Wheel of Fortune

My blog--I pull a card--if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it is for you?

I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant for you?

How to Read the Tarot

Begin by brewing a cup of tea,
a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile,
this is after all, your future.
A reading at the dark of the moon is best,
before the night creatures crawl
and bad humours fill the air.
Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif,
and no reversals.
Hold a question in your heart,
shuffle the cards and place them on the table.
Choose only two.
Like the ancient Israelites,
these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm,
black and white, yes or no.
Isn't that all you were asking?

I arrive in Taipei on the 14th. V-day did not go well last year. I have much to learn.

This is a wonderful love poem.

Me at 72 10/19/1951
I have only Just begun
Your words bleed to me
in ways I understand
corals grow so slowly
like brotherhood of man
I a three-time empty nester
Now.. I am free to play
and those visions of
tomorrows, are
no longer in my way.

Thank you. The ghost orchid is a tiny, rare orchid that I believe only grows in Florida in the Fakahatchee Swamp. Poachers try to steal it as it was once believed that consuming it caused euphoria. It likely grows in other swampy areas. There was a book and a movie called Adaptation, I believe, about it. It seemed fitting for this poem.

I like this better than some other efforts I've seen. The line breaks seem natural. Great use of imagery.

As for the moon... thin sliver of a waning crescent today, the 11th. New moon tomorrow. I've seen the moon during the day this past month. I don't remember seeing it as such when I was growing up. But then... I wonder whether the soot from the steel factories would have been an issue.

I like your choice of words, especially 'inky' and 'swamp' (a place). 'Ghost orchid' is a great image that reminds me of the white orchid (phalaenopsis?) blooming in our courtyard. I've posted pictures on bookface.

I really like this one. I don't like noisy places but silence is eerie.

Yes, war is a thief. The powerful have sought to crush any opposition. We live in pro-fascist times.
