Candice Controls her Desire



PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
A century before the New Age movement began, French playwright Victor Hugo (1802-1885) was conversing with the dead. I want to tell you what the spirit of Galileo told him at a séance, because it's the perfect message for you to hear right now: "You know what I would do if I were in your place? I'd drink from the milk basin of the Milky Way; I'd swallow comets; I'd lunch on dawn; I'd dine on day and I'd sup on night; I'd invite myself, splendid table-companion that I am, to the banquet of all the glories, and I'd salute God as my host! I'd work up a magnificent hunger, an enormous thirst, and I'd race through the drunken spaces between the spheres singing the fearsome drinking song of eternity." (Source: *Conversations with Eternity,* translated by John Chambers.)


Now, that's fine advice if ever there was any.

Today's escapades did not go precisely as planned--what had been intended as "making a day of it" turned out to be more of a quick evening romp, but, still, it was fun. My cousin didn't arrive to pick me up until after 6 (she does have a tendency to run late). The plus side of this was that Little Sis was home from school, so we took her along with us. The Reiki healer's number that my cousin had found online didn't turn out to be current, so we just headed up to her shop anyway and looked around a bit. Couldn't be fit in as walk-ins this evening, but made my cousin an appointment for next week. I'm debating on whether I want one too, or whether I want to try some of the other interesting things the shop offers while she does the Reiki thing. I looked around for a copy of Liber Null, but their book selection was a little bit lacking, though I did almost pick up a complete tranlation of the Nag Hamadi texts. May grab it next week. There wasn't time for Japanese, but we did stop at a very good deli nearby. I haven't had a muffuletta in a couple of years, and theirs were excellent.

My cousin doesn't care for Japanese, she says, so we've decided on a compromise for next week: Thai. (I vow, though, that I'll have some proper Japanese food soon if it kills me. I don't care if I have to figure out how to make it myself, I'm bloody craving. I may burn the house down in the process, but, well, if that happens, we can roast marshmellows.)

The more I think about moving in with [profile] anastrasand [profile] taytheerthe more excited I get about it. Their RenFaire group [profile] paisleyglenlooks like a great deal of fun, and I'm looking forward to participating in the founding of the IL branch. There shall also be much artsy fun and gaming and gardening and searching for coffee shops. I can't wait!
 
Definitely a worthwhile step toward swallowing comets. ;-)
