They flowed like a wild river,
serpentining, weaving, wave after wave.
Then, they flowed into the gentle sea,
falling faster into love, so costly-free!
Laced fingers and spellbound,
only hearing heartbeats, drumming sound.
Turkish melodies humming,
and ships looking on with jealousy.
Singing love’s adventure and delights,
miles away from judgment and nasty frights.
Dancing in the midst of the morning,
gazing at the named stars was never thought to be boring.
She was indeed the brightest star,
side by side, this love, the world could simply never mar.

Rewriting Relationship Command Code
This year, I have almost completely cut off contact with most of my friends. It wasn't a dramatic falling out, but rather a gradual fading of ties. After seeing some people for who they truly are, I felt there was no longer any point in maintaining the relationship.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
