Venus Child Has a New Venture

I really don't know what good could come of this post, but here goes, because this blog exists to bear witness. I first met Venus Child when she was 19 on an undisclosed island off the coast of Maine, where we were both working in restaurants for the summer. Good people, what a trip, this young lady was! It is suffice to say, she made my summer magic on that island. We would walk and walk in the moors, and I would talk and talk. Probably should have listened more. We made several attempts to connect again, but alas, I was off chasing castles in Spain, and being ahead of her time, Venus Child was opening one of the first *organic health food stores* smack dab in the middle of urban Philadelphia. I never really talked to her again until recently, as she reports this new business venture from Colorado Springs, Colorado, again ahead of her time on the healing arts side of things. Venus Child reports that 35 years later, she has lyrically moved in and out of mainstream to fringe. And of course, being endowed with that good double Scorpio/Persephone style (gotta love that guy Hades!) 'cause when it ain't dark in Venus Child town it is LIGHT LIGHT LIGHT!! (I usually just straight out plagiarize, but in this case Venus Child wrote that last line about herself!)

She started off  taking WEED GROWING 101, in a friend's basement in Colorado, to learn the biz, for the pot tourism business that is surely to come, after they legalized it there.

 

What a 13 and change inch main cola..not bad for a newbie! 

 

So Venus Child cut all the buds off. 

 

Two weeks later, they are dried 

 

 

Added a little orange peel, and she is on her way to her own shop! Anybody out there want to invest?

Now the funky side is the only thing Venus Child has EVER been, and now she is so far down the rabbit hole that she is literally in another dimension.(Also wrote that about herself!) So here I am raising a toast to Venus Child of yesterday and today, on a snowy late winter night, cleaning my connections to everything around me...on the funky side... GOT TO SAY HEY...GOT TO SAY HO...GOT TO SAY HI!
