Wheel of Fortune

swimming in a wine dark sea

That's what I feel like---swimming in a wine-dark sea---navigating only by intuition and emotion

there are deep-red roses blooming this week on the climbing rose with a scent so deep and lush...I want to bottle this...surely it is rose wine for the celebration of all the olde wyse mermaids

Below 13 suggestions from Church of the Old Mermaids----place them in a cobalt bowl or an abalone shell---pick one daily for meditation....drink deep red rose wine...or tawny port....listen to Alice Coltrane...drift away, drift away....

Thanks, Jaspenelle. I love them, too! I've put into a pot all these sayings, and in the morning I pull one out, as a kind of meditation/divination tool. Joanna Powell Colbert gave me the idea—she started doing it with the Old Mermaid suggestions first.
