The Branch that Holds Us: Reach Out and Touch Faith

***
The Branch that Holds Us
Heidi Garnett

An eagle falls without knowing its falling,
what up or down is. It flies the thin water of sky
like a pour of grace, breaks the properties of air
into flexion and extension, wide, bold wing strokes.
Time is a hunger a slanted eye, open or closed,
light or dark, the past and future out of sight.

Only we know the hooked branch that grafts the past
to now, the weight of wood and skull,
the thin rings of dry years. We sit and watch,
our eyes frozen open like a horned owl's,
pare the moon sliver by sliver until there is just light
enough to see the distance we've fallen.

But there have been times when I imagined myself
a bird suspended in the moment, and
trusted barbs and barbules would hold,
saw how the corn flowers I picked so long ago
were the most precious blue, the sky fallen to bits, and
I knew how small everything is, how perfect.

From phosphorus, 2006.

Dear dad: thanks for preaching Cash to me as a kiddie wink.
Dear teenage years: thanks for making me angsty and pushing me towards the Chili Peppers.

New Year's is just around the corner.
I'm heading to DC for some lovin' with the besties: JCK & MAC --
besties from college & childhood. Here I go: watch us scatter.

One of the factors that can influence the outcome of your program is that many bookmakers set maximum stake limits which can keep you from placing your full wager, so make sure that there in no max limit with any of the bookies that you are dealing with.

Any one who bets on sports for profit will want to make sure they are getting the best sports betting odds but it doesn’t matter what you are betting on, the fact of the matter is that the house is going to be sure to come out on top. They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little better and a sports bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she bets over a long term period.

With this movement the United States has taken a different approach to online gambling. Whereas other countries are working with these services to regulate them, the United States is attempting to prohibit them once and for all. By doing this they are missing out on the ability to tax internet gambling instead of getting rid of it entirely. Conservative estimates have shown that taxing these services could make the government in upwards of $6 billion a year.

If you are employing neither of those two elements, then the risk you run of eventually losing your entire Base Bank is 99.99%. On the other hand, employing only a good Selection System would not only reduce your risk closer to just 10% maximum, you would also have up to a 10% chance of making money. This would mean that the Bookies would suddenly be faced with a 10% possibility of losing to you long-term, rather than a 99.99% certainty of taking your money from you. Throw in a proper Staking Plan on top of that, and you will have increased your chances of winning to as high as 20%.
