Crossed my path this morning, somewhere on Gorham, just off Wisconsin. It drew a curve over my head before landing on a tree branch. I was, as I am still, wearing my Sun Diego T-shirt, with nothing over it. Forget about coats, forget about jackets; it is, after all, a sunny red robin kind of day.
Although life, in the end, when all arguments are exhausted, is a matter of perspective -as much as the concept of Beauty is. Regardless of what is in front of us, we all notice what we focus on. In the alchemy of creation, we are each a unique amalgamation of shifting emotions and thoughts. We are malleable clay between form and formlessness.
For a few days now, I've been strongly aware of my knee. I feel its temperamental personality with each step, no, with each bodily shift I make. It has become as large as life. I've glimpsed the promise of peace beyond its greedily outstretched dominion, but the promise seems as difficult to reach as the most elusive of horizons.
Some might say that knee pain is a sign that I am pushing too hard, upstream, for what I want, and maybe there is some truth to that. I've always been extremely ambitious, unwilling to compromise, inflexible in my pursuits, refusing to learn the lessons of this lifetime.
Yes, undoubtedly, there is room for growth, for embracing selflessness -to a degree, for willingly being of service to others... until then, I'll continue to fight, to resist, to believe that I can, to remain as stubborn as I've always been...
Saturn can be pushy in general, and even more in Virgo. Saturn can be a pain especially in his house, especially in Capricorn. For me that happens to be in my 6th house, home of health, care and maintenance. But watch if I care...
Foolishly, I'll stick around Venus, while she's having fun in Sagittarius, as she should on such a sunny red robin day.
Be well, and be kind and loving toward yourself -it is wiser and healthier, in the long run.
A fool on a glorious November Monday
