it! Talk about beautiful!...but well out of price-range). We also patroned two of the used bookstores (found a fiction novel in a series we've been reading, but nothing worthwhile in the metaphysical sections). As well, stopped by the craft store and picked up some birchwood blanks and a woodburner etching tool so I can begin work on my Ogham Stave set that I want to craft for my divination work.

The drive back to Winslow was uneventful, save for the wonderful light show from the storms moving through the high country here. I've always enjoyed the ephemeral beauty of the clouds being lit by lightning against a stark-black night sky. Fleeting, illuminated sculptures against the jet velvet of night...

Yes, all in all, a really good day...
