joyfinderheroClearly I have a question to formulate about this Memoir project -- and clearly, I don't have the question clarified yet. What is the best way to approach it? How will the process go? What pitfalls will occur during the process? I don't yet know what to ask.
Similarly I want to ask about memory loss, cognitive decline, whatever you want to call it. Also diet -- should I be eating more protein? Starting again with vitamin supplements? Is my current perception of cognitive decline caused by diet? or age? or what? Is any of that a 'divination' question?
I want to ask about the future of the nation, but that seems far too murky to begin to unravel.
I want to ask if this polarization will worsen, and how will the current boil be lanced? Political argument at present reminds me a lot of the family shouting matches and tantrums of my family of origin -- how they would continue to escalate until someone released the tension by storming out of the room and slamming the door, or bursting into tears and crying themselves to sleep. What's the national equivalent of that?
I want to ask about the future of friendships -- how will we work through divisions about which party to vote for, whether to get vaxxed and boosted or not, is it immoral to go about without a mask, how should the government protect which folks? How will we ever come together about any of that?
Back in 2006 I wrote what I wanted from the next set of elections, and a lot of it is what I still want. I notice I'm afraid to ask any divination technique about this -- am I afraid I won't read accurately because of my own biases, fears, desires? Am I afraid it will unequivocally tell me something I don't want to know?
