 |  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?  |
| Father's Day He doesn't know it's Fathers Day or that I am "the daughter". There is a lacuna in the place where I should be. I pour Cointreau in our teacups for courage and pull up Charlie Haden's Song of the Whales on my phone. His shelves and tables are littered with driftwood and shells from shores he has known. I hand him a rough, weathered totem and ask, "Can you show me how the water moves?'. Slowly, cautiously he moves the talisman: Up, down, circles, spirals, a figure eight for eternity For this Sunday driftwood and whale song is the medicine we need.   19 lines 106 words Prompt: Free write about Father's Day Pholarchos Tarot--Seven of Wings--How will you use the wings you have woven? |

And I absolutely love getting a glimpse into how people's minds & inspiration work - who'd've thought you'd end up with a lovely piece about a bird from a picture of a restaurant 
This is the type of free verse that in my opinion suits Shadows & Light.
