i read the first three books, the teachings of don juan, journey to ixtlan, & tales of power.
they were written in the 70s, the author is an anthropologist & becomes the student of a Yaqui Brujo. all about shamanism & magic. a journey to freedom.
changed the way i feel interacting with the world on a daily basis. really magic books

My dad gave me one of his books as a teen and at the time inspired my interest in psychedelics and just being curious about the nature of things. There are a lot of disputes about how real any of his novels are but that’s not particularly important to me. I find his stuff to be coded and poetic in a way that's both engaging and mysterious.

❤️So i have been on a mission to read books to figure out why i am kind of bad at the love thing and i am learning SOOOO much!!! this healing was so needed tbh i had kind of let things get to me and affect how i was treating people (romantic and platonic) and i want to do better. this book really solidified things in my head but also held me in a caring way. I have many more books in the chamber but i already feel so held accountable and so honest with myself it’s great

😃i heard a Fly buzz - when i died - (591)
I heard a Fly buzz - when I died - The Stillness in the Room Was like the Stillness in the Air - Between the Heaves of Storm -
The Eyes around - had wrung them dry - And Breaths were gathering firm For that last Onset - when the King Be witnessed - in the Room -
I willed my Keepsakes - Signed away What portion of me be Assignable - and then it was There interposed a Fly -
With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz - Between the light - and me - And then the Windows failed - and then I could not see to see -

❤️i met a senior couple at a garage sale in FL— one of the sweetest stories i’ve picked up.
they had their first kiss together on his family’s boat at 7 or 8 years old. they grew up together & were always close friends even though they met other lovers & had their own families.
over the years they’d talk on the phone for hours & hours. staying close, harboring looove!
during the pandemic they left their spouses and fell madly in love together, at age 70.
he is rebuilding the boat they had their first kiss on. they’re sailing this year.
