I had my first cello lesson with Jonathan today. Veeeerrryyyy different than Julie. We spent most of the time focusing on how to properly hold the bow-- to be honest, even though I was somewhat frustrated, I'm glad we're taking baby steps. This way I won't build bad habits... I never quite learned the correct way to bow with Julie.
Afterwards, I stopped to have breakfast at a coffeeshop just around the corner from the subway. I joined a couple of local artists in their banter-- 3 older men (40s-50s) named Jerry, Jacob, and Victor. While two of them took turns drawing caricatures of one another (laughing all the while at the exaggerated features they benevolently embellished), Victor read me my horoscope from the weekly newspaper.
LIBRA
"Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul," said environmentalist Edward Abbey. The "ruin" doesn't happen all of a sudden, because of a single small failure to translate sincere intentions into good works. Rather, it's the result of a long-running laziness or passivity-- a constant inability to do what one's passions demand. If there is even a shred of this tendency in your makeup, Libra, now is an urgent time to shed it. According to my astrological analysis, you simply must carry out your soul's mandates.
He looked at me and said in a very serious tone, "You better take care of those. What are your soul's mandates, then?" I just turned to my cello, and replied cheerfully, "I think I'm doing OK."
Upon asking him what his horoscope forecast was, he said, "Beware of Libras."
