The Raven and the Frog


In Native American culture the Raven was called upon in ritual so that visions could be clarified. Native holy men understood that what the physical eye sees, is not necessarily the truth, and he would call upon the Raven for clarity in these matters. The Raven is also the keeper of secrets.

Due to the fascinating transitions the Frog goes through in its life, it is a symbol of metamorphosis. Furthermore, the Frog’s dual time spent on land and water represents duality of the soul.

The fox is thought by many ancient cultures to be a messenger between our world and spirit world.

Words cant describe

Posted 04-11-2009 at 02:12 AM by adore79 (The Raven and the Frog- and now the fox)

I often do or say things on impulse and then regret them because I realize they can be taken different ways by those around me. Is this a lack of impulse control or do I just second guess myself too much? I've been pondering this question a lot lately.

I dont have much experience with friends, Ive never really had any since high school, and even back then it was only one girl, my best friend whom I followed around like a puppy and worshipped. I would get extremely jealous when...

Wiki article- cognitive distortions

Posted 04-09-2009 at 06:30 AM by adore79 (The Raven and the Frog- and now the fox)

Cognitive distortions are inaccurate thoughts or ideas identified in cognitive therapy and its variants, which maintain negative thinking and help to maintain negative emotions. The theory of cognitive distortions was first proposed by David D. Burns, MD. [1] Eliminating these distortions and negative thought is said to improve mood and discourage maladies such as depression and chronic anxiety. The process of learning to refute these distortions is called "cognitive restructuring"....

Meetings are hard to do

Posted 04-03-2009 at 03:37 PM by adore79 (The Raven and the Frog- and now the fox)

They are really hard to do. I dont know what is more difficult, going to them or staying sober. I am bad at calling people, the phone isnt just heavy it is unliftable. Oh well, at least I am getting to some. I've decided to not do one a day but go down to four a week, and go to extra ones if I am craving badly, at least it is a place to go where I know I wont drink. I guess Im not desperate enough but again, I am going to them. I really need to start working on step four every night.
