Eye of Horus
7:29 PM, on a Monday evening. I’m waiting for diner (lentil loaf, salad, and some fresh asparagus that I am going to steam and coat with melted margarine, lemon juice, and Italian bread crumbs). Once more I am struck by the fact that: I have nothing to say.
Most of my reading about mythology is centered around Greek and Roman myths — yet, recently, I find myself increasingly interested in Egyptian mythology. Two of my favorite symbols (if you can be said to have such things as favorite symbols) are Egyptian: the Ankh and the Eye of Horus. I’m going to have to find a good book on Egyptian mythology one of these days…
And something else (totally unrelated to the above): Riesling is a tasty wine.

All were written in 1997 but, at that point, I was only identifying my journal’s entries by the time at which they were written.
