"In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts"
On my way downtown yesterday I was drawn to take the nice way through Grandvile Island. When I saw the Crystal Arch I knew I needed to get something. I've been so flustered from the stress of working & recording while writing a Canada Council tour grant mixed with sleep dep & drink & green stuff. I got a natural Citrine, not just one of those artificially heated amethyst or smoky quartz. This thing was put on this earth to self cleanse.
After that I went to get stickers and look for a confetti gun in the Kids Only Market. Then, I hung out with the ducks in the pond. That water is so dirty but the ducks are so nice. I was once either a duck or I'm going to be a duck in future life. There's something very familiar about them.
I even bought duck stickers without thinking about it. I put a bunch of the stickers I got on my mic and mandolin. You can see them in this picture from last nights show.
Their kinda small but there's a sheep on the headstock, a chicken and a hen under my hand, a rooster on the silver tone control, above that a rabbit and a duck on my mic. There are more on my mandolin but not in this photo.
I gave Tyr a kitten sticker and she put it on her sewing machine.
