Beltane                                                   Garlic Moon

My crazed body has given up on time.  I wake up at 4 or 4:30 am and can’t go back to sleep.  Then, mid-afternoon I do finally get some sleep, so I’m awake for the evening.  I know this would equilibrate eventually, but I’m out of time one more time because I leave tomorrow.  Just in time, I imagine to start over again in Minnesota.

Been thinking about people like entertainers, military personnel, some business types who stay in this mode for days, weeks, even months at a time.  It’s easy to see  how chemical fixes would seem necessary and, even, how small cyclic changes in mood could become amplified by them, reaching pathologic levels.
