Communication is always just a bit spotty with me; I probably try to be in too many places at once and become disenchanted with the reality that I must choose one at a time. (Honestly? How archaic! Aren't we all telepathic yet? You mean I can't just imagine where I want to be and be there? You call this multitasking? I digress.) Nonetheless, that's how this whole linear time / Earth experience goes, and so I'll respect it. ( ... begrudgingly.)

Unfortunately, that means threads slip my mind or attention, comments become lost in a jumble, and, if I'm having a particularly complicated day (where I can't quite get the words right) the whole of it goes pear-shaped. And then I'm contemplative, a bit pensive -- even a little (gasp!) maudlin, and more likely to do a lot of reading, thinking, and then more thinking.

This is a friendly way of saying, if you've been trying to reach me for, oh, the past 6 months -- we'll even make it a year -- then I regret to inform you that things may have got lost in the shuffle, and it was never, ever my intention for that to happen.

I do intend to collect threads which mention me, or have addressed me directly, so that I can respond in a systematic fashion. Truth is, yes, I am very busy! But I also enjoy this forum more than you know and it's really more things like, oh, tURA opposite my SUN (0º!) tSATURN (as aforementioned) and everything goes just a bit wonky this time of year, when the tSUN is going through TAU and GEM, as it hits my CHIRON ( ... ouch) and illuminates a lot of my Draco points. I find myself extremely thoughtful, having moments of feeling completely unable to articulate much, and being very, very absent-minded.

So. Do know that you're all very loved and appreciated, and it's my honour to take this grand journey with you.

Bear with me at times, yeah? And my email can be a bit strange, too, so if I drop off out of nowhere, know that it does not have to do with you. Likely a wire got crossed somewhere, my sometimes-overeager spam filtre upgraded its appetite from 'peckish' to 'voracious' (it happens, much to my chagrin) or -- as it is not completely unheard of -- I meant to reply, and it got lost in the shuffle. In that case, send another along just to make sure I've not fallen down a wormhole, or rabbit-hole or something. You know. 'Metaphorically' speaking.

We're good now, yes? Great! (If not, please let me know. Seriously!)
