today...a story and some random thoughts and of course...a watercolor.....
Psyche....a woman of beauty and grace....she is the deity of soul....she represents self-search...and personal growth through learning....losing, and saving love...I guess she was on her vision quest... :)
she fell in love with Eros, the god of Love...Aphrodite's son...and the story goes:
Psyche lived an ordinary life...but she was so beautiful....and many flocked to see her....that Aphrodite became jealous of her and wanted Eros to go...and poison the souls of men who admired her....as to kill their desire for Psyche....
Eros went.
he fell in love with her...and probably her boots...if she had any. there are different versions of this story...one has Eros accidentally piercing himself with one of his love arrows...making it impossible for him not to fall in love with Psyche...
Eros was tricky...and after some weird arrangement with an oracle...and ....oh, dear goodness....long story short... married Psyche, but told her that she could never see him....
but her sisters, jealous of her happiness with Eros....also tricked her into taking a lamp at night and seeing who she was married to...because they said he was a monster who would eventually eat her... (fuck sake)...and she should do him in before she was devoured. (haters)
She saw Eros....her beautiful husband...and surprised....she dropped the lamp, spilling oil on him, catching him off guard....he flew away feeling betrayed by her.
She looked for him everywhere....and then sought him at the palace of Aphrodite.....of course...by Aphrodite's wrath....Psyche was given 3 impossible tasks to complete....
Psyche completed every single task....but ended up letting curiosity get the better of her....and, well....it bit her in the ass and she ended up in a deep sleep.
Eros pleaded with Zeus to help him out, for godsake, and Zeus did him a solid...
he made Psyche immortal...and the two lived happily ever after.... the end.
moral of the story? never trust the haters. :) the haters gonna hate....
anyway.....today, I was really really really craving some kind of sonic therapy...something uplifting...something fitting the sunshine-y chinooky day (look up chinook and chinook arch)
....nothing sounded right....and then...finally....
New Order....pushed it's way through....and it was......perfect.
Bizarre Love Triangle.... I feel fine, ya, I feel good....I feel like I never should...whenever I get this way I just don't know what to say....
oh...also...another thing about me.....
i become zen-like in a parking lot....and then the gods shine on me....and the universe opens a path to the perfect parking spot...
every.
single
time.
mostly. ;)
sometimes you just have to trust outside forces.
peace and love....and Eros...again...and perfectly timed parking spots...
