[Editor's note: It's getting to be a tradition to start these notes with an apology, and I hate that. But I'm sorry for the unannounced month hiatus. Real world burn out happened that I hope to make a full essay about just to explain.]You: Speaking can be difficult some time. But it can be harder to know what to say. And yet, there are some strategies that work better than others. "Simple Conversations" - a tantalizing offer, just not for the one who meets the goddess ----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk

[Editor's note: I'm so sorry for another late episode. The next notes episode will go up tomorrow, and then--hopefully--it's all on time from there. But I didn't realize how much bronchitis had wrecked my daily life until I was finally well enough to play catch up. I'm hoping I dug myself out now.]You: Does anyone have everything figured out? You think you do, and that's why so many things look to be going your way, but it's just appearances, isn't it? "Locks and Breaks" - Things always slip out.

[Editor's note: I'm so sorry for another late episode. My lungs are still wrecked from bronchitis. It's not the dreaded C, tests show. I just don't have particularly strong lungs. The weather and doom scrolling certainly haven't helped.]You: It seems foolish to you, that you care, that you appreciate, but it isn't. Cosmic debts can be repaid, only if you keep certain things in motion. "The Barter" - A dying man and a last hope seemingly out of reach, but events don't happen in isolation. Not entirely anyway. ----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk

There is a benefit to "honoring generosity," even if it isn't something you would usually see. ----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk

[Editor's note: I'm so sorry this episode is over a week late. A bad bout of bronchitis delayed this episode.]You: You thought you understood the assignment, as it were. You thought you knew what to do. You're determined. Maybe too much so. "A Matter of Substance" - Two objects both alike in material. But there's so much more to their stories than that. ----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk

"Be thyself" is surprisingly fluid advice----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk

You: An ongoing problem seemingly has a simple solution. But is the solution really so simple? Or is it a solution? Who Knows what may come with it. "Hidden Attachments" - A young man finds misfortune and makes the most of it. Well, he just escapes his fate and takes on another. ----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk

[Editor's note: The publication date for the story episodes of Cassandra's Tales and Truths is being officially moved to the 20th. This will allow me to produce the episodes I want to make consistently.]You: Time has never been your friend, has it? Sometimes it has worked against you, and yet, you foiled it in one clear way. Maybe you need to reconsider a thing or two. Just to make the most of it. "The Smallest Thing" - A ghost is forced into a predicament. By sheer virtue of being a ghost, yes, but in other ways as well. ----Produced by MJ BaileyMusic for this Episode by Sounds Like an EarfulSoundslikeanearful.com----More Oracleswww.oracleofdusk.onlineTwitter: @oracleofduskTumblr: theoracleofdusk
