Encouragement from our Pragmatic Mystic Ancestors
January 17, 2011
6pm PST, 9pm EST
Waxing Moon in Cancer – opposite Pluto and Mercury at the ancestral Indigenuity degree
Full at last degrees of Cancer Capricorn mid-week
The Solitude of Winter – Dedicating to the Work of Dynamic Beauty: feeling the hum of resonant kinship with admired ancestors,
the likes of John O’Donohue
(Jan.1 1956 – Jan. 4, 2008)
and of course Martin Luther King, both Capricorns, offering council on climbing metaphoric mountains, fortitude to journey us through adversity, the necessity of solitude to cultivate our contributions.
May each of us this week find someone in our ancestral DNA lineage with whom we feel nourishing kinship, part of whose Medicine we wish to add to our brew.
I am Lucky in my Western Ireland heritage, the ground so fertile with interesting dead people.
Here’s John’s timely message, as Jupiter – the story narrator moves into Aries on the 22nd, while Saturn stations. Truly, slow down to speed up
in the just-so of his offering for now:
“In out of the way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.
For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.
It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered.
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.
Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.
Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.
Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Holding nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.”
-John O’Donohue
PLUS, of course, the earned jaunty Trickster spice, not “nice,” but truly kind.
Sun, Neptune and Uranus, all at the 28th degree of their respective signs, integrating all we aspire to be into our literal-metaphoric bones.
“When you acknowledge the integrity of your solitude, and settle into its mystery, your relationships with others take on a new warmth, adventure and wonder.”
“in this post-modern world the hunger to belong has rarely been more intense, more urgent. With many of the ancient, traditional shelters now in ruins, it is as if society has lost the art of fostering community. Consumerism propels us towards an ever-more lonely and isolated existence – although technology pretends to unite us, more often than not all it delivers are simulated images that distance us from our lives”.
“We are forever being stoned by dead sounds. It is interesting in terms of architecture that one of the key bulding materials now is mass concrete. When you strike mass concrete with a hammer, the sound is muffled and dead and swallows itself. When you strike a stone an echo leaps from it; the stone is like an anvil; the music of the stone leaps out.” This is echoed in Divine Beauty, where “the blindness of property development creates rooms, buildings and suburbs which lack grace and mystery. Socially, this influences the atmosphere in the workplace, the schoolroom, the boardroom and the community.”
“Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our days will become.”
“The ancient Celts never separated the visible from the invisible, time from eternity, or the human from the divine. ~ John O’Donohue
