Bows & Arrows

 09.03.2022

Thank you, Cupid. 

In classical mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus and the god of war Mars. He is also known in Latin as Amor. His Greek counterpart is Eros.

I know. In Marilyn Manson's song "Cupid Carries A Gun", you get a different sense of Cupid. It makes you think, though. 

Bows, blowguns, slingshots, and crossbows...all formative means of manually sending a message. But don't go wild. Let's leave that up to Cupid. If you've been accurately hit with Cupid's metaphorical arrow, you know what I mean. I got hit a number of times prior to the one that hit me square in my heart. It's like some arrow tips were dipped in different potions. Those were tricky. So most of us had some discovery to implement.

Some earlier in life arrows hit me in different regions of my body. A couple right in my temple, causing me to react by immediately hitting the eject button. Close calls when you think they could be 'the one'. I've been fortunate to connect by being shot reeeeeal close to my heart. Those are the scars that keep on giving. But...

No matter how many arrows you take before the heart shot, just don't settle. Cupid doesn't know every fucking thing. Take your time, ask questions, and most of all, listen. People will tell you exactly who they are.

Thank you for stopping in.
