Always Turning

John Renbourn : Three Pieces by O'Carolan

John Renbourn / Robin Williamson: Wheel of Fortune

She turned back to the cards and tapped the Ace of Cups.
You're on the verge of a new beginning, a rebirth of great power and emotion. Your life will change, but it will be change that takes you in the direction that, while difficult, will ultimately illuminate the world.
Whoa, I said.
Rhonda then pointed to the Empress. Power and leadership lie ahead of you, which you will handle with grace and intelligence. The seeds are already in place, though there's an edge of uncertainty--an enigmatic set of influences that hang around you like a mist. Her attention was on the Moon as she said those words. But my overall impression is that those unknown factors won't deter you from your destiny.
Lissa's eyes were wide. You can tell that just from the cards?

After several moments
of heavy silence, she said,
You will destroy
that which is undead.
I waited about thirty seconds
for her to continue,
but she didn't.
Wait, that's it?
Her eyes flickered
over the cards,
looked at Dimitri,
then looked back at the cards.
Her expression was blank.
You will lose
what you value most,
so treasure it while you can.
She pointed to
the Wheel of Fortune card.
The wheel is turning,
always turning.
