Non-crucial crosswalks

Spring Poem
It's equinox
Time for a detox
New beginnings & dreams
Lots of shakes with greens
Release rather than let things fester
Gather many eggs for Eostre.

A text from my sister:

I feel like this sounds so dramatic, but I genuinely went into a state of shock when she told me I had Scorpio rising.
Omg - birth certificate in hand- I'm a scorp rising???!!!  This is crazy!!!  Wow. It's like I don't even know myself anymore. Lol

"Around here you don't refer to chocolate as cocoa.  You say cacao."

These past few weeks on Facebook the blog has been writing itself:

"Be aware of mercury in retrograde..... even if you don't believe in it.... it will still nail you!!"

"Locked my keys in the car.  Got them back, lost them at work.  Had to have my boyfriend drop off the extra set, he dropped off condo keys by mistake.  Have spent an hour looking for them at work and can't find them.  I can't text my boyfriend because when he dropped off the wrong keys he left his phone here. 
It wouldn't be mercury in retrograde without a keys debacle.  Happens every time!"

"I like to play a game every time I go to Sebastopol. Its called: 'Count How Many White Dudes Walk Into Traffic/In Front Of My Car Without Looking.' They never stop or look back. EVER. They just mosey on like they own the world. Seriously. Loads of them, all ages. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Its almost like a video game, just way more obnoxious."
Comments:
   "White chicks too!  Belly dancing through the streets."
   "I have a game that I play in Sebastopol too.  It's called spot the old people that dress like toddlers in homemade pajamas who also wear weird knit hats.  It's all day entertainment."
   "Extra points if they have dreadlocks"
   "So many mornings, back when we lived in Sebastopol when I'd be rushing to get to work, stop for some breakfast at that Whole Foods and inevitably be slowed down by the zillions of hippies who seemingly had nowhere to be except the Sebastopol Whole Foods allllll damn day, and no spatial awareness about where their shopping carts/bodies might be."
   "Sebastopol Whole Foods is one of the most infuriating places on the planet, unless you just walked out of a restorative yoga class and you’re high and you don’t have anywhere you need to be for the rest of the day...."
   "I saw two Priuses crash into each other going 2 miles an hour in the Whole Foods parking lot..."
   "In Sebastopol there seems to be an inverse relationship between how present one is with their inner self to how oblivious one is outwardly...."

"Only in Sebastopol can one be surrounded by animal totems in an ER room!

Ha!"
