My book of short stories, Stories From the Other Eye, is now available in Kindle and hardcover, on Amazon. (Also, maybe, Indigo?) These stories were written over a 50-year period. I’m amazed at how much they charge for it — twice as much on the Canadian Amazon as on the U.S. site. And don’t be surprised if the Canadian gov’t slaps on a $ 2 duty. I had no say in setting the price, and don’t know who did it…
Now I see somebody just boosted the price of my book even more, to $48 Canadian. That’s robbery. If you buy my book and send me the receipt, I’ll refund you $ 20. Offer good for 2 months, or whenever I can get them to lower the price. (Or you could just order on the American Amazon site for half the price!)

Last week I continued my suspicion that there must be something faster than light. Then my friend J. in Montreal, a chemistry prof, emailed to remind me of quantum mechanics, which contemplates the instantaneous “communication” between electrons billions of light years apart. Entanglement, of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Perhaps one day entanglement will allow us to communicate over vast distances instantly. I still suspect gravity might have something to do with entanglement. Or perhaps there is a third vector/speed somewhere between sluggish old light, and speedy-pants entanglement.
Surely there must be multiple entanglements — quadrillions upon quadrillions, if we accept the premise that everything in the universe is connected. This (belief that the whole universe is one complex entanglement) goes some way toward the concept of God. Then the question becomes, “is there a Godhead?”

WEEKLY FORECAST:
ARIES: March 21-April 19
If you have romantic leanings now, they’re hidden from others, Aries. Now to April 10, protect yourself physically — avoid belligerent people and sketchy venues. Much of your week will be taken up with gov’t, management and similar duties. Get that tex return ready. This is generally a smooth week, without disasters. Remember, start NOTHING new before March 20. Sunday’s romantic in tenor, but offers little success. Tackle chores Monday to mid-morning Wed. (PST). You might be surprised by how large your job jar has grown! But all ends smoothly and successfully Wednesday morning. Relationships enter late Wednesday morning to a little past supper time Friday. Wednesday is the significant one: major themes start to unfold, to determine or “bend” your path for the years ahead. The start is now, but the process is long and slow. A possible real estate or family-home “bonus” Thursday. Friday night starts a weekend of sexual desire, financial action (start nothing!) Research and secrets.
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
March holds a celebratory tone, a social happiness, a feeling of “belonging” (outside your family) Taurus. Optimism, flirting, entertainment — these will lift your heart. “Flirting” might be an understatement, as every romantic planet now occupies this area of socializing and optimism. Your dealings with gov’t or management are undergoing a large, slow change now through the years ahead. Home, family, real estate, garden — these occupy you Sunday into pre-dawn Monday (PST). Romance, creative surges, sports/games, pleasure/beauty — these call you Monday dawn to mid-morning Wednesday. Some minor obstacles, but love could peak, climax (Tuesday?). Remember, start no new relationships (or projects or big purchases before March 20) — but an old flame might just wander in! Tackle chores Wednesday morning to 8 pm Friday (PST) — a bit rough Wednesday, but a lucky communication might come (Thursday). Relationships, opportunities, public appearances arise Friday night through the weekend.
GEMINI: May 21-June 20
The accent lies on ambitions, career, prestige relations, worldly standing and authorities, Gemini. Don’t expect anyone “up there” to have any patience — higher-ups are filled with projects and notions, and don’t want to be hindered or delayed. But that’s exactly what’s happening, and it’s not your fault. Don’t be drawn into brand new projects — they’re likely to fail, and you could be the one in an unwanted spotlight. (Remember, start nothing consequential before March 20.) A former boss could appear — so could someone “bossy,” who wants your fealty, your intimacy perhaps. Just nod, pay any fines, and go on. Smile rather than rant! Very soon, a “money boat” will pick you up. Sunday’s for trips, communications, but without luck. Be close to home, family pre-dawn Monday to mid-morning Wed. (PST). A climax might occur here, and all ends well. Romance, creative surges, pleasure, beauty and games fill Wednesday morning to about 8 pm (PST) Friday — but you’ll have more good luck in real estate, home or income than in love. Tackle chores Friday night into the weekend. Dress, eat sensibly. You’ll succeed (especially by Sunday).
CANCER: June 21-July 22
Remember, start nothing big and new, before March 20, Cancer. That said, your mental-love side is popping vigorously with romantic and creative urges/notions. If an old flame returns, a major affair might be in the offing. Might be a foreign-born person, or someone with whom you shared a lot of ideas and opinions, maybe travelled far or attended school together. You are about to charge forward with huge personal luck — pick your goal, destination. Chase money, buy/sell Sunday. Not worth chasing casual sex. Communications, errands and short trips and paperwork fill Monday dawn to mid-morning Wed. You might receive some significant message. (Affectionately, Wed.) Wednesday morning to about 8 pm PST Friday nudges you toward home, family, security and mother nature. Friday night starts a romantic, creative weekend (best Sunday, March 8).
LEO: July 23-Aug. 22
The weeks ahead give you a glimpse of your deeper self, Leo. Your subconscious will tend to rise, which makes your intuition much stronger. Research can lead to valuable information — a perfect basis for investing. At the same time, your instincts rise also, especially the sexual one. Be moral, ethical and honest — the only way to gain from this trend. And remember: DON’T start any brand new project, relationship nor major purchase before March 20. If a former investment opportunity returns, or a former sexual partner, go ahead. A perhaps huge or major management task might be about to descend upon your capable shoulders. Your energy and pizzazz are high Sunday, but to little avail, as no one agrees. Chase $, collect and pay, learn from a book, or pursue a sexy person Monday dawn to mid-morning Wed. You might be asked to pay a high price Tuesday. All ends well, with a “basic agreement.” Wednesday morning to 8 pm PST Friday brings errands, communications and paperwork. Obstacles and lucky periods mingle. A fortunate investment or news of pregnancy hovers around you, especially Thursday. Head for home Friday night or Sat., for a domestic weekend. (A great weekend, esp. Sunday!)
VIRGO: Aug. 23-Sept. 22
The emphasis lies on relationships, opportunities (and opposition) public appearances (rare) and relocation themes, Virgo. You could fall in love now, or meet your life-mate, esp. if you pal around with a group. But remember, no brand new relationships, projects nor (big) purchases before March 20. So love might spring up with a face from your past, or a former opportunity could return. Good. Your popularity will rise a solid notch or two next week through June. Buy/sell, gather $ and pay bills Sunday. Forget casual sex: would be disrupted. Your energy, charisma and clout rise high Monday dawn to mid-morning Wednesday (PST). Ongoing projects could reach a solid peak, or love find friendly arms — but start nothing new. Chase money, buy/sell, learn from a book, or hug someone Wednesday morning to 8 pm PST Friday. You might see, hear or read something that makes your heart rise with optimism. (Good domestic or real estate news?) Travel, perform errands or paperwork, and email, call, text, whatever — communicate — Friday night into the weekend.
LIBRA: Sept. 23-Oct. 22
The weeks ahead feature work and daily health, Libra — but there’s more. Since your career sector is about to explode with good luck, all that work won’t be wasted! A former chore or employment might be offered. Whatever happens, your ambitions ride with bags of good fortune, next week through June. As Mercury’s retro, your best situation or ambition will likely relate to the past. (Many of you will “pick up” a project that stalled last autumn — go ahead, it’s a good project, might need “retooling.” Others will treat you with affection the remainder of March. Work will be hectic. You’re hopeful, popular, friendly Sunday, but don’t expect much in return. Lie low, rest, examine past and present, liaise with gov’t or head office Monday dawn to mid-morning Wednesday. Don’t plan, as fresh, lucky ones will come very soon. This interval ends benevolently Wed. This morning to 8 pm PST Friday brings fresh energy and charisma. See and be seen. Realize a career “plum” might exist Thursday. Friday night starts a weekend of shop[ping, earning, reading and learning — and perhaps good lovin’.
SCORPIO: Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Ah, sweet romance! It’s been a tickling sensation last month, Scorpio, but now becomes a full-on “assault” — senses, mind, emotions…If an old flame appears (or a creative project you dropped last autumn) you might be in line for a powerful attraction. But if this is someone brand new, drop it; it will frustrate in the long run. (Applies to Mach 20.) Read “ALL SIGNS” above. Your work is about to expand slowly and steadily for some years. A legal, travel, learning, media, philosophical/religious or similar concern/involvement is about to shoot forward along a lucky path. Keep your eyes open! Sunday’s for ambitions, but they don’t get far. A happy mood comes over you Monday dawn to mid-morning Wed. You’re popular, a group welcomes you, flirting, entertainment and optimism buoy your heart — and all ends on a friendly note. Find a quiet place far from the bustling crowd Wednesday morning to 8 pm PST Friday — rest, contemplate, seek advice, be charitable, kind. You might settle one of the life-long puzzles of your mind or thoughts. Friday night starts a weekend of strength, charisma, and dominance. Be good! Someone likes you!
SAGITTARIUS: Nov. 22-Dec. 21
The emphasis, for several weeks Sage, lies on your domestic situation. Home, garden, kids, furniture, property, security. This sector has been rather benevolent lately, has even encouraged/rewarded decorating, painting, etc. However, now to April 9, you can experience some friction on the home front. Casual or “light” romances will fall away. Now to the 2030’s, romance will be heavy, deep and slow, while bonds, relationships will be volatile and action-packed (to 2032). A significant sexual and/or financial opportunity will “burst forth” next week through June. Jump on that and ride it — could lead to a new life. Sunday your thoughts are profound, you mood gently loving. But few good outcomes, so go slow, leisurely. Be ambitious Monday dawn to mid-morn Wed. An ambitious situation might come to a climax, and everything ends on a note of friendly affection. Optimism, popularity, social delights, entertainment and flirting fill Wednesday morning to 8 pm (PST) Friday. You might spy a good investment Wednesday night, Thursday morning. Retreat Friday night for a weekend of rest, contemplation and recuperation.
CAPRICORN: Dec. 22-Jan. 20
The emphasis remains on paperwork, short trips, errands, communications and casual acquaintances, Cap. Remember, start nothing brand new and important before March 20. A former “friend” might re-appear. Your home and family will treat you affectionately during the weeks ahead. (This area, home, will become deep and meaningful for years to come.) A great opportunity, a relocation urge, a significant relationship — which might have stalled last November — will be “reborn” next week — grab it and hold on tight through June. Now to mid-April, think before speaking/writing — you’ll be a bit impulsive here. Sunday’s deep, mysterious, could stir forgotten temptations. A day best discarded. A gentle, mellow, thoughtful mood steals over you Monday dawn to mid-morn Wed. Profound ideas might “fall into place,” giving you a new view on the world. Higher learning, far travel, media and law favour you. Be ambitious Wednesday morning to 8 pm PST Friday. A former career or employment opportunity might recur. I’d grab it, especially Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Friday night starts a weekend of celebration, flirting, optimism and social delights — enjoy!
AQUARIUS: Jan. 21-Feb. 18
The accent remains on money and possessions, Aquarius, on buying/selling, book learning and casual sex. This is a relatively smooth week, but not a hugely lucky one. Now to early April (9th) more money than usual will flow to you, but much might flow right through you unless you hold on to it. A former job (which probably contained a few/many social contacts/friends) might reappear. If so, it’s probably a good one (especially if it was good before last November, and then “stalled”). BUT do not start any brand new projects, relationships nor big purchases before March 20. Stick with the past or ongoing. Sunday’s for relationships and opportunities, but is a bit of a dud. Life’s depths rise to the surface Monday dawn to mid-morn Wed. Your intuition blossoms, you’ll spy secrets, can face major opportunities in sex, finances, lifestyle changes or surgery. Be an angel, morally. A gently loving, pondering mood steals over you Wednesday morning to 8 pm Friday (PST). A good employment (or minor health) opportunity is available Wednesday night, Thursday morn. Friday night starts a weekend of ambition — charge ahead!
PISCES: Feb. 19-March 20
Your energy, charm and clout are at a yearly high, Pisces. (I’m not saying “effective,” because Mercury’s retrograde plants little “failure bombs” in almost everything until March 20. So, avoid starting any brand new bonds, projects or big purchases before then.) An old flame might be in the picture, or perhaps you yearn for a younger, simpler “you.” Your romantic luck is about to soar, next week through June — be ready! You will radiate sexual magnetism now to April 9. You might also be more greedy, short-tempered, same duration. A lucky money trend starts Friday, lasting through March. Tackle chores Sunday — not much reward, but might as well get it done. Careful around electricity. Dawn Monday to mid-morning Wed. will bring strong relationships, opportunities and opposition, perhaps a love climax. Remember, nothing/no-one new. Wednesday morning to 8 pm (PST) Friday brings secrets, heightened intuition, valuable info, sexual and power-related temptations. Honesty protects you. Friday night starts a weekend of love, truth, and joy, mental acuity, travel, law, learning and media.
THE END.
AFTERAMBLE:
That the U.S. men’s hockey team, gold medalists, were eager to accept Trump’s invitation to join him in the White House, and that the U.S. women’s team, also gold medal winners, refused, tells you all you need to know about American politics.
***
In US politics, as generally across the world, the pendulum has sworn from the leftist woke of Biden‘s years to the increasingly right-leaning Trump. Now as the midterms approach, the pendulum seems to be swinging a little bit left again, as the American public recoils from the extremes of Trumpism. The question becomes: where is the Centre? Where does the pendulum finally stop? (Or slow…)

I think what the Bible meant by forbidden fruit, was meat. Eating meat “condemned” us to a civilization of war, violence, cruelty and competition, as a result of our “original sin.” Eating meat condemned us to killing all sorts of conscious beings, to eat their flesh. That’s enuf for a communal guilty conscience! The forbidden fruit was NOT knowledge, as the Catholic Church would have you believe. What God would fill a person with high intelligence and strong curiosity, then tell him/her not to learn anything? That’s so ridiculous only a tyrannical, censorious (and censorship prone) church could push such a “finding.”
The Catholic Church likes to think that it is a sin to question their all too human human pronouncements.

I give monthly to 11 charities. It’s now March, and only 3 of the 11 have sent me a tax receipt. That’s pretty lousy.

Good things come to those who wait, but better things, on average, come to those who don’t.

As far as I know, Jesus was the first one to envision the separation of church and state, a principal now enshrined in the US constitution, and practised in many Democratic nations. He said, when someone asked him about taxes, “ render onto Caesar what is Caesars, render unto God, what is gods.” or some such. He meant, pay human taxes, but worship God.
Those who criticize banks and money lenders because Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple, are wrong. He threw over their tables because they were practising money in the temple, in the church. They were blurring the line between God and man’s practical interests — a species of blasphemy.

Are animals subject to karma? According to some religions, animals are the embodied karmic retribution for their prior acts as humans.
That aside, I’m torn. On the one hand, our family’s black lab can look at me and I feel I know exactly what she can’t express otherwise, I can see the consciousness, the awareness of the self, the sadness that we can’t connect more deeply, and the unexpressed chasm between us. I think that’s more than enough evidence that animals have souls. Sometimes this exchange takes place just before she asks for something, to go outside or receive a treat. It often — invariably — occurs after I’ve told her no. (Though sometimes she then begins to moan and whine.) So she is also a conscious actor, proud of her ability.
But karma? I think karma might exist outside of instinct. Which partly answers the question.

I’m going to get in trouble for this, but here goes: women are attracted to the Brutish qualities in men. Perhaps this is because what I call Brutish qualities are more basic, closer to the Earth,; and the DNA involved is likely more simple and direct, more healthy because more simple, and because it’s closer to the Earth, the holder of all health (Sun being the giver). Perhaps women are instinctively nudged to preserve what is simple and closest to the Earth; perhaps it has something to do with preservation of the species. Nature will always outsmart intellect in the big picture; the reverse is true more locally. You could also say, innocence will always, in the larger picture, defeat cynicism, or youth, age; or simplicity, sophistication. Innocence, optimism, and cheerfulness, BTW, are brutish emotions.
I remember during the 1970s there was a great triangular public focus on feminism, as a new force, a new idea coming into its own everywhere, and as a balance to the overwhelming influence of the patriarchy. At that time, perhaps one in 100 men sided with the women strongly enough to join their ranks, both politically and emotionally. I remember looking at some of these men. 90%, I was curious. But also, I felt, maybe 5% repulsed by or superior to their fawning over these women. So some arrogance on my part. I didn’t think these men were gay. I just wondered. Emotionally, I don’t know how they fared after the 1970s. (Although I suspect not a majority of them ended up happily married to the women they supported.) Politically, I suspect they were one of the roots of woke.
Further on the hockey teams: did you notice that the majority of anti-ice protesters were female? Anyway…a pretty smart commentator suggested that women are naturally more nurturing and sympathetic towards the downtrodden, I.e., illegal immigrants, while men are more combative.
