Today this woman called our information desk and said, “my son’s band is playing tonight. I want to come see him, but he never answers his phone…..I want to be there. Have you heard anything about his band?”

And I felt so bad for this lady but I’m not in the music scene around here so I had to tell her no, sorry.

Five hours later, I’m hiking and run into a group of guys setting up for some outdoor performance, and as I watch them unload the drums it hits me.

“Hey,” I said, “are y’all in a band?”

They said yeah and smiled and I told them “one of your moms called today. She wants to watch you play, but she can’t get a hold of you. Call your mom.”

And they all pulled out their phones and started discussing whose mom it probably was as they presumably dialed their own.

And now, unless we meet again and recognize each other, that’s who I’ll be forever to those guys–some mysterious courier for mom-messages who came out of the woods and told them their mom called.

I didn’t even tell them why their mom called me. Who am I to their mom?? Nobody even asked. They just took my word for it and called their mothers.

"Good Morning, Rose"

In terms of which is better when? I put a little money into both, which idk probably isn't Perfect Money Handling, but it does mean I have options later whenever I decide to use it. If you don't plan on staying with your current job, those accounts don't disappear, and some companies will merge your old accounts into new ones too. I don't understand this shit perfectly but I do know I'd rather pay some of those taxes now rather than be hit with a big tax bill in 10-20 years when I decide to take money out, and that's all I've really got figured out

Okay the Magic of the thing is not the objects themselves. Don't mistake the book for the words on the page. The thing that makes Tarot magic is not the actual cards themselves, it is the history and system instantiated in the cards.
