In Yoruba mythology Oya is the goddess of storms and destruction and "Beyond destruction, Oya is the spirit of change, transition, and the chaos that often brings it about." Her name means "she tore." (wiki)
It all rests on this
How do I see things now
In my average day
Am I an average Joe
Or do I seize the moment
And call on Oya
The goddess of change
"The Goddess of Change" by Joan Armatrading
Are you okay?
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool song. Are you having a rough time? When do you get to go back and visit with Fernando and the kitties? It sounds like you need to.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a pineapple week. I guess my feelings were set off by Mum's cat Chino having to be put down, even though I wasn't there for it. And then Mystery not eating afterwards. But probably those feelings just connected to deeper things, like missing Fernando and the kitties.
ReplyDeleteI'm not planning to go back for a visit until next year sometime. I have to find work cause even flying standby costs money, plus I can't afford to be over there, not job hunting. And then once I have work, it'll take time before I can have time off! ...We'll see how it goes.
I'm starting some volunteer work next week, at the literacy bookstore. ...And my writing's finally coming again, so that's something. ...And I got some more Pratchett from the library.
Thanks for asking. :-S
Some days are diamonds and some are just big ol' lumps of rock eh?
ReplyDeleteYou're putting your Self through some HUGE changes. It's not surprising you've got the pineapples. Sometimes you gotta fry them in beer batter and eat 'em!
