Re: postcard: castor & pollux.
[The card, again, comes in an envelope and accompanied by a note.]
Castor,
I like this card because it's strange and wonderful. What do you think happened to those four women? Can you imagine driving out with your friends and holding hands and taking a picture like that? It seems so simple and sweet.
Salome is from the bible. Her mother hated John the Baptist for condemning her marriage, and she encouraged Salome to dance before her father, who ruled everything, and her father said she could have anything she wanted for dancing beautifully. She asked for John the Baptist's head, and there are a bunch of paintings of her holding John's head. What I think is interesting is that she somehow became branded as a dangerous and seductive woman because of this. Why?
I can't think of anyone without problems, but I think I would like to be the first. I think I could know good without having lived all the bad. I think we just say that to make ourselves feel better about the bad, so it doesn't seem to be meaningless.
Where did your peace go? What's in its place?
Would you want to be Zeus? There are times when I want power more than I want anything else. And I picked the days at random. They felt like the right days, but my point is that there are happy days and unhappy days. I try to take each day one at a time. If I look at it all together then it can get overwhelming.
