I used to say that Layo had squirrels inside fuzzing all over each
other. I would ask her how many squirrels, from one to ten, to gauge
her mood, and she'd give me the answer on her fingers.
What kind of animals are inside you?

This was written by Sherrie Lee, a rec.arts.poems poster:
Take a yin/yang and flip either a yin
or a yang from top to bottom so that they
now face each other. It becomes a heart.
The two central chambers resemble the sacred heart
or a bulbous top to a temple, depending on perspective.
The Alpha and Omega of the book of Rev.
describes the beginning and the end. A circle
has no beginning or ending without a point of view.
The triangle is the trinity, three in one, a line. Two
triangles inspire a circle, and another symbol,
the delta, can be seen as a butterfly, resurrection,
and the heart of the yin/yang becomes a butterfly.
Reflect left to right each half of the heart
to bring the outer sides (left outer and right outer)
to the center, as though they were back to back,
where the body of the butterfly belongs.
The wings are the former yin/yang.

That is correct, yes. That is the problem with his generation (Pluto in
Virgo). They find the world messy and want to impose upon everything in
their environment the logic of things that they can control, while
completely failing to appreciate the much more sublime logic of life.
