Waxing Moon in cahoots with Pluto square Uranus- Woo-Hoo -We’re Really in It Now, Team!
Accelerating Discombobulation – in one world;
Venusian Recombobulating while Spiraling into Collaborative Mystery – in another.
Take your pick… We pick both!

drought, fires, floods, storms….harbingers of more and bigger,truly reaping the whirl-wind. Here in my magical holler up-stream from D.C., no power. 100+ degrees.
Yet magical. Neighbor’s pool, now pine-scented.The heavenly scent of pine wafting everywhere, an offering to heal our stupidity, perhaps? (Remember Diana Berseford-Kreuger saying, “walk into a pine forest, you will always come out smarter.” The aerosols enliven our brain and whatnot.)
So, it seems, what the hell, fitting for me to convene our Monday Trickster Council by candle-light on a land-line.
Much mythic beauty from up-heaval: Dark Nights, liberation from all electro-magnetic humm (Mostly. Fie, o neighbor’s rudely loud generator,intruding into lyrical night, silenced thankfully due to the gas shortage. Truly, all micro-macro metaphoric.)
Liberated from all non-survival concerns, (survival,, including the well-being of all our animal, fish, plant relations, as they are Ambassadors from their People. Aerating and encouraging the fish…Yes, it be dark, but here’s air and defrosting mosquito larva. We’re gonna be fine.)
Antonio Machado: “What have we done with the garden that was entrusted to us?” queries everything.
Reading, by candle-light, the end of Charles de Lints “Spirit Walk,” where, due to out-of-kilter humans, the primeval forest moves (back) into human world, with a ferocity directly related to the force of its exclusion. Around me, just so, the wake of the wild, holy moly-sacred storms, the forest everywhere. The DC Beltway blocked by trees. The Mythic World insists. And we are very lucky, to survive calamity and gain access to reflective magic.
The image of Obama with the fire responders in Colorado literalizing his ascendant – 18+ Aquarius “Weary Fire-fighters”finally bring a volatile force into balance. And the Republican-libertarains with the irony deficiency to demand, “Why doesn’t the Forest Service have more resources?”
We might wonder how we would be experiencing the field described by Pluto squaring Uranus, if we, culturally, were well on our way to collaborating with Nature to restore dynamic balance, and save as much life as possible. How would Pluto square Uranus encourage our direction and be describing our circumstance? But we’re not.
Yet we want to invite the other desirable story into the present debacle.
Kairos is the energy of a time where worlds intersect.
With manners.
When Uranus-Pluto then Neptune – Fairy Tales, Myth, Metaphor, Eloquence for they can guide us through the harrowing journey to restore the waters of life.
As Robert Bly said years ago, lifting a line from Gioa Timponelli, “Sometimes the Soul-” we twist our ankle and end up reading something that informs our journey.
So adorably,after the storm, by flashlight, I happened upon Robert’s book he wrote with Marion Woodman “The Maiden King.”
“The yearning for our perfect love, the loss of all we hoped for, the eruption of chaos, the possible refinding…We feel more whole after being in touch with these patterns because their plot lines take us in the direction of our own potential wholeness.” (Woodman). The story is “not about heroism, but about failure nd repair; it is not so much about bravado as about learning courtesy.” (Bly) “The young man in our story takes one look at the ecstatic feminine
and falls asleep. He forgets…” (Bly) Or “drowns,” as in the limerick: Here’s to brave young Jack – swam 3 miles out and two miles back.”
Let’s encourage us all to get safely back to shore.As Bly also says to “celebrate keeping our small boats afloat – when so many have gone down in the storm.”
As we Rumi-nate on circumstance, strategy and collaborative magic, let us,with our small boats afloat, in our creative disruption, be agents of security for the lives of all beings, especially those in our immediate realm of intimacy.
When disruption occurs, we wonder how it brings to us that which makes us better agent-guides through disruption.
