Datura frightens me.  Yet why did I feel the need to gather some?
<em>It makes sense.  You deify plants enough as it is.</em>
What?
<em>You have an altar: your drawer.  You have a ceremony, which even involves transubstantiation.  You think about them all of the time.</em>
And I have you.
<em>And I have you.</em>
You're scary.

I went to coffee this morning with my mom.  We read and pet the dogs there and drank coffee and tea.  It was fun.  Then she left.  That was fun, too.  I walked home and stopped by the <em>Datura inoxia</em> plant on Dover.  I gathered to leaves, a dried flower and it's crown thingy, and a seedpod.  I left it with a prayer and a sense of dread ^^  I shall dry the leaves, crown, and seeds, and then hopefully forget about it.  You must take in to account the powerfully malign, even if you're an optimist.  

This reminds me, I was thinking of making my Ayahuasca and putting it in jars.  That stuff scares me too, but I don't think I'll have the resources to make it at college (nor the time to use it) and I think it'll keep better as a liquid in a sterile environment than as a solid in a few plastic bags.  The only problem I can see with this is that it's then illegal to possess.  :o)  Perhaps if I keep the Strength separate from the Light, it won't be.  Anyway, I need to ask someone about this.

I'm sure I'm probably pissing someone off, or at least making them scared for my safety, by talking about this, so chat with me, don't leave angry comments.
<em>Curse you.</em>
You're not funny.
<em>I'm scared for you.</em>
So am I.
