Mermaid Food

According to myth, Poseidon the Greek god of the sea had streaming sea-blue hair and a big, manly fork. For sea-calming and fish-spearing. According to myth, the Hindu goddess Lakshmi (above) emerged from a thousand-year churning of the Milky Sea.

SO MANLY.

Back in the '80s, we used to call the little old ladies (heads barely visible above the steering wheels of their wood-paneled Oldsmobiles) the blue hairs. Now I'm aging into it. It's nicer if you call it mermaid hair.

In the story of Lakshmi, the Milky Sea's churning went on for a thousand years and it certainly feels actually like it's been going on my whole life.

But precious things are produced by churning, upheave, and irritation. Ice cream, continents and pearls. Mermaid food. So I am going to spear this sparkly pearlescent mermaid burrito with my trident which in any case is also the celestial weapon of Shiva and represents various trinities.

FABULOUS UPDO WITH MOON, SHIVA, CREATOR, MAINTAINER AND DESTROYER!
