the human barometer

We have a low that moved over last night and brought us some rain. Possibly some snow as it moves out and the cold north winds come back in overnight, but nothing that would cancel or postpone school.

As the Human Barometer, I feel every passage of these lows almost as if being a personal attack. The headache starts--sometimes, as in yesterday, very low and gradually builds. Other times, depending on the intensity of the low, it hits so hard I can almost fall down with the pure force. How do I know that this is caused by my sensitivity to meteorological events? Two reasons: one, as soon as the low passes, the headache disappears completely, and two, my palms say so.

Yes, I do know Basic Palm Reading. I could say I have passed 101 level and can operate more on the 200-level. Not advanced, but I found it a great way to teach verb tenses expressing future, probablility (subjunctive) and even use of the imperative (commands) in some of my intermediate Spanish classes that was different and a lot of fun for my adult students. So I learned how to read palms, put some general diagrams together with general Spanish terms and voila! a new class activity.

Anyhow, my Mercury line is extremely well-defined. It stretches from the inner palm of my hand outwards and upwards toward my pinkie finger. Some people have it, some do not. Some have a weak line, some have strong lines. The stronger the line, the more “affected by one’s environment” one tends to be…and this extends to sensitivity to emotional states, allergies, foods…not merely weather.

Interesting. Want me to read your palm? Scan me a copy of your palm. We’ll see what I can do! ☺ Couple that with my dream analysis, and I can add an entirely new realm to my language business…

hmmm…the Language of the Past, Present and Future….

I like it!
