Your Horoscope for Today
What do the stars foretell about your day?
Today you will open a nineteenth-century novel, and the room will fill with coal-smoke fog.
Today you will duck the punches thrown at you.
Today you will sit on the grass, put your fingers in the earth, and dig to Hong Kong. (Or, should you be on the opposite side of the world, Chattanooga.)
Today you will get a contact buzz from the scent of brownies wafting from an open window.
Today you will high-kick like Ruby Keeler, even though you don't know who Ruby Keeler was.
Today you will sing "Home on the Range" from your high-rise apartment in the city, and somewhere in the exurbs a hound will bay in accompaniment, even though his owners will think he's making a fuss about nothing.
Today you will score a goal.
Today you will not watch ants marching, because you don't dig that kind of regimentation even in the animal world.
Today you will find the Perfect Song in your collection of music, and you won't remember where you got it.
Today you will collect condensation from the side of a glass and flick it high enough that it will make a cloud.
Today you will sit in a darkened room and remember.
Today you will stretch.
Happy today to you all!
