Aretha Franklin

Queen of Soul

Odd poems

Ahem...

Each night Uncle fills me with dread,
When he sits at the foot of my bed.
I'd not mind that he speaks
In gibbers and squeaks,
But for seventeen years he's been dead.

-Edward Gorey

Thanks to folks who have donated enough to pay for a ($60/month) server through the end of November, we have a new server to move to. It's a Linode 1080 virtual private server (http://www.linode.com/?r=e83e73c0bd162890dec69b2ad4a039002de84fb2).  It will take time to set up and secure. And Bob's machine will have to come back up so if we are to get the last 4 years worth of messages and modified board software off of it.  But we have a start.

that's great news:)

I wish we could Cry

wishing well

Bob has confirmed the server is dying. I'm hoping it will come back (and stay up while I'm here and wake) so I can backup about a gig of databases and code off of it. Sad

yikes that was fast, it seems like. The server discussion thread has only been going about a week now, right? Drag Sad

Like Tana, this is pretty much the only way I use my cards. Well, the insight part anyway, I also use them for insight into situations around me. I find it hard to imagine how the cards could show me anything about the future beyond what they can tell me about the present (which in turn helps me to figure out what may happen in the future). When I am just stumped on something, or life has me all tied up in knots, my cards help me to untangle it all and find a solution.

 yep me too. I use pendulums and stones to talk to spirits sometimes, or to look for things or people. But for asking about my own future, I have learned it's usually better if I get someone else to read the cards. I am pretty good at reading for other people, but if I read for my own future, I tend to get stuck in my head and go around in circles, as Aionia alluded to, in her post on the fore sight thread. The only exception to this for me is the I Ching, which is really direct with me, if I take the time to form a really clear question.

Ah, newlyweds. Smiley...Take it from someone who's married for 17 years: it only gets better!

Oh I'm glad to hear that, b/c we had our 15th anniversiary last month and I'm afraid "better" is not the way I would describe it at all; more complicated and pretty interesting, lots of fun, in some ways, but better-definitely, not so much .
Our first two anniversiaries were awesome, though. And this last one was just fine, for sure.

But congrats, Juniper, for sure, I am really glad that you are in such a wonderful place in your marriage. It's truly a blessing Smiley

I hold no stock in attempting to predict the future ills or fortunes which may befall you, or society, in the future, I’ve done it. There is nothing on this earth which could convince me it’s a worth while pursuit for anyone less than the stark, raving mad, or attention hungry. It will only frustrate any attempts at one’s own abilities to enjoy what time we do have upon this planet.  It was at one point, until very recently, it was a major part of my life.

if you are trying to control the future by just seeing it, yes, that's a very frustrating and silly pastime. When I do divination, the future presents to me as a set of possibilities, none of them are absolutes. There are many threads, many tributaries, that all lead to whatever it is that you are trying to see, and my or other people's choices almost always screw things up, or at any rate change them some. I always think of looking at the future, particularly the deep future, as trying to use field glasses to look around the bend in a river-sometimes you can see a part of something that you need to know about, but until you get closer you it's hard to tell if it's a boulder in the middle of the stream, or the edge of  a waterfall. You can make some very good guesses, you can inform your choices by getting an understanding of what's ahead, but ultimately you can only act in the moment you're in as best you can. But that hardly makes divination a worthless pursuit. It's an excellent tool for choice making, and self-analysis, and yes, future prediction.
