The Universe Is Toying With Me
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. Holy crap. Out of the blue, someone approached me today about a potential job. A good one. Perhaps the best Defense Department job that’s been waved in my face. Not that it’s been offered officially. This was more of a raise-the-antenna-and-feel-her-out-to-see-if-she’d-be-interested kind of thing. But…

War Energies
Communication this week is a burden. Must be Mars energy! Too much of that warrior-like aggressive behavior, too much irritation and aggravation, and people getting very antagonistic. Mercury in retrograde is all about miscommunication, but in this case, the communications are quite clear…and filled with irritation. In the past, I’ve said things gently and let…

Technology Overload!
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. Okay, I’ve been a little too plugged in. Last year, I turned down a Blackberry for email and a cell phone for the consulting part of my day job. No to the beeper, too. Pretty amazing when you consider how much I like new gadgets.…

The Man-House Meditation…Part III
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. It’s been about six weeks since my meditative work took me into the metaphysical houses of two different men. I didn’t call them to me…they called me to them, and there I was, without warning. This night, I unexpectedly find myself in one of the…

How Does the Movie End?
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. Never mind Cold Mountain. The characters in this tale are real and far more riveting than Nicole Kidman or Jude Law. In my family history, there’s a story of a simple farmer, a husband and father who fought in the Civil War. When the war…

Gaze Upon the Darkness
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. “Gaze upon the darkness,” my lover in the meditation tells me, “to better see the stars.” He’s not my lover, not on any physical plane. Yet, it’s the kind of thing a lover would say, perhaps with a brief explanation of the anatomy of the…

Intensely Personal Secrets
There are secrets I have that I will never divulge here. And there are secrets I’ve been told that I will never divulge anywhere, whether they are the secrets of those I love or of those I detest. We all keep secrets. Yes, even diarists who openly share their thoughts with friends in an effort…

Dagenium Speaks
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. Meditations come in all shapes and sizes for me, but when it’s Dagenium, I know I’ve tapped into something ancient. Dagenium is a message bringer. She stands on a small hill near its crest. A light breeze tangles her hair, sometimes pushing it into her…

The Progress of Not Expanding
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. My mentor looks at the past month and sees what I cannot. I’ve really come to appreciate her objectivity. What seems like a month when I’ve been stuck in a mud hole to spin my wheels has instead been very productive. The results, however, can’t…

Different Strokings
I meet such interesting people, and the bizarre thing is that so many of these people, I’ve known for years. I simply didn’t know that they had so many unusual and fun secrets. Case in point, the male friend from long ago who confesses that he’s a sexual submissive, 24/7. He proudly introduces me to…

Pre-emptive Strike
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. I’ve complained before that most of my married male colleagues stopped talking to me once they found out I was divorced. It’s a plague, you know? Wouldn’t want to catch that. But there’s an up side, too. From the Bookshelf Rite of Reckoning — a…

Conversations While Dozing
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. I’m half dozing but my mind is going like crazy. It just never stops. The emotions I feel are jumping all over the place, and I can’t get a fix on any of them for very long at a time. It’s someone else’s emotions, that’s…
