ESTEE: Please send us some rain; fire danger here in California is extreme.

I am immediately sending rain in a southerly direction --- and positive vibes!

I can sense it already, ESTEE!

Many thanks,

She could not have made a more simple request: kindly let me alone. Of course, Polly was far too polite and cultured to speak her mind. Her thoughts never formed into any wordy protestation that should actually escape the lips. Rather, when accosted by garrulous old men or biddies, she would find herself seized by a trifling indisposition, most likely triggered by some subconscious survival instinct. Consequently, by the mere lowering of her eyes, she spirited herself away to an imagined location of tranquil repose. Perhaps she might avert her glance to a feigned object of interest in the middle ground. The harmless but unwelcomed interlopers ceased to exist.

Polly hated rudeness most passionately and knew that these kindly old folk were, in general, of cheery and lovely disposition; however, as you and I both know all too well, some people are quite unaware of the tempest brewing as they noisily and lustily chat one up no matter the "weather."

I hasten to add that we must see to the emotional well-being of our dear Polly. She is a fragile flower whose blossom must be permitted neither to fade nor - God forbid - to become blasted.

Special thanks to Ms Von Arnim and M Barnes, for their inspiration.

I can see clearly now - five words could not be more groaningly cliched but still perfectly true. My friends on JWD took my Sunday beyond the phase of being slightly endurable: they made it a delight.

Determined to start Father's Day not with impossible expectations but with realistic hopes of avoiding the morass of self-pity, I found that my yesterday's ONLINE WITH JWD was just the ticket. My seeing clearly, i.e., a brighter perspective, is a result of my taking reponsibility for past behaviors and religious stances. I cannot expect family members who followed my lead in "the Truth" to comprehend my new life without some puzzlement and sense of abandonment.

It has occurred to me that this entire issue of major life changes isn't just about me - it's a dynamic that affects, either adversely or beneficially, all those in my circle ...

Thank you, my friends.

Love,

CoCo

Horoscope horrors

ESTEE

Speaking of horror-scopes, here is mine today:

If you are looking for one of the more bizarre weeks of the entire year, it's just arrived with a vengeance. By Friday June 20, the center of the solar system (the Sun) and the outer regions of our celestial home (Pluto) will form their annual polarity on the day of the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. This extreme energy-field is preceded by Mercury shifting into direct motion on Thursday morning June 19. However, as early as tomorrow night, Venus opposes Pluto followed by an awkward, 150-degree tie between Mars and Uranus on Wednesday night June 18. Even though all these celestial events are going to happen in the near future, they are also all approaching their exactitude today. In the field of astrology, any closely approaching alignment actually has an impact now as well as when it is precise. Therefore, if you are feeling unusually burdened and overwhelmed with worry or responsibilities that are difficult to handle, chalk it up to the potency of celestial alignments about to manifest in the coming days. Meanwhile, the Moon leaves void status at 2:21AM PDT and happily enters Sagittarius. It's a good day to aim your arrows of idealism and devotion toward genuine goals in the realms of education, literature and publishing. Sports and outdoor adventures regain the limelight. A Mars-Juno trine in fire signs (8:33AM PDT) is another positive signal that love vibrations are shifting in frequency to a higher level. Be more fashion-conscious as style and grooming can be the difference between a promotion or stagnation in your chosen profession and work environment. Let the good times roll at an evening party or get-together with like-minded friends.

Glad that Mercury retrograde is nearing another round of completion!

Charles and Wilma Dexter-Hayes had brought three beautiful children into this world: Billy, the eldest, Polly, the middle child, and, nearly ten years after the birth of Polly, Rosemarie.

Polly's fragile state (mentioned earlier) was due in large measure to heavy and tragic losses - losses greater than any naturally affectionate family member should be expected to endure. Both the youngest and the eldest children predeceased Charles and Wilma at the midway point of their otherwise happy domestic life. Hardly had the family come to terms with the devastating blow of losing the plump and golden-haired toddling babe to a childhood illness than the nineteen-year old Billy was killed in a freak accident while hiking a mere distance from the family home.

Polly's losing a precious little one who adored her and a big brother who protected her was, of itself, sufficient cause to unhinge this devoted young lady. Here, though, is the rub. Charles, ever the stalwart gentleman - in every sense of the word - turned dark inside, as though he were a light switched off. He ceased virtually all communication with Polly and her mother, but for a few grunts or gestures to indicate what his stricken soul refused to conjure up verbally. Wilma, scarcely able to deal with the loss of her babies, suffered a complete collapse of mind and spirit. Accordingly, she was taken in by a kindly maiden aunt who, despite her age, was in robust health and sensitive to the plight of her ailing niece.

Polly's world of loving and being loved came to a severe and abrupt halt. Who is to warn one of what such black clouds looming on the horizon portend to mean? If one should know their meaning - and it is of a terrible significance - can one prepare oneself for the onslaught that marches inexorably and cruelly toward one's certain annihilation?

The Fates demanded of Polly that she leave behind the carefree innocence of youth and become schooled prematurely in the bitter reality of adult life.

Today: a wondrous and rare day, this crackling-hot June morsel!

What I had once grieved over as forever lost has today been restored, yet in measure far surpassing my simplest expectation.

Once again I can believe ...

Thank you, oompa, for sharing your day. A day without incident?

Do you know Eppu Normaali? He was slipped through the slot after business hours.

Wishing the best for you and your family.
