well i was, at any rate. so on my way to work this morning.. i was going to garden, i stopped on the stage in cuba mall to finish my coffee and have a cigarettes, as you do, and contemplate the morning dance of the people going to work, as you do, and what magic the dance may or may not contain, as you do..... well ok as i do, anyhow.. a . . *ponders*. . let us say a man, who was dressed somewhat like the other officer workers on their way to work, but he wasn't as i am pretty sure it was a pyjama top he was wearing under his sports coat!,, anyways.. this man stopped and asked if he could have a cigarette, and being that i was feeling generous, i said sure, have a seat and gave him the one i had already rolled, and then rolled myself another...as you do... and as things generally go questions was asked about what a person does etc etc.. to which i said.. why i'm a masters student, at vic... so when asked what i was studying.. i say.. modern paganism.. which is sometimes followed by a small silence... and then 'you could be one of those pagans then' was asked this morning.. to which i said.. yes! i'm a witch, to which there was another small silence, although it was a bit nervous this time... and then something weird happened... i could feel an energy build up coming from said person with a pyjama top shirt on... and a few seconds later.. he said well thanks for the cigarette, have a good day and blessing be upon you!

sweet i though.. even if the energy is somewhat chaotic.. it is meant well.. and i likes blessings... *grins*....

but wait there is more.. so off to gardening, where i dug over a vegetable patch weeded the herb patch and put zoodoo mulch on both.. yay.. so just about to finish gardening when i here some gardening noises coming from next door.. cool i exclaim.. another gardener... followed by a head popping over the fence... you would be a priest i says as i notice the crosses on his collar, why yes he says, awesome i reply.. what flavour of priest are you. i ask.. he says.. catholic.. i says way cool.. then we chat about how he is working at the hospital chaplaincy and that his name is ray.. and that i am Polly and i writing my masters on modern paganism and that we both like gardening cause it is fun to see plant grow etc etc... then it is time for are to depart.. and he says.. have a great rest of the day, and bless you... i say sweet and thanks.. and wonder of on my way...
