Some people say that 'love is the answer'. But to some extent, surely, that must depend on what the question is. And anyway, what are you supposed to do if you aren't in a relationship or there is no romance in your life? 'Ah,' say the love contingent, 'we don't mean THAT kind of love. We're talking about the open-hearted goodwill that all human beings can feel for each other - and for the whole of creation - without strings attached. That sounds good, doesn't it? It could yet prove to be your answer today.There are more questions than answers and the more I find out, the less I know.' So someone is now asking too many questions about a situation that is much more straightforward than it seems. What's wrong with the answer you have already got?Are all the facts being considered? Or are decision being reached on the basis of a few small nuggets of information that hardly represent a full, clear, picture? And even if we think that we have clarity and objectivity, how can we be sure? You are now doing your best to be fair under a set of circumstances that seem confusing - and which trigger emotional reactions by their very associations. The best you can do is question yourself. If the answers to your soul-searching are consistent, what else can you do but trust them?

What did people do before television? How did we cope before mobile phones and search engines? Even those who are old enough to remember can't quite be sure. Once a paradigm shifts, we shift with it. We have no way of picturing the past in the proper perspective. That may be one reason why history fails to teach us what it should. We just can't relate to what must have seemed important to people back then. Yet to make sense of what you are discovering now, you must strive for a more imaginative understanding.

Look at your calendar or your diary. When does it run out? Is there any reason to assume that when this happens time will stop? And what about the individual days? If there aren't any entries or appointments, should that be seen as a suggestion that those particular dates will therefore be empty and featureless? Life has a way of filling up all our gaps and spaces and it also usually takes us further than we ever expect to be able to go. Shortly, if it hasn't begun to do so already, life will start sweetly proving that point to you.

Streams eventually make their way towards rivers - and rivers, sooner or later, end up in the oceans. And what happens to the oceans? Where do they get to in the end? Quite a few of them, we are reliably informed, get picked up by the sky. There, they are carried, in the form of clouds, back towards the land where they fall as rain and become streams. Thus starting the whole cycle again. Are you beginning to feel as if every process in your life is becoming just as predictable? Coming shortly, a pleasing variation on this theme.
