ORPHIC HYMN 9 TO SELENE
To Selene, Fumigation from Aromatics.
Hear, goddess queen, diffusing silver light,
bull-horned, and wandering through the gloom of night.
With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide night’s torch extending,
through the heavens you ride:
female and male, with silvery rays you shine,
and now full-orbed, now tending to decline.
Mother of ages, fruit-producing Mene,
whose amber orb makes night’s reflected noon:
lover of horses, splendid queen of night,
all-seeing power, bedecked with starry light,
lover of vigilance, the foe of strife,
in peace rejoicing, and a prudent life:
fair lamp of night, its ornament and friend,
who givest to nature’s works their destined end.
Queen of the stars, all-wise Goddess, hail!
Decked with a graceful robe and amble veil.
Come, blessed Goddess, prudent, starry, bright,
come, moony-lamp, with chaste and splendid light,
shine on these sacred rites with prosperous rays,
and pleased accept thy suppliants’ mystic praise.

I still do though, anyway. I worry about how he's eating an sleeping and all that. sweatdrop
Not sure really. I do plan on catching up/finishing some games, but I don't think I can go out or anything. We're planning a party for him Sunday, so we're going to guy gifts and stuff.
I've been doing alright. Taking a break at the moment, my son's grandparents came and got him. sweatdrop
