"I looked into his good face. Not good because it was handsome, but because it was itself, like fine metal, tempered and beaten for strength.... I had no right to claim him, I knew it. But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me...~Circe, Madeline Miller

Til The Love Runs Out

"breathe"

VIRGO Feelings may be generally mutual, but they are not specifically the same. It will take time to understand how another person thinks of you, though you'll never understand it fully.

It would help if people knew what they felt and said as much. But they do not, either one, generally speaking, about anything.

Bonus: breathing thru your genitals

 Cooler than through your ears by far. When crabby, you could think at your junk, "BREATHE!" (Turtles are my totem animals.)

I am as tired as I look

Hotel beds feel like plywood wrapped in scratchy sheets. Between house(s) buying/selling/repairing and college traveling, I am so exhausted that I am not even sure for where/what/whom I feel homesick. All I want to is rest. A thought pops into my heart: I want to curl in the palm of King Kong and sleep cradled there. I can't remember why that seems familiar, like a I had wish in a dream before.

The 1975 - Somebody Else

My boss kicked it to downstate but I knew that was coming (unlike the rest of the crazy my job is atm). I told him I am spending my sabbatical on his couch, then I drank beer for hours with his wife plotting how to spend his big raise - not on fake tits, she says, cz she already got those last year (we all look down at this news at them then at our own 😕).  I really need just a toilet that flushes and isn't literally 90 years old and a kitchen light fixture. Basic basic shit. Like, can I get a few days of sanity and a handy man? How is that too much to ask of this world???

VIRGO If you set out on the journey ill-prepared and unsure, you'll be beginning the way most beginners do. This is the magic (and fun!) of being a beginner — inadequate means and imperfect odds of success.

It is official, I own two houses as of about 6 hours ago. I am not a beginner at houses but I have never had 'holdings' before. And along the way, my work life blew up totally. I am swamped, exhausted, embattled (when did being a teacher become a conflict frontline job? god damn holee chit).

To sooth my troubled mind, I renovate plan. I would woodwork if I could. Since I can't, I call craigslist work ads looking for gems. That makes me a general contractor right? In a skirt with a smile(ish).

Everyone around me has lost their god damn mind.

How sexy is it possible for you to be?  I'm referring to authentic soul-stirring sexiness, not the contrived, glitzy, counterfeit version. I'm alluding to the irresistible magnetism that wells up in you when you tap in to your core self and summon a reverent devotion to your life's mission. However sexy it is possible for you to be, Virgo, I suggest you unleash that magic in the coming weeks. It's the most reliable strategy for attracting the spiritual experiences and material resources and psychological support you need. 

VIRGO You've taken the time explore, understand and accept yourself, so now you get to have a lot of fun with the result. You'll enjoy your own company, as well you should. You're a delight.

 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

VIRGO As for the person who finds it hard to give a compliment, you might find this fact rather suspicious. Rightly so. It shouldn't be so difficult to prop up those around you, unless you are harboring emotional disabilities.

"Our life is frittered away by detail" Thoreau

One son hopped a bus to DC, while the other son says it's too late (he wants to fill the gun safe in fear of his country), so he and I went to see Viet Nguyen instead. We all listen to revolutions podcast in the car together (Haiti atm). We all agree to vote left with the rally peeps, but to also keep the gun safe when we move.

Duh. 
Except be careful that it isn't a 'with best friends like you, who needs enemies?' situation. Pick your friends carefully = The essential rule of thumb in all things including in bed.

Lol that one is great too, hahaha. 

SNORT (npr)

Infinite Jest, that's what I am calling my secret sextape.

I personally know only, maybe, a dozen people who'd get that joke. And I am not sleeping with any of those people.

VIRGO Lately, you've been dealing with a few layers of negativity. Rest assured the condition isn't chronic. You're doing something every day — maybe even every hour — to heal yourself, and it's working.

I hope so. I can't say I don't feel powerful, I definitely do, but there isn't much sugar in it. I am all salt now. There is never a reason to be sweet anymore.

save yourself, kaleo

VIRGO One definition of love is: the opposite of fear. Even so, smart people don't hug sharks, and some people are better loved from a distance. People will catch what you're sending out, even from miles and miles away.
