Hey, , I loved this! -- both the " lightness " of your image and

the seriousness of what you're saying, but for now I only have enough

time and energy in one post for the first of those two....

Can't think of The Proper Jungian Term just now (see subject line

disclaimer) but something, any way, about the yin and the yang [*]) I

took a renter into my home some years ago who undertook to teach me

poker but he was an incurable puer and never stayed around long

enough. One of my two (count 'em two!) Jungian Training Analysts was

also an avid poker game enthusiast{:-)!]. My latest enticement to

poker was much too shady a story to tell on an internet list [ha --

am I " enticing " any interst here?! :-)] but pulling all these threads

together: this is the first time I've come back for several days to

any of the lists I'm nominally a member of (owe you a post on one of

the others too), so -- for a line (I was once a singer) I remember

vividly from Menotti's 'Amahl and the Night Visitors' -- thank you,

thank you T..H..A..N..K...Y...O...U...! :-)

*P.S. I'll try to get my inner highly imaginative inner dreamer (to

the frequent distress of my inner I-would-like-to-get-a-quiet-and-

full-night's-sleep daimon) to dream up a bully (?) bunch of poker

hands to send to you in virtual time/space! [:-)]

Everyone Else: hello. This is marte/fricassee, " once again and some

times " :-) :-(, checking in, Sunday evening here, whatever all days

or times in all the " wheres " of all the rest of you!

:-)

[P.P.S. I might have said " animus and anima " but right now I'm in an

argument with what in my own head microcosm of the macrocosm are

feeling overly batted-about words on " Jung " lists....Surely most

people here know Jung's so-oft quoted remark: " thank god I'm not

a 'jungian'; I'm just Jung " [:-) ?!] But that's a kind of

curmudgeonly remark

from this once-upon-a-long-time " puella " now three-days post the

Candlemas/Ground Hog Day mid winter season mark since announcing

Entry Into Senex Land. Anyone want to join me here?] [Oy! - I begin

to sound, I afear me, like a blogger ( " heaven forfend " ?!)]

Here's to " silly " (and selig) because I'm tempted to post a family

anecdote and you should all be glad I have at least enough self-

discipline to do that on a Yahoo list just because I was in a good

mood when reading this post. Right?

yo, marte/fricassee (and my simplistic " " ) way of saying " hi "

on this end of the weekend day ... and I'm exceptionally pleased

that you appreciated teh imagery (and was somehow concerend

with 'mercurial' concept a day or two ago)

In the world of pro-gamblers, I'd more or lesss be like a

sheep ready to be clipped, as these poker-players of today

are tricky card-players.

but luckily, they *do* provide a way of seeing others

[sometimes] as these other peopel don't even see themselves,

so any money lost there may serve in a tuition-proxy.

( Amahl sounds like a lucky guy " You're welcome " )

enticements reminiscent of a Mae West proverb.

peace,

tracy
