From Gothamist via “Glenda” (?)

I know a lot of you are already “over winter,” but first, just calm down. It’s winter, goddamit. Thank Jah we actually still have one. God just happens to be throwing one of God’s two-month-long winter ragers, and, apparently, we’re all required to show up. So, let’s get those Canada Goose jackets on before they end up costing $36,000, bring our A-game, and do our part.

Secondly, according to Gothamist, there’s a giant penis/Shiva lingam in Central Park right now, and it’s bhav is dependent entirely on the lasting power of our current polar vortex. So, if winter goes, so does the power of the primordial shaft.

Gothamist writes:

“The snow penis, which was apparently constructed sometime on Thursday during the snowstorm, is located in the East Green. It is one of eight designated “Quiet Zones” in Central Park, all the better to silently contemplate the vastness and vas deferens of this life.”

As I’ve written in the past, finding a Western city such as NYC “sacred,” or possessing of sacrus (is that a word???), can be difficult for the contemporary wandering urban mystic. It’s always much easier to just go to that other country over there and feel immediately spiritual. Sooooo…..

Anyone up for a pilgrimage?
