Karsh Writes

Enjoy the gift

From today's Pisces horoscope from Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology:

Can you compel acts of grace to intervene in your destiny? Can bursts of divine favor be summoned through the power of your will? Some spiritual scholars say, “Absolutely not.” They claim life’s wild benevolence arrives only through the mysterious tides of fate — impossible to solicit and impossible to predict. But other observers, more open-minded, speculate that your intelligent goodness might indeed attract the vivid generosity of cosmic energies. I bring this up because I suspect you Pisceans are either receiving or will soon receive blessings that feel like divine favor. Did you earn them, or are you just lucky, or some of both? It doesn’t matter. Enjoy the gift.

A medium shot of a Black man with a well-groomed beard and mustache, wearing a black baseball cap with a red and orange phoenix logo, black over-ear headphones, and clear-framed glasses. He is dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt under a dark jacket with a textured collar, looking slightly upward with a concerned or bewildered expression, his mouth slightly agape. The background consists of warm, vertical wood paneling separated by thin silver metallic strips, suggesting the interior of an elevator. The lighting is even and soft, giving the image a clean, cinematic feel that captures a moment of quiet tension or unexpected surprise.

A graceful, manageable explosion

From today's Pisces horoscope from Rob Brezsny's Free Will Astrology:

In systems theory, “critical points” are moments when long periods of small changes gradually accumulate, and then suddenly erupt into a big shift. Nothing appears to happen for a while, and then everything happens at once. Ice becomes water, for instance. I suspect you’re nearing such a pivot, Pisces. You’ve been gathering strength, clarity, and nerve in subtle ways. Soon you will be visited by what we might call a graceful, manageable explosion. The slow, persistent changes you’ve been overseeing will result in a major transition.

Sunday Asides #84

A blonde woman with a serious, intense expression looks over her shoulder toward another person whose back is to the camera, creating a sense of tension or suspicion. She is wearing a dark garment with a bold gold and blue baroque pattern, and her hand rests on a tablet propped up on a white countertop. The tablet displays a news segment from "CBS Mornings" featuring a woman in a red suit with the headline, "Anita Dupree Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis." The scene has the polished, high-definition look of a television drama, characterized by shallow depth of field and soft interior lighting that emphasizes the dramatic and somber mood of the interaction.

It's my birthday month! And it's time for the next entry in my 9x9 Greek alphabet grid puzzle series.

I really thought I was cooking on my delta puzzles from a couple weeks ago, but the lie detector test proved that was a lie. Oof! You try to step out the box and do something a little different, and this is what happens. Ah well. It was a good challenge for me and I learned a lot in the process, so it's still a win in my book.

For the rest of y'all though...I made an itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie, widdle-biddy kiddie puzzle that you can easily solve! Okay, I'm joking -- it's not a kiddie puzzle, but it is smaller than usual. a 7x7 inside of a 9x9 grid. Who said crosswords had to go edge to edge in a grid?
