Hagitude
Another Santa Fe, NM bookstore find. Same shopping trip, perusing the stacks, as it were. While I’m not a woman, I understand the nature of the invisible woman, an age where things get more transparent.
Whether it is literary in nature, or, more likely, my continued interest in astrological cycles, any clues that help other people might also help me. It’s about defining the final chapters of life, and what works.
“The Furies could only be placated with ritual purification, and the completion of a task specifically assigned by them for atonement.” Page 16.
The Fates and the Furies.
“Is being a true hag about being able to wear the power of your weirdness comfortably?” Page 73.
Questions.
“Some happenings can’t so easily be dismissed. They are not mere coincidences, but rather what Jung called synchronicities: statistically improbable experiences or circumstances that appear to an individual to be meaningfully related, but which lack an obvious causal connection.” Page 80.
After a certain age, what it seems like to me, as originally pointed out in the book with the same title, Invisible Women, the fiction made me aware of the problem of perception, but what’s always happened, with me, is I’ve paid attention to the invisible people. I am not the standard, and that means I’m not a good standard to go by.
