The mythic nature of star lore continues to capture my imagination, sometimes new AI technology does too! And this pondering of stars, Pisces, fish and our cultural spin is taking an interesting turn as I am swirl writing again.

On the 18th our Sun entered Pisces, some say that at 0 degrees Pisces marks the beginning now of the Aquarian age. We certainly are in motion of moving times and events. Days so full of creative options and stimulation that is may be challenging to center into the “Now”.

It seems that embracing acceptance of the moment anchors a core presence. Each inhale inviting a space in between the known and unknown, exhale to find yourself in the next Now moment.

“We breathe in and out about 22,000 times a day. We are powered by breathing. Our lungs fuel us with oxygen, our body’s life-sustaining gas. Our lungs breathe in air, then remove the oxygen and pass it through our bloodstream, where it’s carried off to the tissues and organs that allow us to walk, talk, and move. ” https://www.lung.ca

As we have entered the sign of Pisces, naturally a question arises, How do fish breath ? https://www.livescience.com/how-do-fish-breathe Yes, they have gils, hmmm, how does a mermaid breathe ?

Lungs are said to be the organ of grief, lungs massage the heart, these organs have quite a relationship of give and take, Gemini rules the Lungs, Leo the Heart and Pisces the Feet. The medicine way says that we heal thru our feet…imagine that your feet have a soulful (soleful) relationship with your heart and breath, how present are you in your feet ?

When your mermaid self transforms to walk on land She must become present in her feet, more purposeful and connected to terra firma, her gils more than likely undergo a metamorphoses for land breathing… How is your land breath ?

Join me on Monday for a bit of Swirl Writing in our Creative Pages, taking the form of journal, altared book or Cosmic SmashBook, Visually explore how your are landing in and on your feet….or taking to the waters with a mermaids tail…

Writing a blog is not so easy.

What more is there to say in this world of non stop information ? I wonder as I free write this morning.

Well, as ever, there is always more to express.

This week my community felt the sorrow of mass shooting. It was more close to home than was comfortable as tho any violence anywhere is comfortable.

Our tears are flowing. The city and campus grieving. Praying from a state of shock and prayer that my area would be spared, as the city just didn’t know the next unfolding eruption of violence. Sheltering in place, lights out, I reached out to long distance friends for support, am so thankful that it was there. Then the arc of concern grew as the news revealed the sorrows that families will bear for those who were harmed, killed & injured in the physical statement of ones life ending. For those in close proximity to the event, they will be dealing with reverberating fears for some time to come, perhaps forever.

Take your sorrows, sighs and hope to the Creative Page

How do we live thru changing times, within this compression of experiences in this mystery of expansion & becoming ?

Can we weave hope into our communities thru the sorrows of the mental illness & trauma that grips our psyches and cities ?Becoming into wholeness takes intentional focus, self care and patience.

Ponder resilience.

re·sil·ience

/rəˈzilēəns/

noun

1. 1.the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.”the remarkable resilience of so many institutions”
2. 2.the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.

Then we take to the page, either written or visual, perhaps it is to music making, we take our feelings to Creative Expressions to transform, to express, to work it out, to land into a new sense of being and Self. A place to connect with our Soul.
