the stars and my girlfriend

So, i guess i have been trying to map out who i am through the stars, called astrology. i cant answer for myself, that's what the stars are for. but i cant understand it because so many selves start to pour out. i am feeling frustrated. i keep uncovering and erasing and marking and removing. i am plotting it all out by hand. but i guess thats all we can ever do.

um, my girlfriend Babs has been out of town lately, BUT she sent me a book in the mail by her favorite poet, SARK, and its been really inspiring. Want to see? Anyway, Babs is always doing little things to make me feel more a part of the real world. It's hard. its hard to stay tethered down.

chin up, chris! babs sent me a sark e-card the other day with an inspirational message that she asked me to pass along to you:

"Here was my experience from lesson one: I've had a lot of family issues so I was thrilled and scared that healing and transforming family was the first topic. I tried avoiding it as long as possible, looking for colored pencils before I could start, etc. But something magical happened. At the end, I no longer felt helpless. I felt empowered and then elated!"
