Putting Time in a (leaky) bottle
<<It's been spinning in my noggin that these questions of past, present, and future, have little, if any real meaning in regards to the 78, given many of the notions bubbling up out of the fog of quantum mechanics.>>
Well. Found this mind-warping time travel physics news nugget just this morning:

Article titled, aptly enough, Putting Time in a (Leaky) Bottle
<<I think the Page might still be in the peanut butter and jam on Wonder bread phase of life.>>
Perhaps. But the Page, in another aspect for me, is the excitement of love when it's fresh, and young. I remember that mode -- running around with this newfound immensity, golden and heavy and reality warping, running around offering it to anyone who struck my fancy, overcome by the marvels I had to offer but still obsessed with the fact that they were MY marvels, MINE to give, transformations *I* could conjur, and that I had to hold that Cup to *someone's* lips was the obsession, the goal, the reason. I bore the cup, but I had no clue what it held -- all sorts of crazy funk came pouring out...talking fishes, and them some. All I knew was, I wanted in, and I needed someone to let me bring it -- not much room for thoughts of what came next, or what said someone might bring on me, or that in some curvy realms I was just not welcome.
how does the Queen play in, then? Well. I imagine that excitement, that rush, that naivete ("holy shit! a talking fish! hello, mister fish! what's up with you? won't you be my neighbor?") -- crashing to a halt upon encountering the Queen -- now he's a little fish in a big, big pond -- and crashing Her Concentratyness' party...at least at first. Maybe it takes her a second. Maybe she rewards a little persistence ("I don't feel anything. This is bogus." Thrity minutes later, though...). But dig how those energies vibe...she turns him on to worlds he's never even considered...he brings a smile to her lips and a smartass minnow to the splashpool.
I think it was Umbrae said the Page knows about creating out of entropy..? That would be a motion of egress or emergence, then? The opposite of the top-down structure a Queen would represent? Queen of Cups rules by managing latent currents (thinking on the fly here, these are uncharted grottoes) He's a little chaos bomb, while she's humming the end of that trippy bjork song, "can you spot a pattern...." Heh. I like it. Major reciprocal world rocking is about to ensue.
<<So, should either the Page or Q care? Should one of the members of that exclusive club of two concern themselves about those outside when they are enjoying the happiness that comes with membership?>>
Jack bird no! I've known a few young men and older women duos...they seem to crave something from each other -- something found and lost, or something promised and not found -- do a little covalent bonding and have a hell of a good time -- but then, after a while, their respective orbits pull them back out to their different spins. I know a couple couples who have "stood the test of time" (what?), but each of them are Ultra Science Nerds and get off on the mutual world tunneling. Not all of us are so sturdy of will. Sometimes a good romp in one's mirror self (old vs young style...I like your mirror/symbol hypothesis by the way) is totally appropriate -- granted that the Page is stout enough not to turn junkie, the Queen is (I don't know her well enough to say what this would be for her), and expecting that their tight little circle will open in good time.
sweet, sweet time.
