I went into a psychic's storefront off Lincoln blvd in Venice and as soon as my eyes met hers she acted like she saw a ghost. Not in a bad way I guess, but as if she had seen me before as part of some consequential encounter.

It was with that first impression we sat down and she tried to make sense of who I was. I had been to a psychic once before and from that mostly came to the conclusion that commercial psychics were a load of rubbish.

And with that previous experience in mind I was barely listening when she started to say,

“in another lifetime you were in a very intense relationship with this famous singer. You were the creative emperors of Laurel Canyon in a way and she sung about your love for the whole world to hear. You may not realize it but her songs changed the course of a many lives. Even subconsciously her music shifted what millions of people thought of love, transcendence and their purpose on this planet. A couple of those people she impacted were my parents. I am not even sure they would have met without her. In a way her music about you helped create me.”
