William Blake

William Blake 1757-1827
What's wrong with a grown woman, wearing pajamas, motoring in to a quickie mart, and exiting with three jumbo-bars of chocolate with nuts? Nothing. I will eat chocolate before bed to liven up my dreams. I will eat salt and sugar, in alternating bites, until I no longer feel. I will get away someday, soon. Or I will go mad. Or worse--I will lie down and become pliant, lobotomized, and selfless.

Hey, sorry so long for reply...really bad...weeks. Blake was a rebel/ poet/mystic who loved God and hated the church (quite outspoken for his time). I think of him, and Joseph Campbell when I can't distract myself any longer, and come back to thinking I was left on this planet by some very mischievous, otherworldly acquaintances.

After Love There is no magic any more,       We meet as other people do, You work no miracle for me       Nor I ...
