You are The Hierophant
Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.
All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.
The Hierophant’s purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant’s only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t try to understand the Great Mystery in the coming days, Taurus. Instead, *be* the Great Mystery. Don’t go with the Flow; *be* the Flow. Don’t struggle and strain to put yourself in harmony with the Creative Surge of the Divine Wow. *Be* the Creative Surge of the Divine Wow. Do you catch my drift? It has never been more important than it is now for you to be a uniter who is at one with everything and everyone you encounter. This is the time and this is the place for you to be an exhilarating and playful force of nature who’s madly in love with all of creation.
Here comes the suck.
I felt pangs of loneliness for the first time when I crawled into bed last night. They were overwhelming. They felt far more permanent than they could ever be, and thus I felt hopeless.
Depression had snuck up on me while I was watching a Eureka episode on DVD. I crawled into bed, assumed the fetal position, and wanted nothing more than someone to hold me.
There are those that have been flirting with me. Or, I’ve grossly misinterpreted standard conversation for advances. I’m fairly certain that it’s been flirting, though. Anyway, the physical comfort that might come from another’s touch is… extremely appealing, though obviously dangerous. With all of the emotional storming that’s going on inside of me, typical rebound problems are very likely. This, of course, is ignoring the fact that I’m still married. There are a lot of knots yet to be untied, and no paperwork has been filed. I’m not about to cheat on my wife.
I knew that this was coming, but I don’t think that there was a way to steel myself against it.

Two new Short Fiction additions to the site since the last Word Count.
Two Vampires : This piece has been through more revisions than any other, even The Remembrance.For a while, it was intended to be part of the Adam’s Name storyline, but I think it stands better on its own. Nicholas and Megan, two vampires who are beset upon by a tenacious hunter, follow homespun prophecy across the country, searching for their maker.
Adam’s Name – Friends Forever : Here, in a basement bar in downtown Detroit, Adam continues with his friends in their alcoholic Olympics. While trying to run from his memories of Susan and Solomon, he is once again set upon by the strange.
As always, constructive criticism and abject praise is always welcome. :)

Subjectivity and personal perception.
I realized yesterday morning that in changing the reason for our divorce, in updating it, she has fully placed the responsibility of the divorce on her shoulders.
We are getting divorced because she is unhappy with who she is with me. She has more fun as – and is more happy with – who she is without me, and who she was before me.
Am I seeing things skewed when this sounds like she has taken this decision and made it entirely her own? It seems armored from logic and from external perception and argument. It is grounded in subjectivity and personal perception. You cannot argue against those statements, except by arguing that right now, she does not know what actually makes her happy.
Tough case to make.

I need a new userpic with Buddy in it.
I woke up early, after going to bed late, so that I could take Buddy to
Not only did I accomplish that, but I got him a Gentle Leader, so I can take him out on walks. I mean, I could take him out on walks before, but he always pulls so hard on his collar that he starts choking himself. Never really notices that if he’d stop pulling, he wouldn’t be choking. So, I’ve got to watch that little instructional DVD, and then I will have less excuse not to walk, and he will get more fresh air.
Hell, -I- will get more fresh air.
For a bit, I was considering finding Buddy a good home, after I got him all up-to-date and his license renewed. Now, when I look back, I have to ask myself… what was I smoking?
Still no start date, or official acceptance of counter offer letter, or whatever, from Simply Hired. Phone conversation (not quite interview?) with a company in Ann Arbor is scheduled for Monday, and I have two unscheduled phone screenings/interviews with Yahoo early next week.
Good article.
