Sometimes I feel like it's everybody else that's eccentric, and I'm the only 'centric' one, if that makes sense! :o) <br /><br />Lots of love to your audaciously wonderful self! :oD <br /><br />By the way, can I ask you if have an Eastern European heritage? I'd also love to know the sign of your ascendant (mine's Libra - my sun is in Scorpio and my moon is in Aquarius [not surprisingly ;o) ]). Thank you for stopping by and reading some of my work, it makes me brim with joy! :o)EpiphanieBloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089593449423607587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620788262904096888.post-38113514463908559082010-11-26T19:05:47.184+11:002010-11-26T19:05:47.184+11:00Hi, Epiphanie -- It's Rob Brezsny here. I'...Hi, Epiphanie -- It's Rob Brezsny here. I've always used the term "freak" with love and affection, since I've always considered myself a freak. In my world, "freak" is someone who exuberantly lives outside the boring codes and creates his or her own miraculous life.Rob Brezsnyhttp://freewillastrology.comnoreply@blogger.com
