I admire anyone with the guts (or stamina or level of insanity or whatever it takes) to get up in front of others and read your work or perform ...
About me: Lately, I've been into finding wisdom wherever I can ... fortune cookies, bumper stickers, random words, snippets of conversation, bathroom walls, graffiti ... whatever, wherever, whenever ...
Also, questions: I am searching for questions much more so than answers. As far as I can see, there are already too many people who think they know the answers (which I have found to be very dangerous), I am searching for people who are trying to find the questions (which I have found to be very difficult) ... When did we stop asking questions? Anybody?
Ah well ... may you find some peace in the chaos, some wisdom in the whirlwind, & some wonder in the world.

The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
Undecided, open-minded, slightly bored, introspective individuals or anyone, really, who's got a bit of wisdom, wonder or general whimsy to throw my way ...
