figures, shapes, silhouettes, shadows, fragments of what used to be, ghosts of past, peeking around corners, glimpses, curiosity's cat, and returning, to old patterns, old habits, routines, easy ways of doing things, of getting around, of transportation, and wondering when the bad luck will happen, when the tide will turn, when will balance get restored, the bad to counteract the good, all the good that's happened. something, around the corner, from a direction i can't see, blindsided. waiting. and wondering. and actually it might have started, it might be beginning to balance out, a little bit of the bad, when it could have been much worse. but still, running a very large positive balance on the life karma right now.
