It's been a few weeks, but it *was* Wednesday

Brezsny tells the Gemini this week:

What I hope you'll achieve in the coming days is a state of mind like that described by Dan Linton, one of my readers. This is his report. "Last night I went to Wal-Mart with a friend who was returning some tools. I walked around the store while he was at the service desk. In the shampoo aisle an unusual man who looked like an Aborigine made extended eye contact with me. As he walked past he announced in a happy tone, 'Your mind is empty.' I was super excited and found my friend to tell him. 'Isn't that an insult?' he asked. 'No,' I said. 'The guy meant that my mind is clear, which is true. This is the first time in two years I've felt that my mind is free of shrunken expectations, limiting concepts, and emotional distortions.'"

I could use more of that lately. Sounds good to me. Maybe this coming week is the time to listen to "Hammer and Nail" a few extra times. I haven't in awhile.

To Leo, my moon sign, he says:

I hesitate to be so blunt, but the fact of the matter is that right now God in on your side. This is true even if you're an atheist. Simply put, the Divine Wow is listening to you more closely than She is to everyone else; She is more prone to slipping you little gifts than all of Her other children; She is plotting to reveal more useful inside information to you than She has in a long time. Here's a tip to ensure you'll get the maximum benefit out of your goodies: Use at least some of your fantastic luck to help people in need.

That might go very, very well with a clear mind. We'll see how it works out.

One of the writers of the West Wing dramatizes an undecided Democratic National Convention becoming decided. It's written well.
