The birth was not overly traumatic. Leastwise I haven’t ever heard it described as such. Nonetheless, the military doctor got a grip on the baby’s head and tonged him into this world. What I have heard is that, possibly, the doc was not adept with the forceps. In any case, a scar was left on the right side of the newborn’s head, just above and behind the temple. Not so much a scar as a bald spot where hair would never grow. The toehead’s blonde strands would soon hide this mark. If it wasn’t for the father’s keen pension for administrating the buzz cut, no one would have ever noticed.
I came back this time, arriving on the final day of Capricorn, as I have repeated- “wih Aqaurius rising”. I always felt compelled to add this despite having no knowledge of the astrological charts. I have no slick segway to get to the rest and here is why. I have always been slightly amazed at others recalling distinct memories at ages two or younger. Personally, I’m quite sure I don’t remember anything until the first grade. The earlier stuff seems to be repeated family folklore rather than etched memory. One story from the folklore files has taken on possibly deeper or darker meanings and may indeed also explain my toddler amnesia.
The family was living in Pasedena, Texas, were my father had moved us in order to attend the University of Houston. At this point, I was the only offspring around, my oldest sister would be coming into this plane a little later. I was apparently visiting the home of a neighbor girl of the same age. The moms had left us to play by ourselves. Though it seems contrary to motherly instncts, my first guess would be to say that they had left us in the garage. Here’s why. At some point, the innocent pink clad devil picked up a hammer and unleashed her best three year old roundhouse to my skull.
The “no accidents” clause written into the constitution of the Universe, leaves me no other conclusion than this act was an assisination attempt. Our three year old femme fatale being under the influence or completly possessed by a higher density “service to self” extraterrestrial with the dastardly mission of eliminating this young wanderer from this particular incarnation.
What else can I think? Is there another possible rational explanation?
Sure, one can conjure up senarios such as: Maybe I wasn’t playing the game she wanted to play, or; Maybe I had inadvertently grabbed a toy that she wasn’t into sharing. On the surface, these plot inventions would seem plausible, but these are merely alibies and cover-ups for a much darker motive.
A golf-ball knot was raised on your narrator’s forehead, the mom’s were freaked, and I wasn’t allowed to nap for a while. But as you can tell this wanderer lives on. The assassination plot had failed, but the assassin in the the three year old third density human costume escaped undetectected into the hot sticky Pasedena night.
Love and Light,
