Farewell Flaming June

Yes this month was 🔥

Is this pretty thing really that bad?

Speaking of flaming, I really wanna fix the UI of that I-ching.net site 🤦

🔥🔥 Fire ascends above the Water:

Too anxious the young fox gets his tail wet, just as he completes his crossing.

Situation Analysis:

Resist the rush to completion. Anticipation of fulfillment may cause you to be careless before you have fully absorbed the lessons of the journey. The endpoint of this Quest will only prove to be the threshold for another. You are short steps from Mastery on this plane, yet you stride toward Ignorance of the challenges lying beyond.

Savour this accomplishment. Fully Become. Take full possession of your world before embarking to discover the next one. That voyage begins soon enough, and you will reminisce about this one.  These are the Good Old Days.

June really was 🔥. Met a friend from a former life and went on a foodie trip and drinks around Camden and Kentish Town, celebrated family and friends’ birthdays, took some UK Citizenship and language tests then decided to not apply after all (for now) then had some really lethargic days. Then I saw Kim Gordon with a friend at Koko in Camden and felt alive again.

Eyelash curler, vibrator, teaser, bye bye, bye bye……..[In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! Stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me, and despair!]

Working on stuff I was able to learn at short notice and am kinda proud of (in an every-little-helps-sort-of-way) but I can’t talk about.

I wish I weren’t so ChatGPT-dependent.

And I'll keep hoping you are the same as me
And I'll send you letters and come to your house for tea
We are who we are, what do the others know?
But poetry is not for me, so show me the way to go (home)
