Today I have come down with a cold and my brother James, who also has bipolar disorder though his symptoms/cycles are different from mine (which I describe on my Salmon on the Thorns webpage), says he has had a sore throat for a few days. So anyway I hope that this is the Chill of Math, described in the Welsh Mabinogion, which Gwydion and his brother Gilfaethwy experienced at the end of three years of being transformed into animals (a different animal each year) by Math. From that I intuit that Gwydion had three years of low/working years, like Jesus, and not the more common seven years. I expected to go 29 years (the common seven plus two 11 year sunspot cycles) but am now at a little more than 30, which I think is due to the latest sunspot cycle lasting longer than the average 11 years. But I hope that they will end shortly and that there might be the blessings of Arianrhod rather than the prison of Arianrhod. (Also after midnight it will be the last Friday in February, which is International Stand Up to Bullying Day.) -- https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “I gave my love a golden feather; I gave my love a heart of stone; When you find a golden feather it means you’ll never lose your way back home”(RR)
