Basic Info| Name: | Cap'n Fox |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | 06-28 |
BioMal: "Ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. Know what the first rule of flying is? Well I s'pose you do, since you already know what I'm 'bout to say."
River: "I do. But I like to hear you say it."
Mal: "Love. Can know all the math in the 'verse but take a boat in the air that you don't love? She'll shake you off just as sure as a turn in the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down...tell you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens...makes her a home."
I've been rambling between the 'verses for quite some time. I'm always searching, hoping to find some clues about living true on the frontier between the Dominant Paradigm and the Contraries. In the spirit of adventure, Cap'n Fox looks for enlightenment, sifting through the everyday experiences of life, through art, magic, spirituality, metaphysics and culture for hidden truths and surprises. I'm a reader, an essayist, a student of the multiverse. I like to share what I find.
My traveling companions on the journey down the interstitial highway aremy wife, the lovely and talented Ms A, and* my children the Princelings, Prince Bear and Princess Sparky. I'm a Vermonter caught in dreary old Ohio, but one day, one day... In the meantime, here's a toast to the journey, and a disclaimer for those who can't figure it out reading the journal. My chromosome pair? 46,XY. The breakdown of particulars and facts can be found here.
*Yeah. Long story short, the wife part will soon be legally over and done. Living in Serenity, my own place now.
I'm relearning how to be a creative writer. Maybe someday, I'll learn how to be an author. There are many good authors on my flist. As I learn, I'll be posting snips on this journal. If you want to read them in serial form and in an organized fashion, you'll find them at![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
mouseion, my writing journal. Comment to be added.♥
For those of you who haven't already found this out, my inner child is a diminutive, myopic, bookish, fourteen year old schoolgirl with a contrary sense of adventure, slightly snarky sense of humor, love of freedom, peculiar morality, overactive imagination, strong sense of loyalty to true friends, and a good heart. Yes, inside this mean old man something else hides. This explains much.
Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. And you may quote me. - Elwood P. Dowd, from "Harvey"
Here's my take on wanting to become pagan clergy.
Some very sweet comments from the wonderful people on my flist:
"bodhifox is a Gumtree-blue Land Rover lover." -sagebee
"bodhifox thinks like a sage and writes like a poet. And he knows where his heart is." -curtana
"bodhifox is a magnificent dad and a purveyor of donkeys." -shiredancer
"bodhifox is an Arranger of Words, a Stirrer of Pots, and a Charmer of Females. Definitely an interesting character to keep around." -ravgonfly
"Some of the most amazingly lyric LJ entries out there. They are open and honest and poetic, and always a joy to read." -silverstah
"Cap'n Fox is without a doubt one of the kindest, sweetest people I've never had occasion to meet. He is a constant source of comfort and inspiration, and always has something wonderful to say. A true wordarian and a genuine Good Person, I can't wait to meetbodhifox in person." -irishyogini
"bodhifox has a good heart, a strong spirit, and is the only one I want in charge of the commune when we all decide to go back to the land and raise goats. -sirena73
"bodhifox is a good friend." -david_bridger
"bodhifox is a philosopher king currently masquerading as a simple citizen. By living as mindfully as possible, he reminds us all of that to which we ought to aspire. -mousme
"You, sir, are a wordsmith extraordinaire; a creator of worlds mysterious and sublime and characters engaging and witty. Ecologically conscious, parentally responsible, and quietly spiritual without loss of imagination or humor; you are a veritable renaissance man for the 21st century." -prolixfootle
"Being able to say that my brother is the sort with whom I can camp and canoe, dream and play, read and write, live and love, drink cider belly-up to the bonfire, raise children side by side to be the best of friends, the sort to tickle my muse into compliance, to run away to Vermont to start a new life where our sons and daughters understand and revere the simplicity and magic that is nature, that is life; that is a blessing I will never forget in all my days. He is all a little sister could ask for." -aliyna
Here's a kenning bycrowgirl13:
Brother mine, matched steps on the roads, mingled
grip in the heart. You are sweet
Oxygen for the Midlands and the Hearthstones'
Dream of well-tending. Cousin of apples, kin of
ash and hickory, called Jack's Foil- holding
Hope steadfast, with feet planted, gaze sharp.
Inspiration kneads songs in your kitchen, drops hints
(grey-green threads to braid) in corners. Her
Flame tresses tangle 'round your pen. Mo dearthair,
Old soul with a young heart, Freedom's perpetual champion,
carrying wonder in your crane bag. Always e-
Xtraordinary, a visionary with earth and seed cupped close.
Rory: Serendipity has never been a friend to us.
Lorelai: Ah, yes, but I talked to Serendipity on the phone last night. She feels bad about how she's treated us in the past. We had a nice chat. It's all going to be different now.
-The Road Trip to Harvard
We follow Callahan's Law in this LJ (also known as the Law of Conservation of Pain and Joy): "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased — thus do we refute entropy." (All credit to the Spider...)
“I am a great believer in found families and I'm not a great believer in blood. Although I love my family, even the ones I grew up with, to me I've always felt that the people who treated you with respect and included you in their lives were your family and the people who were related to you by blood might happen to be those people but that correlation was a lot less [strong] than society believes it is.” -Joss Whedon

I don't ever get enough sleep...
You may also see me called Cap'n, Fox, Bodhi, Mr Fox, Foxy, Cap'n Fox, Mo Dearthair and Brother Bo. No worries. It's all me.
"A fox. A fox? A fox! Oh, my!"
