Mirrors can be powerful tools and useful symbols for you in the coming days. When is the last time you gazed serenely into your own eyes for at least ten minutes? Try it! If you’re brave, go on from there: Actually talk to the interesting creature you see reflected back at you. Ask questions. Give advice. Sing songs. And if you’re even braver, move on to the next project: Bring a friend or loved one to the mirror, and converse with each other’s images. Tell each other the kinds of raw, shimmering truths that can only be revealed in a mirror.

Well. Once again I’ve been a bit ahead of the game…  It sure has been raw but also shimmering truth time.  Virtual mirror I guess.  I will do this solitary as well.

I’ve been invited by sanguis_bella to participate in a new moon tonight but I reluctantly declined.  What a good and valuable friend.  The last two weeks have been full of drama, not just my own.  My phone has been ringing off the hook when I haven’t been babysitting or driving folks or just being there.  I’m so worn out. 

My mother called with an update.  My brother and nephew have made it home without a hitch.  Jean is lucid and responsive and communicative today.  A doctor from France is flying to Seattle to accompany him home on the flight.  This is covered by his flight insurance!  Awesome.  The worst is over, for now.  It is terminal and no one knows how long he has but at least now he can go home and be with his family in a familiar place and pass in peace.

I’m working on manifestations, dreams, desires, and lists right now and will probably be spending what free time I can cocooning, meditating, processing, writing, lots of healing work.

No matter how hurt I am I need to live in love. And I have never met any one more deserving of unconditional love than The Ex, My Beloved. I know that the couple relationship is over. We’ve both done what we needed to do there and it’s time to move on from that phase of our relationship in this lifetime. I also know that a friendship relationship will come one day and one day soon. You have been my love for hundreds of lifetimes in one way or another. My son, my brother, my lover, my friend, my sparkles in the sun, the bright dolphin swimming beside me, the unicorn of golden horn loving me in the dappled sun.  You *were* the dappled sun. I know you know this and I know you feel the same way. And no matter what, NO MATTER WHAT, you are always beloved to me.

I know that you never meant to hurt me. I know that “screw you” was really a desperate plea to the universe to help you find yourself. You weren’t trying to hurt me, you were fighting for your independence. An independence that only you could give yourself. No matter how much I gave you, it was of little consequence because right now you have to give it to yourself. I know that you are a drowning man just trying to get to the top and breathe.  It was never about me.  I understand these things very clearly. I know you do too.

You are a dear, kind, loving, person with a heart of gold. You have not been treated as such in this lifetime as much as you needed. I am that kind of person too. And I too have been treated badly. I KNOW that we are here together this time around because we are supposed to help heal each other. And sometimes I guess you have to burn something to the ground in order for the phoenix to rise from the ashes into the glorious sun. I’m sorry that we burned each other but I know that we will both come out of this with many blessings.

I count my blessings from you already. These are the things you have given me.

• All I have to do is ask and the Universe will give anything I desire
• I am worthy of a man’s love and there are men out there who know how to love
• I will find more love, exactly what I am looking for
• That I can give of myself and expect nothing in return, although it’s still something I need to work on I’ve made huge progress
• Sparkles and a side of myself that had been buried for a very long time
• You loved me like no one ever has.  You gave me so very much joy and compassion and fun and laughter and wonderful joyous loving sex.  Something I’ve never experienced in this life time.

You are always welcome to read my journal, to see how I’m doing, to find solace and healing and messages there.

May your life continue to blossom and shine and fly.  May you find all the love you need from inside yourself.  May you never hunger, may you never thirst.

Love
Mwoi

In the fifth century B.C., the culturally rich city-state of Athens was a democracy, while militaristic Sparta was a dictatorship. But they put aside their differences and came together in a great collaboration to fight off the Persian invasion of Greece. I suspect you may make a similar move in 2008, Cancerian. A person or institution you have regarded as an adversary could become your ally. An influence from which you have always set yourself apart may help you pull off a feat of strength you couldn’t have done otherwise.

Hahahaha!  I’m always a few steps early.  I would have to say that my recent experiences with love and betrayal have certainly helped me find my strength, my power, my freedom, my joy. 

Pwaise Hestia!
