"Incompatible by Ordinary Criteria..."

I've done ordinary...it doesn't work for me. Imagine that.

In my waking dreams I feel him. Although I haven't a clue who he is...I know who he is. I know how he feels. Sometimes the energy shifts my vibration, washes over me like a warm wave. When this happens, I close my eyes, take in a deep breath imagining his scent, the feel of his hand, and skin next to mine. Goosebumps ripple through..." - from my journal

Recently, someone new in my life shared something from "The Book of Life"...


"...Is chastity denial? Do you think you can go far through renunciation? Do you really think there can be peace through conflict? Does not the means matter infinitely more than the end? The end may be, but the means is. The actual, the what is, must be understood and not smothered by determinations, ideals, and clever rationalizations. Sorrow is not the way of happiness. The thing called passion has to be understood and not suppressed or sublimated, and it is no good finding a substitute for it. Whatever you may do, any device that you invent, will only strengthen that which has not been loved and understood. To love what we call passion is to understand it. To love is to be in direct communion; and you cannot love something if you resent it, if you have ideas, conclusions about it. How can you love and understand passion if you have taken a vow against it? A vow is a form of resistance, and what you resist ultimately conquers you. Truth is not to be conquered; you cannot storm it; it will slip through your hands if you try to grasp it. Truth comes silently, without your knowing. What you know is not truth, it is only an idea, a symbol. The shadow is not the real." - The Book of Life

I'm still pondering...going deeper. The past 10 months have passion sprinkled throughout. If anything, I've had more passion whether with friends, work, family, yoga, dancing or with myself, I feel passion. I feel passion breathing at times.

That's the difference between last year and this year. Passion was nowhere and now it's everywhere. There's never been a TIME like this. And hey there is a new moon in Taurus coming next week...are you ready? I have it in the 8th house with Saturn Retro, ruled by Pluto, Death and Rebirth. Gotta love Pluto. Ahem...transform away, never the same. Cheers to extra-ordinary...The past, present and future really deep.

From the share above, "the shadow is not the real", but the shadow is always with us. Do you know your shadow? Understanding mine more and more...just sayin'.
