OK. What card am I? I am fully qualified to work as a doorkeeper, and for this reason what is inside me, I don't let out what is outside me, I don't let in. If anything comes in, it goes right out again It has nothing to do with me. I am a doorkeeper of the heart, not a lump of wet clay. The poem is by the sufi poet Rabia al-Adawiyaa who lived in the 700s, I think, in what is now Iraq. She was sold into slavery as a child and became a famous poet and spritual teacher. To me it relates very much to a certain card, just hope that it is not too personal an interpretation. Myrrha

That was a really great High Priestess clue! The bit about the author made it pretty clear. Good one! (Too bad I was too late to guess it!) ;) JOAN
