"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

Destinata

Sometimes, no matter how much you would rather it be otherwise, the Fates are insistent that something unpleasant is in store. You can try to bargain, or plead, or witch your way out, but the Fates are having none of it. In that case - forewarned being forearmed and all that - you can hope  that it comes quickly and that things will be better when it's done.

If you are really lucky, in spite of obstinate Fate, you'll have a goddess at your shoulder to push you out of the way. To peek at the other players' cards when life seems like a game.

I'm really lucky.

Thank the Goddess.
