I have spent the last 8 hours (at least) beating myself up for not being more productive today. For not getting more done. For being lazy. But the fact of the matter is, I have been completely distracted. I called the vet first thing this morning because late in the day yesterday I found a lump on Puck's side. It is not insignificant. I have been with this veterinary clinic for more than 20 years and they have always been very responsive. Today, not so much. I was on call, waiting the whole day to run him over there to find out everything is ok (crossed fingers). Maybe doing my best today was not about powering through. It was not about getting it all done and making the changes I need to. Maybe today the magick was petting my cat, making sure he is not in pain, monitoring his appetite and energy and just being. I find it difficult to ever give myself that grace, but I do today because right now I am scared, I am feeling helpless and the most important thing in my life is a soul that only has me to care for him. Puck Yeah

There is something beautiful about magick that requires almost nothing. A piece of string. Your hands. An intention. A knot. Humans have been making meaning with ordinary objects for a very long time. The sacred doesn't always require special equipment.

Puck would like everyone to know that he is alive and well, but only through his superior intellect that allows him to evade detection because I was clearly trying to kill him with the vacuum.

Confirmation bias isn't just believing every crow is a message from the universe. It can work the other way too. · If you believe you're not intuitive, you may dismiss intuitive hits as coincidence. · If you believe you can't feel energy, you may ignore subtle sensations. · If you believe your magick doesn't work, you may overlook results that don't look exactly like you expected. Healthy skepticism means questioning the things you desperately want to believe. But it also means questioning the things you've already decided you can't do.
