Repose

[Locked to Janus A]

Around? Got a name.

[Rafe J.]

I can't recall if I mentioned but I'm going to be out of town for most of the next month. I'm sure Zee will be fine, but all this is somewhat new to her, and I wouldn't hate knowing someone drops by occassionally, if you'd be willing.

[Separate locks to: Noah NW., Atticus M., Hannah S., Dante Z]

Leaving tomorrow for my next project; I'll be back first of July-ish.

[Audrey C.]

How are you feeling?

Summer-Haiku from "The Spice-Box of Earth" by Leonard Cohen


Silence


and a deeper silence


when the crickets


hesitate

My swordsmanship dulls. Is there place to test

Swordsmanship, does anyone practice?

[Someone has been watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, a distraction from the bumps and growls in the night.]

Did you survive, generally?

Have you had any more existential crises?

[Shortly after a memory that hits a bit too close to home.]

A,
First, you didn't feel it was necessary to warn me?
Second, how did you manage through this?
Third, I fear I need to pick your brain about something. Someone.

Let's see. Today's Tarot card is The Five of Wands.

The image on the face of the Five of Wands is one of the most straightforward in the Tarot. Although there is always room for interpretation, the five men depicted on the card are obviously in conflict.Their raised wands are not being used as weapons but are stopping them from moving forward as they clash with one another.

When this card appears upright in a reading, it calls attention to disharmony in your life. You may be engaged in mental or physical warfare with those around you. This condition brings up feelings of contempt and anger in all those involved in the fighting.

So in essence this is the ultimate conflict card. Everyone is shouting and wanting to be heard, and there are so many different opinions being thrown about. But no-one is listening. It leads to a total break-down of communication and no forward movement without people lowering their guard.

Thanks for coming to my TED (Tarot Education Divinity) Talk.
