Tartarus-Tantalized Tantalus






































The gaze. The reach. The water. The fruit. Tantalus!

If only you had a thousand ducats, a million bucks. Ten thousand clams, a dozen smackeroos. The original G. His kingdom for a horse. So close, yet so far.

Tantalus!

Another great assault on the psyche -- ego -- desire. Is it really there? Can you really reach it?  Can you grasp victory from the jaws of defeat?  Who will wear the crown?  

Today's Rune: Possessions.

Seems to run parallel to the Eden story when God kicked them out of the garden and barred the ay to the tree of life.

Erik, I used to think that it was all in my grasp. I still do, but my expectations have morphed over time to much more realistic ideals. Boring, huh?
