Numen, numinous ... aren't these words just luscious and delicious to the mind and as these sound off the tongue? I wanted to name my blog Numinous, but someone already has it ... cannot fault them for that. No one had Crowbone, though I think that there is at least one band named Crowbone. I've actually got a little Crowbone, saved in a little box.

So ... crowbone ... a numinous path ... the Beauty Way ... seeking to share and cherish the Beauty and Sacredness within and around us all.

Aho! May you walk in Beauty!
