The Oracle at Georgetown...

Today we were granted an audience with the oncology priestess presiding over the Oracle at Georgetown. Daniela came in search of prophecy. She wanted assurances.... What can I do to prevent a recurrence? Statistically, what is the recurrence rate for someone with my profile? There were more questions, but they were variations on the same theme. Our oncology priestess spoke intelligibly. Numbers, statistics, percentages, procedures and other vapors swirled around us. A few minutes later, Daniela realized the Oracle was blind to her anxieties. The Oracle could not guarantee that her future would be cancer-free. With a box of tissues and a warm embrace, the oncology priestess tried to restore her faith. We will return to the Oracle three months from today. Maybe, Daniela will ask again...

Here your will find the day's divinations, parcelled out in pixelated visions...

Coraggio, Daniela ! Hai superato un periodo pesante e adesso meriti di rilassarti e soprattutto di stare tranquilla e serena. Ti ricordiamo sempre nelle nostre preghiere. Un bacio alla tua famiglia stupenda.
