Stange experience.

I made a pit stop this afternoon at the liquor store. The man behind the counter was staring at my chest. This, I’m used to. As I’m paying for my [desperately needed] Sugar-free Red Bulls, he says to me:

“That’s from the Key of Solomon.”

I realize that I’m wearing a t-shirt that I made ages ago that has one of the sigils of Venus on it.

“Yes, it is.”

“That is a symbol of Venus.”

“Yes…”

“Do you study the Kabbalah?”

“Yes, I do.”

“The Kabbalah will teach you to be a good person. If you are a good person, you will be happy. The Kabbalah teaches us all how to be happy.”

I was so taken aback by this unexpected conversation that I simply stammered ‘thank you…’

He said, “Have a beautiful day. The sun is shining. You’ll be happy soon.”

I thanked him again, and then I left.

It’s been a strange day.
