(Thursday, January 25, 2018, Virginia Woolf’s 136th birthday) moon first quarter Taurus
I awaken at 2:30 in the morning with a sore throat and slight congestion in my chest. I believe that I stay awake. I look at the clock periodically. At one point, I sense a long furry animal sneak under the covers and rest gently, warmly on my throat. Somehow I know that the fur is black. The creature is larger than a mouse or squirrel but smaller than Lola. A ferret?
The animal is related to the illness in my throat. I feel the need to tip my body over the side of the bed to shake away the furry one. When I do this, I realize I’m in the middle of a false awakening. And then I really do wake up.
I continue to lie in bed for hours with my eyes closed. I experience the same vivid shamanic imagery behind my eyelids that I saw all week in Glastonbury. The color yellow is prominent, again, but the moving shapes also remind me of surrealist paintings and animations. What an interesting dose of flu.
Day notes:
Ferret can help uncover hidden blocks and energies (throat chakra). To ferret out is to track something hidden and bring it to light. Skillful tunnel hunters. Cheerful, playful, cunning and focused.
Virginia Woolf and F. Scott Fitzgerald were for years my favorite writers. I read every book. Woolf Woman. Yesterday I had dinner with Amy Wolf. Her husband’s name is Richard Wolf, which was my favorite uncle’s name too. Tomorrow I fire Black Wolf Romeo and Mary-Mary-Quite-Contrary (aka Black Sheep).
