I've been thinking to myself all dayTrying to figure it out
Trying to figure what the riddle is
What is it all about?
Neurons fire
The geese cry
One more increment is passed

brought forward from a previous post... you said:
I think instead of going into others and then having to reunite with the self, I want see if I can stay united with myself as I go. The feeling this arouses is so pleasurable it's amazing. They can all do exactly what they will. I stand.
This is very powerful, jm.
Thank you for these words.
Easier said, of course, jane.
My habit is immediately abandoning myself in the merging, which is old familiar territory. It's so hard to do, keeping some back for myself. Right now, I'm working in a disciplined way, and making specific rules to follow, extreme in some cases, to stay united. The greatest freedom I can think of is to let others be, even when they come crashing into my territory. They can pick themselves up and leave when they get it. I have to make choices...what to tangle with and what not to.
Rules...
I used to have (practically) no rules (going into a relationship). I could have a relationship with (practically) anybody. Just grab any old Tom, Dick or Harriet off the street and go! Right! ::rolls eyes:: The truth was that I *did* have rules. 100 million rules. Which I then, *after the fact*, attempted to impose on the other and on the relationship! Hehe!
Now I *have* rules. Up front. Written-down, unequivocal rules. A thick, multi-page list of non-negotiables, and semi-negotiables. Which pretty much guarantees I will never cross Go again in my life!! ROFL... Which means nobody (me or the other party) will ever have to worry about (living up to the) rules!!
Seriously. I am so *not* ready for a next relationship. And I know it. It's the pendulum thing. I am very aware that I once existed at one extreme, and that I have now, by some natural law, swung to the other extreme. Both equally insane.
Need to find my rightful 'middle'.
The Saturn square your nodes will bring it back to the middle, with Pluto. A new middle, probably permanent.
That would be... will be... so nice...
I'm ready to be ready!! :-)
Oh my God. Look what I found.
My Sag friend took the remnants of that shattered egg and created something new with it! The interior is covered with thin holographic paper, and a matching faux opal pendant hangs from within.
I am so touched.
goosebumps literally.
I am in awe of your friend. What a glory. A resurrection of highest order.
joe, that is very touching!!
what a great friend!!
i love your friend's attitude; i love people whose head and heart function that way
talk about a 'silver lining' !
:-)
and you know? this could be the birth of a whole new art form!
i like this as an end product
you may want to intentionally 'fracture' some eggs in the future, and see what wants to be born of each!
:-)
Oh My God is right.
So free, unusual, and spirited.
This really is a portent, this whole Neptune/Saturn egg affair. Goose bumps is right.
What a friend. Is this telling us something about our Sagittarius?
resurrection of highest order.
Another good one, tseka.
"Silver lining." Good one, jane!
Isn't it something? The funny thing is, my Sag friend was here last weekend, staying with us, and everyone was at each other's throat for reasons I can guess at but can't say for sure. So he really got my goat then, but I forgave him when I found this little piece.
I do enter these eggs in the state fair competition each year, for that division of artwork involving beeswax castings, to which this art technically belongs.
I had a wild thought of entering this piece anyway, because it was my original intent before it broke. I will have to approach the state fair board and ask if this would be acceptable. Maybe I'll ask, "Is there an "oops" category?"
It's not entirely my own work, not anymore, but they don't have to know that. :o)
