From today's reading, I wonder, "Whom Should I Thank?" for reconnecting to all the many gains we, Spiritual Kin Study Group, have collectively achieved. In tandem, we endure, nevertheless, a loneliness and period of uncertainty during which we are bound by the principles of our mission to remain open and aware, respectful of those with whom we disagree, and equally respectful of ourselves in the exchange with those who would dismiss us in an expeditious attempt to truncate the process. So obtuse and self-possessed are they in their comfort zone that they are blind to the reactionaries now determined to sabotage their cruel advance. Where they believe themselves to be "powerful" they are Goosed by those honking from behind, to discover that they are, instead, corralled in a blind canyon of their own invention wherein they are neatly, safely and irresistibly contained by those actual powers ensconced, not by the willing, but by the convinced.
The spread, "Three Fates," synthesizes the scan of the Past/Present/Future as deliverance, returning the response to the inquiry, rather than the answer to the question.
The left card represents an important element of the past. Knight of Swords, when reversed: The dark essence of air behaving as fire, such as a tornado: A merciless and skillful warrior, unfettered by emotion or conscience. A nihilist who can refuse not even the most insurmountable of challenges. A person who inspires fear and hate through their domineering nature and the power of their presence. Speaking without tact or tolerance, in a sarcastic manner. May portend the swift initiation or conclusion of conflict, through the calamitous invocation of force.

In the two weeks since the encounter with Jim Burn, State Chair, I have been driven to the depths of the whirlpool of disorientation, and find myself being launched back to airspace where I may live and breathe free of what I must credit the Facade for describing as: "the swift initiation or conclusion of conflict, through the calamitous invocation of force" with aforementioned self-respect. I am reassured that the "mistake" was mine, for failing to convey to my esteemed colleague, my unwillingness to sustain further breach of that vault wherein my Family of fellows preserve their learned, evolved skills. I would be remiss in my service to the registered Democrats of Butler County were I to permit Chairman Burn to approach the circuitry of our procedures with Table d'hôte when the consideration of all views brought to the table are de rigueur.
Practical matters left unattended by those so impatient to take up the Lamp of Leadership, they were neither qualified nor willing to serve, pursuing the position, unaware of the sphere of contributors hovering in waiting to attend to all that. As with Energies of all natures, those culled for securing and stabilizing the All found their bliss. In their mutual company, they applied discipline and nobility to the maintenance and eventual development of the refined structure they now survey. Arcs support a cantilever-aged deployment of natural and sustainable force present in our midst. From the past, we resurrected the fulfillment of those challenges met and mastered discovering that the familiar lent itself to confidant exchange among our proven, tested best.
