Solid pink clouds across the sky,
Were mountains in another life.
Smoke from my incense burns
Deep into the night.
And I can find no sleep...
Saturn is opposing my sanity
And Mercury is changing colors in my mind.
Hanging on to the slow dawn I know
That sanity is overrated,
My Daddy told me so....

Two hundred feet from my Daddy's grave my baby rests her head..
"Life turns on a dime" the nurse said as words of comfort....
Preparation is always inadequate after the fact, I know
"You have tried" I was told..."You did all you could"
I am thinking of so many other things and different outcomes
My bag should be empty of stones long before I met the stream.

.



Is it possible that being slow to grow is a genetic disease?
Cold comfort when all intuition has failed me with my own
The Judgement card says "Guilty"
If only there were victimless sins....
My baby rests her head 200 feet from my Daddy's grave.
And I would willingly join him if that would make things right.


Is it self indulgence that my images have other people in them?
I pledged I would not turn away, but I shut my eyes.
"You are not God" my friend said...true words
A flawed optimist not in denial...still insisting on hope
I take comfort Daddy watches over my baby tonight
Until she's back with me....

I love to swim and since I was a child my favorite thing is to float...I don't need a raft...I just like to float...and I go where the water takes me with my eyes closed.

My wish is that I could live my life that way floating (head always strategically above water) on my imaginary pillow. Sometimes I bump my head on the side of the pool....a small price to pay for the calming water and the sun. I drift almost asleep and I lose track of where I am.

Come to think of it maybe I do live my life like that....

Mercury is retrograde again....Venus is Opposing Saturn....

The truth is astrology fascinates me. I do not live my life by it, but I have a healthy respect for the heavens. That being said I once had the chart of the December Full Moon interpreted as my natal chart on the Stream.

Sometimes I feel I have been misunderstood and unfairly targeted on the stream. And sometimes being confused by life in general I have been confused here, as well.

So if these influences have an effect on communications I think maybe here it will be amplified. Astrology to me is a signpost of opportunities and challenges. And there is a unique set of events in the heavens these days...

Pluto's position prior to retrograde motion is particularly interesting this month, it "stands still" at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way, located at approximately 26 degrees Sagittarius. Such an event is without precedence since Pluto's discovery in 1930. We do not know what it means (maybe nothing at all).

Mercury is retrograde for nearly the entire month of March. A Mercury retrograde event marks a time of miscommunications, errors in understanding, logistical screw-ups, and verbal and written misunderstandings. In short, this perception of Mercury retrograde invokes "Murphy's Law" to anything surrounding communication, language, and dissemination of information; if anything can go wrong in these arenas, during Mercury retrograde, they will. The more perceptive understanding of Mercury retrograde is that it characterizes a time period of greater caution, reflection, and deliberativeness in speech, writing, and communication. The retrograde period of Mercury correlates with a time to retrace what one has been actively thinking, writing, and communicating in the last months.

Given approximately a five degree orb of influence, Venus opposes Saturn from March 5th through 16th. With this opposition, the pleasure principle associated with Venus meets the constraining, judgmental, and conservative expressions of the astrological Saturn. I THINK IT IS INTERESTING THAT SEX IS IN THE AIR.....I EXPECT SATURN TO KICK IN.

So in Solid's words "Take Gentle Care"...my friends
