souls wander

The Swell Season - The Moon

Shut the door to the moon
Play no more with the fool
And let the souls wander
And bleed
From the soul

I love sock monkeys.

I may have found a seamstress to make me a Rockford Red Heel® sock elephant- a cousin to the sock monkey. I met the daughter of the seamstress at the farmers' market this morning.

This is what the big girl will look like when the seamstress delivers her to my care.

My mother told me that my grandfather wore Rockford Red Heel® socks to his grave. My adopted Grandma Pearl made me a sock monkey when I was but a wee girl. Sock monkeys must be my animal totem, and they bring sock joy to my heart.

Thinking About Soul Mates

Soul mates are about work, not play. The word “soul” opens a gigantic can of karma. While dating and light relationships are all about fun and playfulness, soul mates are all about deep emotional support, trust and faith. When you choose to go deeper with someone, you’re opening yourself up — you become emotionally vulnerable. Susan Strong, San Mateo-based astrologer and metaphysical counselor jokes, “Sometimes our soul mates become our cross to bear. You marry someone who is your soul mate and, over time, you realize you’re connected not just through chemistry, but because you are there to help each other.”

To love someone and be loved is a deeply spiritual state. [I never thought about it like this before, while at the same time realizing there is no assurance that a soul mate is for life. Just learning from the other person is the gift.]
