sitting here on the bank of Bayou Lafourche loneliness is a state of funk lethargic water meanders slowly toward its predestined end I watch with fascination the slow-moving bayou and its sole purpose in life swallowing deeply from the cask of life's many tributaries thinking how life is like Bayou Lafourche meandering through woe and glad many different roads taken many lives touched some for the good others for . . . and as the bayou rolls toward its end emptying into Gulf of Mexico can life's many roads be linked to the bayou these widely divergent roads we trod wearily at times like an aged heavyweight plodding toward the ring fragile as an old lady past his prime past his worth are we like Bayou Lafourche predestined or have we really had choices forGodsolovedtheworld thathegavehisonlybegottenson or are we merely conditioned from birth . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

It is entirely possible to use a bayou for scrying.  Those odd, slow, rainbow murky whirlpools that have no apparent reason for being there, and the awe of history--one of nature's many monuments, the bayou is... There's Bayou St. John, just right there in the middle of the freakin' city, too. I used to sneak off to them as I cut class, and think about those waterways as the highways and byways of the likes of Jean Lafitte. ooops, I'm writing on your thread again. My apologies. Tonight's muse is brought to you by Nyquil. Very much enjoyed the capture of the romance of the bayou. *IKO*  |
