Things that happened this week:
two dead bunnies bodies without their heads in my backyard have gone missing. My middle cat is the murderer I am sure but I can't figure out who is stealing the bodies.
I had just finished telling a mom friend about The Lovely Bones which is a book about a young girl who is brutally raped and murdered and her afterlife in heaven when a man exited the fort in the bushes that our children were noisily running toward so they could play pirates in it. He hightailed it for the main road without looking back and had disappeared before we could catch up with him. I had originally planned on sneaking up to the fort so the kids could see how mysterious and "secret" it was. Who knows what I would've come across.
A big giant man walking in front of me at the train station made extemely rude remarks to his buddies about a young girl passing out cards for a "gentleman's club". He made these comments openly and without invitation forgetting the fact that he crossed over to the other side of the station to receive her card. Nobody said anything in response, including his buddies, but I was filled with a murderous rage so intense that I actually imagined his body hanging off a meat hook like a pig I once saw in a slaughter house (his legs reminded me of giant hams). I tried to pass him but he was so big and dumb and oblivious that everytime I made a step to get ahead he blocked my way with his meaty swagger. I decided to stop walking altogether and I waited until he had passed beyond my sight before I continued.
I am always looking for signs and omens but often fail to see them until it's too late-being a primitive human and not nurturing my connection to the divine as I should.

Most of the time I'd say you're right on target.
Lovely Bones is a wonderful book which is an odd thing to say about a book about rape and murder. But the book is so much more, it's about hope too.
