A Knock at the Door

Wednesday March 28 2007 by ocean1025

I discovered this beautiful video film a while ago, and I truly enjoy watching it. Whenever I feel a little down and out, I click on the link, which I have bookmarked, and take a couple of minutes to enjoy the artwork and the message.

“The Enchanted Wood”

Matt Stewart

Durwaigh Gallery

I’ve sent this link off to a number of my friends over the past months since I first discovered it, and now I share it with my Blog family. After watching the film, feel free to leave a comment, and to invite your family and friends to come to the Crossroads and view it as well.

click on the above graphic to watch the video

I hope watching this video will encourage you to “leap, soar, explore, and dance like a dervish.”

Enjoy.

Hey Birch ~

Any meditation that allows us to leap, soar, explore, and fly through star filled skies sounds good to me!

MEET OCEAN

Ocean is the creator & manager of this blog. Born deaf into an all-hearing family, she was raised oral and attended hearing schools. Ocean began learning sign language at the ripe old age of 16, and after meeting a Deaf man began her own journey through Deafhood. She graduated from Gallaudet College (now University), and has held positions both within & outside of the field of Deaf Services.

Ocean has been a practicing Pagan for 30 years, and considers herself "an eclectic witch," with a primary focus on Celtic Spirituality, but an interest in many different areas. A skilled tarot reader, she once donated her services to help raise funds for a Domestic Violence agency. She has also done workshops on aromatherapy, herbalism, & Paganism for the Deaf Community.

As a passionate advocate, Ocean often speaks out on the need for greater access for Deaf people (Pagan or otherwise) - interpreters, captioned videos, CART, etc...and works to build bridges between the Deaf & Hearing communities.

She lives not far from her hometown on the banks of the Ohio River with her two cats, Karma & Gandalf.

To contact Ocean,
you may email her at oshginva@gmail.com
MAKING CONNECTIONS

This sculpture shows the sign for "connect"...and that is what Deaf Pagan Crossroads is all about - making connections. Connections between Deafhood and Paganism, connections between the Deaf Community and the Hearing Community, connections between myself as the writer and you as the reader. I hope you will take the time to read my various posts, some of which are listed below. Welcome to the Crossroads, and I hope you make some connections here!
