Never setting

sun sets and moon does not

In the straight,

the sun rises and sets.

In the straight,

the moon is always is in the sky.

In the straight,

the moon moves.

In the straight,

if you look to the East you can see the sun rise.

In the straight,

if you look to the West you can see the sun set.

In the straight,

if you look to the West you can see the moon.

In the straight,

if you look to the East you can see the moon.

In the straight,

you can only see the moon move if you look the other way.

In the straight,

you need somebody else to vocalize to you that there is moon with your back is turned.

In the straight,

the sun is the only thing that moves against the water.

In the straight,

you cannot see both the moon and the sun in the same frame.

Let's go North to Alaska. Lets go South to the continental.

We try to follow the moon, but it always leads into the sun. We try to follow the moon up and down the straight.

In the straight,

things should make geometric sense.

In the straight,

boundaries and tangents do not make wonder.

In the straight,

there is a matter of time.

In the straight,

you wonder about relationships.

In the straight,

you wonder -am I the moon?

In the straight,

-am I having a relationship with the sun?

Follow the sun and the moon will follow. Where is my relationship? A visual guide to Exo planets would help. I am moving in the straight without a passing relationship.

In the straight,

cast it down.

In the straight,

you can feel the release.

In the straight,

you cannot connect, but you can only wonder and wander in the straight.

No connection, but you can wonder in the straight. You can wander North and South. You can look East and West. Maybe the straight is a tube being cut by a sphere to make a ring. Still no connection.

Land connects in your peripheral. You see water ahead of you to the North. You see water behind you to the South. The connection is a ring.

Can I cut more with this ring? Am I awake?

When the shed door is open, you may have a physic vision.

Like a splay of tarot cards, you may read the rocks.

Get those painted rocks in a box.

Undo the 2 latches of the box and cast them on the paper for this trial.

You are alone now downstairs.

Is this a situation you wear pants for?

You choose a shirt.

You cast and read the trundle.

1 rock awake.

1 agate points to a location.

2 rocks in location.

One is painted and the other is larger and graving over the line. The line is future.

Easy read. Follow the unpainted rock to the painted rock location while awake.

But, there is more to the splay. The unpainted rock is tucked under the painted rock. This allows you to see as much as you can see of the painted rock firmly in the location transect pointing to 2 moons park.

2 moons park is bad. You have hiked there before, but never awake. It is a slough to the larger river there is a tire rope swing into the slough, but no tire. There are children in the slough splashing and laughing around. They met your gaze and your thoughts move to action. You grab the rope and swing over the water from the cut bank. You don't jump off, just pendulum back to the cut bank. There is no tire ring below you.

In the straight.
