It is said we cannot excel at more than eight things at once – the octopus hasn’t ten arms. We have our foundational four of needs, and the other four we get to choose. At least to create a stable executive structure, which “8” is in Chinese numerology. It serves us to choose to focus…… Continue reading Wants

Snow as metaphor
Snow- my birthday gift (I was born on the snow-moon- almost full moon. ( first draft). [So here I sit swaddled, hot cocoa in hand after my fun foray to clear frontage; writing about it now on my birthday stationary.] I love snow. It hasn’t failed to lift my heart but once… after an ice…… Continue reading Snow as metaphor
St. Valentine’s day Tribute[1]
Valentines day is a time of year, landing in February when all bleak and cheerless, and has been already for 3 months or more up here in the northern hemisphere. Coming off of Christmas and New Year’s festivities. I love the pretty cards and sentiments of affection between two parties, both personal and collectively. and…… Continue reading St. Valentine’s day Tribute[1]
Christmas Update 2021
Insomniac now for many months, I guess it’s time once again to ‘speak’ up, if you will, Hanukkah past and Christmas around the corner. All told, I’ve felt pretty disassociated- weeks turn into months with little form in my calendar. Would I even pass a (mental) status test? At this point I’m not so sure.…… Continue reading Christmas Update 2021
Twelve Steps and “The Promises”
1.We admitted we were powerless over (name your poison)-that our lives had become unmanageable. 2.Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3.Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. 4.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5.Admitted to…… Continue reading Twelve Steps and “The Promises”
Scary Malefics
It doesn’t fail to annoy me- the constant references to “Mercury retrogrades”, squares and all references to the challenge planets of Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto by astrologers; they create much drama and fear that’s unnecessary. These outer planets represent larger perspectives that stress us- and ruffle our individual sovereign self. We’ve only been aware…… Continue reading Scary Malefics
A question- when did you get sullied (or insulted)?
I ask though, if you must do these things before G-d and your prayers, when in these hours between work, eating, and sleeping did you become so sullied?
Some souls come and make a huge splash,
others barely a ripple. some seem to skip and surf across difficult channels, yet land safely. * Your results are what the outside world sees, a deeper self perhaps not. you might never know their story of how life informed their necessities. * What made them choose, to use those props on their stages ringed…… Continue reading Some souls come and make a huge splash,
Love is
Perhaps this is a law of manifestation from the energetic being of spirit- In order to become denser, our spirit spirals right and left as we are cleaved into dyad. Splitting our flame into separateness, when previously there was one. In answering love’s call to creation. We must be ‘man’ and ‘woman’. you can’t create…… Continue reading Love is
Our Jungian Archetypes (I’m not sure if this is posting correctly!)
I am so appreciative of the work of Carl Jung (may he RIP). I wish everybody knew about it. He is a man who really came to understand synchronicities and archetypes. He explored them for a while from the point of near-madness, and produced for us his “Red Book” and the field of analytical psychiatry…… Continue reading Our Jungian Archetypes (I’m not sure if this is posting correctly!)
