I think there was a spell or chant or dance or something that went along with it, but I don't know it.

Anyway, I read that sometimes it actually worked.

Here's to kicking those demons!

  • Mood: Christmas Spirited
  • Listening to: Going Gone
  • Reading: Everything is Illuminated

mere words can
transcend meaning

haiku becomes
a mantra becomes
the pattern for your day.
