Haiku for Magpie Tales

Tess Kincaid at Magpie Tales offers an enigmatic image each week for a prompt bound to draw words from writers. This is #67, Banquet Scene with a Lute Player by Nicolas Tournier, 1625.

R for ABC Wednesday

Retromancy is divination by looking over one's shoulder.


Is this like reading life in a rear view mirror where you review regret or warnings in time to avoid them?

Or could you see what you're going to do? I've been trying to decide whether to write another book, paint a large painting or take a nap. After all, it IS still raining here and it's cold, to boot.

Using retromancy, maybe I could see what I was going to do and remove some of the hardcore stress of decision making.

At any rate, I find this concept rather rattling.

What's your take on retromancy?

Too big to fail?

Are we too big to fail? A bit of tongue-in-cheek in light of recent days:



virtual shouting


spotted on the me channels

halts ingress/egress

twit*er, blog*ger and face*ook

black holes scoop up the landlocked

 
 
 

 
 

A fractal image.
