Today's Earth Prayer

Blessed sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain,

        spirit of the garden,

Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood

Teach us to care and not to care

Teach us to sit still

Even among these rocks.

Our peace in his will

And even among these rocks

Sister, mother,

And spirit of the river, spirit of the sea

Suffer me not to be separated

And let my cry come unto Thee.

 

–       T.S. Eliot

 

Thank you!

THANK YOU to EVERYONE who wrote supporting my decision to buy burgundy velvet *come fuck me pumps*.

I have officially decided that I need to start believing that I am sexy and worthy of wearing such utterly frivolous and delicious shoes. After all, sex appeal is at least 40% attitude. But this is very hard for me to do, and it's more touching than I can convey to have people in my corner cheering me on. If you see me acting like a nonentity, please thwap me and remind me that I am *officially* worthy of notice. :)

As a side note, Zappos.com is da bomb! I chose standard free shipping (4-5 business days) on my order. I came home this afternoon to an email that they'd given me a free upgrade to 1 business day delivery -- I'll have my shoes on Monday! Woo HOO!
