TGIF- Friday the 13th, lost its charm!

Filed under: Observances, Poetry, Royals by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment
August 13, 2021

You do not have to be afraid of Friday the 13th, why? Because its lost its charm to the fear of the unknown and gained by the liberty of the experienced and the prowess of the wise. Superstition is done, cause and effect is 98 percent explained. That leaves 2 percent for me ( how to win the heart of a fair lady) can someone explain in 3 paragraphs or less. That would end all wondering about phenomena.

Sometimes known as date night Fridays must be excused from the 13th’s energy and success with the smarter gender still needs a real world reason; or not. Who can explain love? No sensei trying unless maybe a wise God has given us a scientific control. But that can’t be ,as love is not an experiment , it is a power.

However in the clinical sense they have terms: Love sick, , Love struck, Amour de la malade and any other that might fit symptoms of that funny feeling! If indeed the term lucky in love should retain its meaning then what? Well lets bar Friday the 13th by statute, as superstition!

Good luck to you and to blazes with superstition and bad luck: click below for playlist.
