In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Turned to Mush... 

I don't know if my brain has turned to mush, or what, but I just get such a kick out of this Santa stuff on the NORAD site. (Which I mentioned in an earlier post.) It seems so incongruous. The idea that these military personnel came up with all this Santa stuff is just charming and bizarre to me. I always appreciate whimsy—it's such a hopeful way of being. Yes, I suppose one could think of it as NORAD coopting Santa, but I'd prefer to believe this is an exhibition of kindness and charm. (Granted, there are too many fighter jets being scrambled in these vids.) If you haven't watched these little videos from Christmas Eve, try 'em out. (Clicking on "download" worked best for me. You should actually see a video and hear the NORAD people talking.) Watch them all if you have the time. You can decide for yourself about my brain... 0 comments
