great deep craft — tying all cruelty together…in expanded empathic kinship…
painting with words, incarnational metaphors…

Let’s think of Rich Strike as Democracy….
Whoa!- powerfully moving, no matter what…Let’s think of Rich Strike as democracy, sane reverence…
comments: “This has to be considered one of the greatest performances in the history of racing. From the brilliance of the jockey to the spectacular heart and soul of this majestic horse. Rich Strike. A horse for the ages.”
Horse and Jockey, Venezuelan Sonny Leon, such grace, genius, magic-
As to be a Centaur…(to transcend race-horse “sport” etc. into Mythic)
all fire and Earth – Sun Uranus conjunction…
one air – his Mars
quintile, biquintile to chiron…
“You know we had a difficult post but I know the horse. I didn’t know if he could win but I had a good feeling with him. I had to wait until the stretch and that’s what I did. I waited and then the rail opened up. I wasn’t nervous, I was excited. Nobody knows my horse like I know my horse.”
–Sonny Leon, rider of winner Rich Strike
really such grace, genius magic as to transcend any impediment to feeling the mythic in play.
Man and horse team – a centaur -Chiron.
Rich Strike has a fantabulous chart – 2 quintiles to Chiron…all fire and earth, only one air planet – his Mars in Gemini…
Quintile Chiron, which Quintiles the Moon., has bi-quintile betwixt…
Sun-Uranus conjunction in Taurus – embodied Trickster – against all odds…
Sonny Leon, his jockey said they worked together, taught how to go between horses… that was magic!
Mars Gemini – agility… a dancing with universe, as path opened…(we might say horse tyranny…another day – ) this day was destiny….
Horse and jockey dreeing their weird.
“unbelievable upset” started dead last… was on wait list until days ago…
80-1 odds, but as his trainer says “this horse loves the track.”
No matter what one’s appropriate views on horse racing, put it aside for a moment, tis a heartening augury, “against all odds,”has a heartening global resonance…

And this be also true, a portion of Al’s critique in accord with Micah, and many worthy beings…
And I appreciate the informed sentiment of Al Owens:
“Sorry Caroline. You’re on the wrong track with this “happy horse” tale. I follow you closely and your metaphorical choices and examples are normally spot on but not this time. Horse racing, especially thoroughbred racing in the US, is romanticized as a noble sporting tradition but i can tell you first hand from growing up in the “industry” on racetracks and farms, that these horses are regarded merely as commodities and status symbols by rich owners. ….”

In keeping with Evangeline’s encouraging…
and our Sun in Taurus sextile Mars in Pisces, let’s especially dedicate to
Centaurs

Levon has been granted a reprieve :
yes, magnetizing, and he has been granted a reprieve, past May 9th…….in timing…undoubtedly the perfect amount of time for synchronicity to be in play, magnetizing just the right loving welcome…

MOTHER’S DAY PROCLAMATION
Boston, 1870
Arise, then… women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts,
whether our baptism be that of water or of tears!
Say firmly:
We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies.
Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage,
for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.
From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own.
It says: Disarm, Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.
Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
nor violence vindicate possession.
As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home
for a great and earnest day of council.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them then solemnly take council with each other as to the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace,
each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God.
In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women, without limit of nationality,
may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient,
and at the earliest period consistent with its objects,
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
the great and general interests of peace.
