Hey Tay,
Thanx for the "salute".
Way out of my genre,

but exposure to new (old) things in the musical realm is always a good thing!
I'm listening to Katherine Jenkins "Hymn to the Fallen" at the moment on lastfm -(one of my favorite places in Cyberia ).
I never knew such incredible music existed!
Music indeed can be a rapid transport to other worlds, so I'm coming to appreciate the medium as presented here, even though some of it doesn't quite make it through my "translators" and I am given to wonder...
but wonder is a good thing
RE my moniker(s) -
There is ALWAYS a "story' Tay! lol
(Thanx 4 inquiring.)

In a previous sojourn of anomalies, I was again in pfukked-ville, looking for an emerge-and-see exit.
At the time, I was working in a big book suppository -gazillions of books and all that knowledge so palpable, I had only to voice my inquiries, and a book would magically fall off a shelf in front of me, or I would "see" little blue coronas (lites) flickering around a book coming down a conveyor belt amidst the nondescript hordes....screaming for my attention....
Always and in all ways my queries were answered in the most delicious and unexpected of ways..... (we ARE powerful creators are we not? whether we realize it or not.)
In my work/play/meditation/study at the time with the runes, (among other things) two themes constantly came to the forefront, and I found myself being barraged from all sides with messages telling me to "follow the white rabbit" -follow my bliss.....wherever it may lead.
in this case, the imperative (messages) revolved around creativity - (we are creators are we not?)
"the spirit of creativity" kept clobbering me over the head,
along with messages of "enlightenment" coming to me at a "meeting place of the waters"!
AHA!, lest I bore you to tears with the tale of my trip around robin hood's barn and the coming to these places of power-(well actually it was a trip of faith that took me to the other side of the world!), and "power" , is a relative thing is it not?
I mean if we've "got it" we don't need to "go" anywhere do we?
But alas, we hummm in oids do need our "contrast" to keep the juices flowing and so we create all kinds of drama in our quest for experience and knowing and reconnection with our power.
Anyway, somehow, an opportunity suddenly presented itself out of the blue in response to all these yearnings.
Things magically, effortlessly came together propelling me on a quest that my family and peers all thought was absolutely INSANE!
(so what's new about that? ha!)
So, short answer to your query:
Of ALL the places on God's Green Earth,I awoke one fine day and found myself in a little village in the mountains of the wild west of Tasmania (AU) called "Tullah"....an aboriginal word I was told meant "MEETING PLACE OF THE WATERS"!
(Is this coool or what?!?)
To add to the astonishment, my hosts owned 40 secluded acres of rain-forest atop a mountain, surrounded by world heritage land..that had been christened "Tiganna Marabona", which, I was told was abo for " the SPIRIT OF CREATIVITY" !!!
talk about constant GEEE-gasumms!!

I must have been in a powerful place at the time as I had only to think of something and WOW..no matter how unfathomable-somehow everything turned on it's ear to present me with whatever it was that had been rattling around in my head....
I had been thinking about how magical it would be to create a space for gatherings/workshops/an isolated retreat where people could come together from all over the world to share the mysteries....
they say to be careful what you think about..but, I about fell off of my star when my friends took me to an amazing little abandoned hydro-village atop yet another remote breathtaking mountain that the hydro-official-guys were willing to GIVE to somebody, just for taking it over and developing !?! WOWIE
what an a maze-ing opportunity!!
But I digress, and only mention this (amongst a plethora of amaze-ments that occurred on that "trip", to illustrate just how powerful we really are..it's like the great gimme god says "if this is what you really want...here it is baby!!"

wow
but with POWER also comes great response-ability, and unless you are really ready to go "whole hog" (commitment!) and have the support of family and friends, then a zillion little foibles and glitches and gremlins and questions and doubts can swoop in and sour the mix .....
(so alas..there be the rub as it were, sad to say)
FASTFORWARD
and so here it (I) be, somewhere lost in time scratching my NP head thinking about the beauty and sheer mystery of it all, wondering how the begeesus I got here from there or there from here....
sometimes I feel like the poster child for LOST ! ha
but it is nice to occasionally find myself re-living those "near life" experiences ,
(anyone else hear the theme form CABARET playing in the background?)
"Come to the Cabaret ole chum..life is a Cabaret".
I again must thank you Tay for the catalyst/reminder of my adventure in TAZ (mania) and that we truly CAN be/do/ have/go anywhere/do ANYTHING that we desire!
isn't it amazing how we get lost in our own magnesia? (amnesia) :-Q and forget who we are and how powerful we really are as creators?
and so "Tullah"
stuck to me as my re-mind-er of the glory days and meeting place of the waters....
where we merge into oneness and everlasting POWER and grace and beauty and mystery and wonder
(and phun) as iOn likes to say.
"Anomalon" re-presents to me the re-mind-er of that balanced energy that possesses the power of the infinite possibilities inherent in all things .
I think I first became aware of the word and it's meaning somewhere in David Icke land ...maybe "Tales from the time loop"?
After awhile meanings morph and take on a unique flavor befitting the adorned one....
Pammie,
Being "Different" has never really fazed me. I have long had the sense of being a "wanderer" (a la Carla Reukert and the RA Material).
These days I have almost become a recluse and have sadly become increasingly jaded by just how B O R I N G I find most of the sheeple I come into contact with in the mundane world.
Living in the bible belt, anyone who is "different" is seen as a threat to their so-called good christian values and religious indoctrination...
but, as Ram Das says
"It's all grist for the mill!"
Thanks for the fish guys...
tullah's a grrrrrreat place for skinny-dipping! :-Q
so come on in
the waters fine
and if you follow me up to the top of that mountain,we can sit on the edge of the damn in the moonlight and watch as the clouds enguf us (HA! I said GUF..get it?) and move between earth and heaven ..and there we are right smak dab in the middle of it all!!
how great is that?
ciao
Tullah
