Today I'd like to welcome back to the show my New York hooded sweatshirt. I wore this sweatshirt nonstop during my holiday vacation, sometimes affectionally called the Period of Violent Illness. When I got back to Chicago, I put it on burn pile with the velveteen rabbit and didn't touch it for fear of re-contracting any of the viruses. Last night I finally got around to doing a laundry load of dark clothes. Expect to see me wearing it constantly again.
Last night I got a chance to talk with
wearemany for the first time in several lifetimes. I guess it's really only been two weeks, but some weeks are longer than others in any given year. As usual, the conversation was very grounding and my favorite line was (paraphrasing, since I forgot to turn on the phone tap), "well, this is something you've dealing with for awhile....that's why I asked you that question three times when you were here and never really got a satisfactory answer."
Then
limenal came home from a long and frustrating day only to have a horrible evening. I don't want to take away her thunder by writing about her life in my journal, but feel free to go click over and show her some love and happy thoughts.
After True Spirit I'm getting more ink. I've been ready for more tattooing for a long time, but didn't fully settle on the place and the design until last fall. I made half-hearted attempts in San Fran and blamed my reluctance on my lack of money, which was true, but it's not like that has ever stopped me before. A couple weeks ago, Roberto and I agree to go together when I'm back in town next week.
Last night I was thinking about the tattoo more explicitly. I had this strange moment of panic where I suddenly felt it was all wrong and didn't fit at all what I was going through in this exact moment and therefore it's not the right time and I should call Roberto right now....but then I took a breath. And realized it actually matches exactly and perfectly with where I am and what I'm doing. Because, you know, I'm psychic. It also probably helps that it's something I can trace back to ten years ago.
And no, don't bother asking. I'll tell you after it's actually on my body.
Once again, my horoscope is telling me what I already know. But that's really how it's supposed to work anyway: the planets are reflecting the actions on earth, not causing it. Or something.
CANCER (Jun 21–Jul 22): You may feel on edge as the emotional tides are shifting, but this is an unusually stressful time for you. Your feelings are strong; your thoughts are a bit wild. How can you reconcile your passive sensitivity with the radical and progressive thoughts you are now having. There’s no need to jump into action until you have a better sense of which way the currents are flowing.
