This is the rush of growth in the spring. The maniacal meandering of the mind into the wild heart of possibilities. Pure spiritual energy: a shot of life’s essence complete. It can be harnessed with great focus, but not without danger like breaking a wild horse. There is always energy loss in this process as well, but nothing comes without a price.

Posted on September 29, 2018 by randomyriad

hanged manYou find yourself in a position of enforced stasis, either by forces beyond your control or by fears or uncertainty, and are waiting for release of some kind. You must examine the evidence about what brought you to this place and begin to make adjustments that will free your mind and spirit from this situation.

You are in a situation in which a sacrifice is necessary in order to move forward or you must retreat in either case there will be some kind of price to pay. The situation in which you dwell is untenable and impossible to maintain as it is.

There is a decision you must make or some major commitment you are avoiding and you are living in denial because commitment would mean uncertainty and possible death or injury or loss. You must put your energy into some kind of plan. Sacrifice is not the worst form pain.

You have an opportunity to sacrifice something for the benefit of others or to gain wisdom in order to become more enlightened and connected to your path.

It is time to retreat from sensuality and distractions to consider the way forward in your life. There will be support for this, but it will also mean giving up things that bring you comfort for a time.

Autumn Poems #1

Posted on September 27, 2018 by randomyriad

Leaves of Fire

burn at the ends of branches

reaching into the air

tearing in into the world

consuming the evergrowing tree

that draws fuel from the earth

from roots searching deep in soil

coiled, locked around rocks

dissolving into fluid stone

feeding the flaming tree,

star light and elements

all the same stuff

broken and burned

into the sky.

 

IMG_0215Can we see the whole picture ever?

Where is the door

we wandered out of at the beginning

into this world crowded with

sensation?  Each experience

a door into another world

and more doors.

The return is never through

the same doors.

Posted on September 26, 2018 by randomyriad

You can’t win ’em all.

And, if you could what would you learn from that?

It could be that you are in denial about some aspect of your life that you are hanging on to. The longer you cling to the false hope the higher the ultimate cost to you and perhaps others will be.

The fates are against you in this losing cause; it is time to wake up to the facts. You have lost and must negotiate a surrender will allow you to spare you and those you fight with the worst of the consequences.

Scan_20180918

You might be involved in an escalating conflict in which pride or vanity is at stake that may end up becoming dangerous in a more physical or emotional way and you need to call a halt to it and come to terms with the other party before it gets too serious.

Careful examination of facts in their proper order to determine the appropriate action. All consideration must be taken to abide by the law and tradition or create a new ritual to retain order.

Accepting defeat is not the end of any important cause,  just the beginning of rising out of smoke and dust wiser for the experience earned in the struggle imbued with the energy of justice denied. Or, you may walk away to find more winnable battles.
