mysteries of the wort

I don't know if I have mentioned this previously but 2006 has been a very St John's Wort year for me, and I have made a lot of progress on this unusual drug. It has apparently prevented me from becoming very angsty many times. So blissed out was I incidentally that I basically stopped taking it for the last week or so and did not even notice that I had stopped taking it and then yesterday got that old state of unease back which was not pleasant but I now regard it as interesting more than anything because St John and his Wort have made me realise that in fact it is not necessarily related directly to reality. So here I am not imbibing so much wort and feeling OK about it, and living proof that mind-altering substances are just plain cool.
