SABBATH HAPPY SABBATH

Sabbath happy Sabbath. It's nearly Yom Kippur in this year of Birkat Hachama in my people's calendar (year of the Sun, occurs once every 28 years) and I'm in a good mood. To pay homage to my late aunt Annie, who died ten years ago this coming Sunday, and the late "Sexy Sadie" Atkins (who was just a pawn in Manson's foul hands) (there's a connexion here, see, re: my uncle Greg and Annie living out in CA and CO back in 1968 and '69 and their fandomage for the Beatles' "White Album") I decided to show up this morning at Shrine of the Little Glower -- er, Flower (this big penis-shaped church on Woodward Ave. here in Detroit founded by the late and not-so-sorely-missed Charles "Turn Your Head And" Coughlin -- the organization has however mended its ways since then so I forgive 'em) and send a few thoughts skyward in their honor. Yes, I'm getting more mystickal as I age. Still am exceedingly unorthodox in every sense of the word but as Lou Reed sang, I'm beginning to see the light.
