The other day, I stopped at my favorite Chinese restaurant on my way home from college. The owners tossed a couple of fortune cookies in my take-out bag.
Today, I decided to eat them. Both fortunes read:
(Smiling face) You will soon be crossing the great waters. (Smiling face)
Now, it is probably nothing. The smiling faces, I presume are to reassure me that I am not going to kick the bucket. But honestly, I think I would rather die than have to cross the great waters (whatever they are; I am guessing an ocean).
For those of you who do not know, I pop a lot of ibuprofen at the best of times. I am prone to migraines. And one of my triggers is moving vehicles. Furthermore, none of the medicines I have tried put a dent in them; in fact, outside of ibuprofen, medicine makes them worse.
That was one of the reasons that I found my sister's angry email to me a couple of months ago so annoying. She accused me of going to ren-fairs and Golden Dawn gatherings. Hades, I can not get to the local Witches Ball without major sufferance.
(For the record, I was supposed to speak at a Golden Dawn gathering, but due to money issues, I did not go. The next year, the gathering was cancelled. Probably a good thing, considering I travel much like fine shrimp.)
No one ever realizes how bad it has gotten until they seen me white as a sheet. I had complete strangers come up to me, after I gotten out of a car and am standing by the side of a building trying to not have my head explode (or worse), and ask me if they should call an ambulance for me. I have suffered once for three long weeks after one particular bad ride.
The possibility that the great waters are death is more comforting to me than the possibility that I might have to travel overseas.
Fortunately, I do not think that either one is a strong possibility. But if it is not those two options, what the heck is great waters and how do you cross them?
Could mean you are about to join with the other Immortals: become a Sage :)
ReplyDeleteI have head aches as well and have found that acupuncture works for me.Nothing like having your head looking like a pin cushion for a bit to take your mind off of things :)
ReplyDeleteAnother thing that works for getting rid of migraines and is to find a N.E.T. practitioner in your area.N.E.T. can clear out blockages in your energy flow and bring it back into balance.
N.E.T. ties in very well with magick.
