Sign of the Devil
A L O H A !
Marin County, California
“Whenever the devil harasses you,
seek the company of men or drink more,

to spite the devil.”

This blog is
for me a
mystical experience.
It is connection.
It is meaning.
It is YOU
and me.
When I found the
Van Morrison lyric,
and placed it under

I cried a little bit.
It felt so perfect!
Silly Me.
Silly You.
