Alrighty then, I have been tagged by the lovely Ms. Digits.

The rules are as follows:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Post a comment and then tag five more people.

"This is no longer such a startling idea, for, due to our increasing psychological sophistication, we are inclined to be somewhat suspicious of ailments which evidence no organic cause, and of individuals who display such ailments on a regular basis. The term "psychosomatic" is part of our everyday language, although it is generally used to describe someone else's illness, not one's own. But we need to remember the enormity of this discovery in the medical world of the 19th century, when the power of the psyche over the body had been forgotten since pagan times."

That's from the book The Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption by Liz Greene. An interesting book that contains lots of great insight, but unfortunately it's not quite as readable as some of Liz Greene's other work. Her writing generally holds an appeal that extends beyond her target audience of practicing astrologers, mythology buffs and Jungian analysts, but not this time. If I didn't already hold a deep interest in the subject matter I wouldn't have any idea how to make heads or tails of this book.

The other day I asked my friend Digits if she had any recent photos of herself to share, and she was kind enough to snap one right then and �there... she even put on her Digits ♥'s Pixiequix sweatshirt. :o)

^Bump!

It's this lovely lady's birthday today.
Digits, hon, I'm wishing you all the best this year and always.
*hugs * hugs * hugs*

Coughing,
inside your coffin,
like at the bottom of the sea.

Inside you're breathing,
too numb for asking,
so I will leave it outside your door.

Warning,
the threat of morning,
that just extends you another day.

Some lights were shining,
not much for seeing,
but you'll be leaving the way you came.

Shot shooting,
Shot shot,
Shot shooting yourself again,
for what,
to taste all the waste.

Heathen (The Rays)
by David Bowie

Steel on the skyline,
Sky made of glass,
Made for a real world,
All things must pass.

Waiting for something.
Looking for someone.

Is there no reason?
Have I stared too long?

You say you'll leave me.

And when the sun is low,
And the rays high,
I can see it now,
I can feel it die.

I've been a part of the StumbleUpon community for over 2 and a half years. In that time I've met so many incredible people. This is just a quick post to say "thank you" to each and every one of those people. You all know who you are, whether we've shared a deep and meaningful friendship, an exchange of private messages or some great websites and conversation. It's meant something special to me.

Sometimes people think of experiences in cyber reality as somehow less valid or "real" than the experiences of everyday living, but I don't think any of us would continue seeking out these cyber encounters if they didn't hold some genuine significance in our daily lives. So, thank you, all of you. Thank you for touching my heart and my mind, and for bringing so much beauty into my life.

Not Dark Yet
by Bob Dylan

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom in a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.

It's probably plain to see,
That I got a whole lot of pain in me.
And it will always remain in me.

So cold it's a crying shame,
Yet here I am trying again,
'Cause I refuse to die in vain.

The circumstances put soul in me,
And there ain't no holding me,
I've got a heart made of gold in me.

Can you believe this is where I've been?
And when adversity comes again,
I'll deal with it then.
