April: come she will . . . (4/17)


Spring arrives with her journeys along the various elements.


Water surrounds us always: rivers and oceans and atmospheres of higher mind calling to be explored. The current is swift and precarious and calls us to the right/write to find our way to solid land . . . where perhaps . . . what is fluid and esoteric might take earthly form? Perhaps the dolphin is the Hermetic link between those worlds—supporting and leading us toward the feast awaiting us. The cheese? The “milky” way/whey waiting for us to partake?


Another journey is unfolding on the earthly mountain top that holds its own danger . . the danger of going down. We seek safer routes to our destinations and the wise elder honors limits; at the same time that same elder in that same living room spoke of singing his great song, or not! Is going down carefully the only message from the mountain top? Moses saw the spark that ignites the universe burn but not consume that bush; the fires that burn within on harsh mountain tops give us the vision to see what we miss from down below. (golden calf worship being omnipresent) but that great song! Not to be ignored or to ‘lose sight’ of.


And yes: the partner, the friend, or the guest is being stalked (?) by a great lion, a beast that lives not in this land, a foreigner with great strength, not to be denied. Is the queen in danger? Great mystery and uncertainty lurks here. Is what we call danger in the stream, trekking down the mountain, or with a fierce creature, risk to be denied or maybe, the wake-up call so we “don’t go back to sleep.”


Our dream ‘cave’ is older than ancient Greece and probably as playful as modern Grease if we don’t take ourselves to seriously.

There’s nothing to fear, it’s all ‘in the cards’ so beautifully drawn by the visiting artist, thank you Carmen for reminding us.
(again, please excuse my projections within the mix). B
