Not only was the Oracle exceptionally cryptic this morning, I was uncertain how to punctuate her message.
how is never? how is never
like a star, like a star?
its life is finite
no she said
that cannot be
but who is this voice? but who is this voice
and why? and why
are the words broken?
I wait this one out
as if the night
could bring me
its open secrets
The birdlings are always welcome, day or night.

See what I mean about question marks. Mostly they bother me, on two levels at least. But hey, I like your new circle in a square – and – I love your birds around the globe. A lot.

Thanks Neil. It certainly makes a difference where we put punctuation–perhaps question marks more than most. Of course there are multiple ways of questioning.

We both had cross purposes, two irreconcilable ways of looking at the same thing.

I just read Jane’s–it’s interesting how you both had two voices.
She seemed sort of scattered to me today, too.
I love your birdlings.

The multiple voices must mean something.
The first word the Oracle gave me today was “wait”. I think that’s a good summary of where I am right now.
The birdlings always provide a little stability. Thanks Merril.

Thanks Claudia. I always like to see the birdlings too. That’s exactly right about punctuation–it is a force in itself.

That’s so funny that you were unsure about the punctuation ~ I was thinking about just that as I was reading your piece!

Punctuation is difficult I find–at least for me. Often the slightest change can open an entire new train of thought.
