“When I was 18, I moved to Florida,
Like everyone sick of the cold does,
And I waited on old people waiting to die
I waited on them until I was.

Something as simple as boys and girls
Gets tossed all around and then lost in the world
Something as hard as a prayer on your back
Can wait a long time for an answer.

So I’m wearing my footsteps into this floor
One day I won’t live here anymore
Someone will wonder who lived here before
And went on their way.

I live too many miles from the ocean
And I’m getting older and odd
I get up every morning with a black cup of coffee
And I talk to the mother of God.”

— Patty Griffin, “Mother of God”

Gemini horoscope, from Astrocenter.com:

“About a week ago, you may have received some bad news concerning your finances, Goddess. This is probably the best day you could ask for out of the whole month to deal with these problems. If you want to come out of this situation as a winner, it may be necessary to approach things from a different angle than you usually would. But rest assured! Things will probably work out just fine!”
