I dreamt of a life well lived, and how it was taken from them.

There's more than one kind of witch, but I promise that I'm the kind you'd like to have around. There's another kind, however, that is unlike me in kind but I think you'll find is just as rare, and just as tempestuous. I like to think I am good aligned, perhaps not "good" as in "capable" but "good" as in "benevolent" and "perhaps" as in "unknowable" and "but" as in "desired" and "desired" as in "what I work toward because it's the right thing to do" and "work toward" as in "realized according to the effects of my actions not just by my intentions" The other kind of witch is the kind that hurts people. There are many reasons why you might find yourself in the house of such a witch, but all of them are caused by your desire. Take care in the house of a witch such as this, and stay no longer than your time allows. If you find what you're looking for, get out. If you're almost out of time, get out. If you lost something, find it, and then get out. If you run out of time, and things start to "smear", yell out loud your social security number. If someone's trying to save you, it'll help them know where to put you when you are returned to your body. I'm sorry to say, but if things start to smear then life will get a little bit strange. Just a little. Much better to get out beforehand. If you find yourself tempted while inside a witch's house, abandon what you lost because regaining it comes with a cost. If you lose sight of your friend, then when you see them again you cannot trust that they are who they claim to be, not inside of the witch's house. If you lose sight of your friend, trust that they will get out by their own hand, and find what you want and go home. Unless, of course, your heart is pure, and your friend is what you want back in your life again. Then you will trend toward finding them yet again, so find what you want and get out. They will try to keep you there, through inaction and professed exhilaration, but generally they'll do what you command. So take them and get out. There are many reasons why you might find yourself on the path to a witch's house, but none of them are to be repeated. It's more of a life event and less of a venture, so take what you want and go forth. If you find yourself in my house, take a cookie or a brownie, and please do come again. The house of a witch such as mine is somewhere you'll probably find that love and affection are fonder. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/132 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── Man, who has the audacity to look at the breadth of the universe and say "is that all?" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/133 ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── We should dedicate ourselves toward making a life out in space - medium term goals. In the meantime we should advance as quickly as possible, at a rate that earth can support. Anyone who would demand more is an outcast in our eyes, a brutal denial of our future children's defile [meaning of "future life lived as they will] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
