Sometimes getting the right answer means asking the right question.

Life is full of hints, signs, and advice ... if you know where to look and what you're looking for.

Astrology and Tarot are tools that blend free will and useful information into new dimensions of thought ... so you can discover your best options. But the choice to act is always yours.

Work with all your possibilities.

I love artists, because I'm a wordsmith and they say things I can never say.

My mother was full of aphorisms. I grew up with "All work has dignity," and "It doesn't matter what you do. If you're a [floor scraper], be the best one you can be."

Coming from an intellectual family, I was always fascinated to see people work with their hands. It took such patience. They did the same thing over and over. I wondered what held their interest.

When I watched, I often saw and felt love. I watched the carpenter pause for a moment, stroking the wood as if it were a living thing. Turning it over in his hands, caressing it.

I heard the repairman coaxing the plumbing -- "Come on baby, come on baby," he would say to the corroded screw, with pliers in his hands.

I never heard my father, a corporate attorney, talking to his brief that way, or the father of my children, a pathologist, begging the pap smear to reveal its secrets. Though George Washington Carver claims that's how he got his secrets from the peanut -- by talking to them.

I watched the woman who cleaned our house. Her favorite thing was to polish the silver. We took it for granted, but she saw the silver pitchers and tableware for the beautiful objects they were. She would dip into the silver polish and make swirls on the coffee pot, taking her time, admiring the object and admiring her work.

When it was done to her satisfaction, she would hold it out to me. "Ain't dat purdy?" she would say.

The Cathedral of Notre Dame was done by such artisans.

The object of the work was not to throw up a pew as fast as you could; everything that could be embellished was embellished.

Each artisan was creating his own glory to God that would be part of the greater whole. They were not chipping stained glass, they were building a cathedral. They also did not sign their work.

In my days as a fundraiser, I often heard the Archbishop of San Antonio speak. He had a favorite story for those of us who served the homeless.

He told about a homeless person who came to the back of the chancery one day for food.

The Archbishop was busy writing and annoyed to be interrupted from his important work. He stormed into the kitchen, he said, threw some bread on the table, slapped some turkey on it, slammed down a mustard jar and said, "HERE! Here's your food."

The man who had asked for food picked it up, and then put it down. "I can't eat," he said. "I can't swallow this. You were so angry when you made this. It wasn't made with love."
