SCORPIO Horoscope for week of April 15, 2004

After you damage a fingernail, it grows faster than when it's in its normal state. Scientists have proved this, though they don't understand why it happens. I have observed that a similar phenomenon often occurs in people who have experienced a psychic wound. They ripen emotionally with amazing speed, blasting through inner obstacles that had kept them enslaved to the past. I predict that you will soon begin responding in this way to your recent hurt.

Your destiny is a gorgeous mystery, Scorip. Your soul is awakening more every day. The secrets of life are ripening right in front of your eyes.

My cousin wrote this in February. I wish I had the eloquence to express my thoughts as well as she can read my mind. Thanks cuz.

when i flick my wrist, my chord resonates.
my scraping fingers, trying to relive those moments, falter. my tribute is not
in tune, and flawed.
i remember those beautiful moments - hanging in the air with blue-tune
tendrils of fluttering smoke and red-wine ribbons and magic tensions that
would go on forever if anyone let them.
underground, around the corner, it was always so.

  I'm Reeling From the Blow

I didn't sleep much this weekend. Things have changed. One verse has been circulating in my mind for over 48 hours. It has changed the way I think. I am relieved. I am devastated. I hope you understand how much I wanted to be a good thing. That is been the one thing that has wracked my brain so often. At any rate, it doesn't matter anymore.

Mama, put my guns in the ground.

Anyway, I need some. Sound advice, that is.

That is, advice on sound.
