Mortal, fear to go out tonight
For Feery Folk more dark than bright
Do rade abroad with ghostly light;
The long straight tracks are theirs by right!

Mortal, I counsel you stay at home
For Feery Folk do more than roam
They steal the unwary 'neath the loam
Or 'neath the sea all crowned in foam!

But mortal, if you would the Power gain
It's you must pass with the Feery train
For it's union with What's Below that sains
And fans to shining the mortal Flame!

(Now I know why alcoholic beverages were so often considered sacred. I get what I consider my best when I am very, very slightly intoxicated... just enough to disable the "censor" but still leave language intact (and enough motor skills to type, lol, though I wouldn't dare try to drive)).

1. Do you trust your instincts?
Occasionally, but it's hard to say because I don't often get instinctual impulses in the first place.

2. Get up and go or plan, plan, plan?
Plan, plan, plan.

3. Do you ask for directions when you are lost or do you keep on going?
Keep on going, but I carry maps. It's not that I don't wan't help, I just don't want to talk to strangers.

4, Right now: do you know which way is east?
Yes. *points behind self*

5. If a tree falls in the woods, and no one hears it -- did it make a noise?
Yes. (Zen Buddhism isn't my thing.)

(There once was a man who said, "God
Must find it incredibly odd
That the juniper tree
Just ceases to be
When there's no one about in the Quad."

Dear Sir, your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the Quad.
So the juniper tree
Continues to be
Observed by--
     --Yours faithfully,
     God.)
