Today's Tarot card is:

Ten of Pentacles. "Security in family and financial life. Happiness in the home and at work. Prosperity. Inheritance. Ancestry." I can live with that!

Sheesh - who knew that the Death card I drew yesterday would turn out to be more appropriate for the new site design than for me?? There are things I like about it, and things I don't. I had to mess with my brower settings a lot before I could even figure out how to get a journal entry posted... I know they still have some tweaking to do, but it's going to take some getting used to...

Oh - it's Journal Poetry Day!! This is from "Dorothy Parker's Elbow: Tattoos on Writers, Writers on Tattoos." The poem is "To the Engraver of My Skin" by Mark Doty:

I understand the pact is mortal,
agree to bear this permanence;

I contract with limitation; I say no
and no then yes to you, and sign

--here, on the dotted line--
for whatever comes, I do: our time,

our outline, the filling-in of our details
(it's destiny that hurts, always,

not the original scheme). I'm here
for revision, discoloration; here to fade

and last, ineradicable, blue. Write me!
This ink lasts longer than I do.
