way of the world

sometimes someone tries to tell us something
we don't listen
we don't notice the signs
we walk the path
oblivious that we're going the wrong way
we take it as a test 
when really it could be easier
try to force the stubborn
sometimes we need that difficult path
we need the lessons it teaches
things happen for reasons
but it doesn't mean we'll never again see the people we met along the way
the reasons might not be apparent at first
but i'll listen more carefully the next time around

melted crayons

LIBRA: I got an interesting spam today. A company that said it was very proud of its high-quality work offered to sell me phony credentials that are impossible to distinguish from the real thing. What caught my attention the most were the degrees from Harvard and Stanford. I wouldn't mind having one of those up on my wall. But in the end, I decided that instead of paying the company $230 for one of its excellent fakes, I'd simply make one myself. And instead of creating a degree from Harvard, I would have it be from a place where I have actually matriculated, naming the Raving Maniac Academy of Crazy Wisdom, which is the unruly school where I often find myself during my lucid dreams. I bring this up Libra, because it would be an excellent time for you to make yourself a fancy fake diploma from whatever your equivalent is to my academy-you know, the source has been providing you with so much great teaching, even though it's not an official institution of higher education.
