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.

Sun Shine 

Yes, yes, yes, I will, I will, I did, I do. Okay, I can't remember Molly's speech word for word tonight. But let me just say this: The sun came out here today! Oh my word. Bliss, bliss, freaking bliss. It was totally unexpected, and we took advantage of it. I hadn't slept much last night (again, again), so I got out of bed late morning—and then I saw it: Light. No rain.

We drove down the road a piece with the intention of walking up the mountain to visit the Witch of the Mountain. Before we started up the path, I asked for safe passage for Mario and myself. I assured all the Visibles and Invisibles that we intended no harm, and then we started up the mountain path. I immediately started feeling better. Fresh air. Green, green, green, green everywhere. Dripping green, yes, but no rain was falling from the sky. The path was snowy and icy in spots, but we walked up and up and up. In the distance the sun highlighted patches of the forest, making them green-gold. Exquisite. Up at the top, Mario went one way to look down at the river winding toward the ocean. I walked a bit further to the top of the mountain to talk with the Witch of the Mountain. Fog nearly whited out the trees below the talos field. "Top of the world, Ma!" I had the conversation I wanted. I left an offering, and then we went down the path.

Going up, then down, took about two hours. Two blissful hours. Then we went and had dinner at the Blossoming Lotus. We walked over to Powell's afterward and got some books. We picked up a pint of Coconut Bliss and drove home. Once we got in our cozy house, we heated up organic blueberries and raspberries and poured them over the Naked Coconut Bliss. (No sugar, dairy, gluten, or nightshade. Bliss, indeedy.)

Thank you to the Weather spirits for this gift of a day. I hope you all had a good day, too. Now it's time for sleep.

May You Bliss Out in Beauty!
