      <image:caption>Dear Baba, Will lost love be regained? Can time heal a festering heart-wound, or will I be caught by fever? Help me, Baba: you know infection spoils the meat. BABA YAGA: If yr heart spoils; give it to a dog.) &amp; he will love the good meat. now it is hard alive, but yr heart is alive in the running mouth. out of a jeweled solitude bath you rise Damasked &amp; flushly. Yr life is yr own even if it barks like a dog.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - How Do I Make Room for Another Love?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dearest Baba Yaga, Last year I met the love of my life during harrowing circumstances. As we fell in love, he was also falling into a deep depression. When he hit rock bottom, our "we" had to end so he could heal on his own. I don't know how long that will take, or if he will ever be with me again. How do I place my love for him to the side, so I can try making room for another? BABA YAGA: Love cannot be so easily placed aside — where would you put it? ;No — the love will work through you in its grieving ways &amp; spell its strange and painful phantasms through yr body. But waiting you must not do. Nothing,is coming for you. It is only you moving( forward and around , &amp; there will be fine makings for you as you do so. But you cannot conjure another to do yr bidding.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - She Won't Date Me!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba, I have recently fallen in love with a girl. We're so perfect for each other that it annoys her–but alas, she won't date me. Even though she tells me that she loves me and that I am someone to grow old with. Baba–I'm confused. Is it that I'm not cute? My hair is looking excellent today, and I even showered. Can you help me? Perhaps bewitch her so she'll love me forever? my heart is a big, lumpy piece of brick. P.S. Can you also make her less crazy? I love her, but she annoys the hell out of me. By the way, she just read that last bit over my shoulder and wants to kill me right now. Oh Baba… can you make me smarter too? BABA YAGA: )You two; are as potatoes overgrown with sprouted eyes, all tangled-up in each other's growth. Love there may be but sense there is not, so stop wishing for all to be so clean. If you wish to wallow in the root cellar, know you will be visited by foully breaths &amp; bored spirits of the kitchen. Nurse a map &amp; go elsewhere. or accept that you both love the malaise &amp; confusions, suck the rot from each other's toes &amp; wake for several more months to the consternations of yr silly vegetable faces. , irritable and not wholly adoring.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - How Do I Learn to Date Again?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, I'm 33 years old, and I have been single for almost NINE YEARS. I haven't been unhappy! Or at least only sort of. But I feel like I'm hiding from life in my endless single-ness. I think I could be happy in a relationship, but I haven't even really tried. I haven't really sought out, or stumbled on, anything. Everywhere I look, friends are getting married and having babies. I feel like I'm missing the boat. I feel like I'm missing all the boats! What should I do? Should I force myself to "get out there?" Should I accept myself as-is? Love feels so distant, and alien and unfathomable to me now. BABA YAGA: ) You are too young to stand on the land forever. There will always be boats, but is it truly that you wish to catch your first when you are Crone? –To be . a true Well &amp; Good Crone as I you must have had many transformations, many lives &amp; shapes. What is : distant alien unfathomable is what boat-riders go in seek of. You have much time yet to spend in comfort &amp; the being with things you know. If unspoken to, what is alien &amp; unfathomable in you will drag behind you ( always like a mangled &amp; uncared-for boat.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - How Do I Stop Worrying About Finding a Mate?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, I find myself happy in most areas of my life (professionally, intellectually, socially).  However, as I've tiptoed into my thirties, I've become increasingly anxious about finding a mate. It's distracting me from my otherwise quite pleasant existence. How can I quit worrying about it, and let it happen when it happens? BABA YAGA: a foul wind follows the craving of minds after the seeking.( It is made such that you'll always be wanting this, if indeed it is something you want. ;Why are you asking for the pain to be taken wholesome from yr life, if most is well &amp; only one lacking? There's always something) making clicks &amp; clacks behind us, pushing us forward with a somewhat fear. No one's road is silent.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - How Do I Stop Dwelling on the Love I Haven't Had?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, I'm overwhelmed by a sense of loss for the relationships I haven't had.  Due to various circumstances, I've had very long periods of being alone.  Up until recently, I was seeing someone (the first in a long time) who moved on from me to another person like it was the simplest thing in the world.  Not only am I jealous of the ease with which he establishes romantic connections, but being with him showed me what I've been missing out on–sex, emotional intimacy–and I can't shake my sadness at the fact that this huge thing has been missing from my life.  I know I need to make some changes going forward, but how do I keep from dwelling on the love I haven't had? BABA YAGA: The life of every being has , some vast emptiness in it. Unspeakable, grievous. ;There is a field in the middle of my wood where no one goes. It is the heart of my loneliness. I go there to dance &amp; be quiet. &amp; I love the intensity of its silence. If I were human I would wish to take another there. You must know every contour of yr emptiness before you can know who you wish to invite in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - How Do I Keep from Being Sidetracked by Romance?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hello Baba Yaga, I have recently concluded a third failed romantic relationship in as many years and I am completely worn out and fed up with this waste of my time and energy. I am completely content being single, and have many career ambitions to focus on towards accomplishing goals in my life, versus draining my resources (emotion, money, time, etc) on another futile connection. How would you advise me in remaining on the "straight and narrow" without becoming side tracked with romantic involvements? Accountability? A vision board? Not leaving the house? I'm SO FED UP with heartbreak and failure; all I want is to make progress and be happy. BABA YAGA: You,will always be wanting; love—so throw yr vision board back into its hell river. :Every being seeks what it wants &amp; you seek romances, &amp; then they fail. ,Why? You already know. It is only) in yr avoidance of this knowing that you must fail &amp; fail again.; &amp; straight &amp; narrow paths are made by those who do know the forest, &amp; fear it, &amp; hack it open blind. Be a better woodsdweller &amp; do not cut down every tree you meet, but first ask why it is there, &amp; know it—only then.can you get through the woodshouse safely.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - My Best Friend Got Engaged; All I Can Do Is Weep</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, My best friend just got engaged and all I can do is weep, left alone as the last of the single ladies in my circle of friends. How do I suck it up, move on, and be happy for her and her happiness when all I do is fear I will die alone, eaten by squirrels and badgers in the wilderness? How do I find my own happiness along the way? BABA YAGA: Everyone dies, alone in their own cauldron–yr death will be no more or less gruesome than any other’s. &amp; happiness is a thing that passes through you, not a thing you meet &amp; hold in yr deathly grip for ever afterwards. You are afraid; of being the last at a party without the others, but the others have gone on into a wood they do not, understand. It is the same wood you stand in, weeping. &amp; the trees look at all of you the same, &amp; say nothing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - Will I Ever Fall in Love Again?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, For years I fell in love so easily and was so eager to please my partners. I have now been single for two years, and when I date new people I find myself less interested, more critical, and in "what are you bringing to the table?" mode. Baba, has my heart died? I still love my passions, family, friends fiercely, but I feel deeply underwhelmed by the potential lovers I meet. Will I ever fall in love again? BABA YAGA: Only a fool would welcome a soiled table of crumbs &amp; empty bottles. Let them, those who would feast, bring jugs &amp; baskets, bring fruits &amp; goodly onions. Yr table is not for the vagrants or the doomed. ; ( Yr table is for the sweet dark wine &amp; the tender herbs &amp; a good eye winking at you above a full glass. Wait for the , guest who carries fresh meats, &amp; until then, eat yr fine soups by yrself, &amp; open the windows so the birds may come in yr house &amp; charm yr table with their beauty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - I Live with my Ex!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, My boyfriend dumped me with two months left on our lease. He still lives in the house and wants to spend time with me like we didn't break up. My heart hurts and I feel confused at a physical level. I know I need to move on, but I have no private place to heal. How can I take care of myself until he moves out? BABA YAGA: It is not good to live with such a large rat, such noisy cheese-nibblings, such large &amp; everywhere droppings. It was his choice to turn into a rat; it is yrs to ask the rat to leave, or leave yrself. No one can rest with such nightly gnawings at the heart.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - How Do I Deal with My Sexual Angst?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, When I was in a relationship, talking to the opposite sex came easily. Now that I'm out of one, I feel a sexual tension and angst with almost any conversation. How do I learn to be myself again? BABA YAGA: You're an itchy boar in the woods, feeling for the first time its boar bristles. ;Rub up against a tree &amp; laugh at yr prickly skin&amp;fur. Into such a laughter-hole you may fall, &amp; begin the serious journey of knowing the tunnel of yrself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ask Baba Yaga - Should I Wait for Her?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Dear Baba Yaga, I'm falling deeply for a close friend who is about to go through a divorce. She has feelings for me as well, but she is nowhere near a place where she could start a new relationship. I want to wait for her, but the longer I wait the more certain I am that I am lost. Should I wait for her, or should I walk away? Where would I even go? BABA YAGA: She is walking out of one world &amp; into another. &amp; in between she is, where the rules of earth do not hold. ; You are lost because you hold a tether to the lost, &amp; the tether is slight &amp; fragile,a thread that could break from weather or wind or time or because she chooses to cut it. ( When will she deem to come down, &amp; will it be to you that she goes? It is not . for you to know. If you go, go back to the earth that you loved (if you did love it). But in truth if you go or stay is no difference--the only matter is if you look to the earth where you are or look up to the sky where she wanders, barely visible to you, so far you know not what are all her changes. For you have not gone anywhere, &amp; the earth is still yr home.</image:caption>
