I was reminded of that myself just last weekend.

And if you've even looked at the news, aren't you glad that's true.

But awesome? Awesome is totally about you.

Good point!

Then whose journal is this?

[aroraborealis.livejournal.com]

Well, everything here is about me! It's just when I start assuming that stuff over there is about me that I start to think I'm overreaching a bit, you know?

obscure tangent of the day

[jacflash.livejournal.com]

I once read about an initiatory-type spiritual tradition where one takes a vow to assume that everything is about one -- to deal with everything as if it was all about the universe speaking to one's soul, or words to that effect.

It's worth noting that this was a) done for educational purposes, b) done well along the initiatory path, after years of study and preparation, and c) referred to as "entering the Abyss".

I mean, yikes, eh?

Wait, didn't you know that we live in the Rosaverse? You are the little butterfly flapping merrily away in the center of all this chaos. (You may not see yourself as a butterfly. But you are a sexy butterfly with antennae of pure snark.)

Oooh! She can totally probe me with her proboscis anytime! ;)
