CSE Cooney says on her blog:

Every day in October, Carlos & I will pull a card from the Deck of Destiny for you!

Use it at will to inspire story, poems, plays, songs, other visual arts, or, you know, just how you wanna spend your day.

Our Kickstarter for NEGOCIOS INFERNALES (which includes the full 70-card Destino deck as its core mechanic) goes live on Tuesday, October 10th!

Check it out at NegociosInfernales.com!

Today’s card was drawn from the suite, Aire: The Breath of Life. It has two cloud baby/cherub faces blowing wind in blue and white. The card itself says, “The soul loves all. The mind, but some.”

I would describe the image thusly: A femme-appearing being is sewing a masculine-appearing being’s lips closed with a needle threaded in blue.

Back in 2017 there was a Soulwriters song prompt along the lines:  "Of Steel and of Stars." I wrote a song inspired by the USS Alabama moored in Mobile Bay and concern about rising sea levels. (We were in vacation in Fort Morgan near Bon Secour)

I want to eventually put this song on an album. Perhaps it will go on the album after my next gaming album. Anyway, I performed it live earlier this year at Nonsonace, Consonance's virtual convention. Here are the lyrics.

And So It Goes Back to the Sea

Copyright 2017 by Mary Crowell

My turn on the deck tonight

I think that red light is Mars.

My home is the USS Alabama

My world’s made of steel and stars.

I think we’re floating above Bon Secour

No water oaks and Royal Reds no more.

Sea level it rose and rose

And so it goes. So it goes.

Chorus:

Back to the Sea

Back to the Sea

I miss the dreams of space

And the sight of land and trees.

Dreaming on the deck tonight

That we all went to Mars.

On the Starship Alabama

Left the world for the stars.

I recall we’ve lost that technology

Cape Canaveral’s gone beneath me.

Sea level it rose and rose

And so it goes. So it goes.

Chorus

Wishing on the deck tonight

That we were bound for Mars.

But my home is on the Alabama

My world’s made of steel and stars.

She’s sheltered many from hurricanes.

Recommissioned Ark during summer rains

Sea level it rose and rose

And so it goes. So it goes.

Chorus

What's that? A halfling rogue gets to have a song about ponies? (but sadly no actual pony) And Amy McNally is playing fiddle? Yes. Yes! YESSSSSSSSSS!
