Here we be,
honoring the portal before which we all stand,
Diving to Dark of Moon,
New Moon of Participatory Kinship
at 10:26 pm edt on Earth Day April 22nd…
(Sun conjoin Uranus square Saturn in Aquarius)
Thresholds all be great realms of deeper dedication…
Saturn, says , “depression, still too shallow.
Dive deeper, way down to feel our unique contribution. “
(Not special, which be imprisoning, but unique, which be liberating.)
To feel ourselves etched, honed, ready for danger and Beauty.
and never – yet perfect, but playfully aspiring.
Leonard Cohen reminds us:
“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.”
He adds:
“there is a crack in everything that you can put together:
Physical objects, mental objects, constructions of any kind.
But that’s where the light gets in, and that’s where the resurrection is
and that’s where the return, that’s where the repentance is.
It is with the confrontation, with the brokenness of things.”
The Saturn Pluto square the Sun,
is certainly the dance with the brokenness of things.
Everything is cracked open.
So let us be like Akilanda,
the goddess that derives her potency form being “never not broken.”
She rides on the crocodile of her own fear.
Woo-Hoo
Metaphoric agility gives us a liberating ride
As Ron says today, inner climate change, leads the way.
Grateful for all, including grim, if we work it.
More from Brer Cohen,
re the deep brooding zen part of now,
but always micro-to macro.
“From bitter searching of the heart,
Quickened with passion and with pain
We rise to play a greater part.
This is the faith from which we start:
Men shall know commonwealth again
From bitter searching of the heart.
We loved the easy and the smart,
But now, with keener hand and brain,
We rise to play a greater part.
The lesser loyalties depart,
And neither race nor creed remain
From bitter searching of the heart.
Not steering by the venal chart
That tricked the mass for private gain,
We rise to play a greater part.
Reshaping narrow law and art
Whose symbols are the millions slain,
From bitter searching of the heart
We rise to play a greater part.”
Tip o the hat to Pluto
While, simultaneously, many channels.
Narratives. to syncretize.
All around us we are surrounded by poetic pertinence…
Venus conjoins Vesta at 10+ Gemini
-lightens the mood from brooding
to the adventure of newly opened lands, inner and outer – to explore.
“Seeing beyond division to underlying unity.”
We are dedicated to keeping the conversational hearth fires alight.
All of creation be chorusing.
Sextiles Mercury at 9+ Aries,
“a scholar gves new expression to old symbols.”
And so can we all.
Something old seeks new vernacular expression.
Trines Mars in Aquarius.
To design guide human culture to be in accord with the larger design pulse.
I like that, ally Richard texted me to ask Ron what he thinks about
when he is climbing (sheer cliff faces, in old days, without any ropes)..
and At first I thought too simple a question.
But great response: “Dedication to Reality.”
Simple questions are now the best.
And because Ron has great uber macho cred,
(by having scaled afore mentioned sheer rock walls,
with no external support)
with the incarcerated youths whom he mentors
(and let’s send them all a waft of Yosemite,
which they have come to love, in their confinement…
and to all beings..)
He guides them into what he embodies,
“Strong enough to be gentle.”
Our Show Moon is
“White dove descends bearing a message of peace.”
A cool Christian image of Pentecost,
when the Holy Spirit descends as a fiery dove on the head of each apostle,
granting them the capacity to speak and understand all language.
Let’s not limit to human language, but also the wind language, the birds…
and all increasingly call and response
as we approach this Earth Day New Moon…
Experiment experiment…
And Ron’s Uranus at 10+ Leo is great for us all:
“Children swinging under the shade of a huge oak tree
-borrowed strengths of ancient traditions;
the roots of all spiritual traditions in mature mysticism.”
All being cooked back to liberating origins…
Let’s aspire to be liberated and liberating,
partnering with what we love.
The wild creatures are entering the human cities,
as emissaries with whom we may negotiate, and yip-yip!
