Comments on: Tarot Card of the Week, and Blessings of the Scorpio New Moon http://www.owlsdaughter.com/2009/11/blessings-of-the-scorpio-new-moon-ace-of-swords/ Practical Wisdom for Extraordinary Living Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:02:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: dooley worth http://www.owlsdaughter.com/2009/11/blessings-of-the-scorpio-new-moon-ace-of-swords/comment-page-1/#comment-1874 dooley worth Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:20:31 +0000 http://www.owlsdaughter.com/?p=1993#comment-1874 i grew up with a father and two uncles who were journalists. i read seven different newspapers everyday. In college i worked summers as a local reporter. as an adult i have been a social journalist writing about things that strike me as interesting. today, like many of you, i cannot stand more than severely limited exposure to tv news. it is entertainment designed to provoke anger, explain away things we need to deal with, distort issues so they end up looking like inside-out tee shirts. when there is interesting news it is often confined to several runs across the scrolling banner at the bottom of the screen doing something like as mad dash by the road runner. the news it makes me feel like i am from outer space and somehow came here by mistake this bears no resemblance to the country i grew up in, it is like cotton candy and confectioners illusion. i grew up with a father and two uncles who were journalists. i read seven different newspapers everyday.

On a personal note, I have found myself in great contemplation these past few days. Why has this profound need for honesty come to the surface? Where has this extreme need for calm come from? During a time of personal turmoil and possible change on the horizon-calm is embedded within and it stumps me. Your words provide guidance and I thank you!

And this is, too: You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one... And neither are we. Yes, this is poetry. And this is, too:

But I’m not the only one…

And neither are we.

We may have had enough growing and now need to do more tending and planning for a sustainable future. Sometimes I feel like the insane one as I WALK into town to do business with local proprietors and go to my part time jobs; as I engage with my art, do yoga, visit in person with friends, cook locally grown foods, watch NO TV, listen to very little commercial radio, read few newspapers, barter with others for goods and services and commune with like minded souls for a Thanksgiving meal. My art is carrying me through this crazy time, my friends are sustaining my spirit, my own heart knows what is truth and hopes others catch on soon! I pray for a new beginning that opens the eyes of our world and brings the wisdom of the earth, the Mother, to all, especially those in power. I pray, I love, I drum, I draw, I sing, I sew, I weave, I read, I look inward, I share, I teach, I walk, I talk, I write, I sit, I meditate, I dream of peace and watch the stars.

"Hmmmm.... Interesting.." Also, yes a big comet shower tonight and tomorrow (see my posted poem about the Leonids Saturday!) ;-) Yes, a BIG boost of awareness lately; which is why some people are finally wigging out, some are frozen in fear, and some are going.. “Hmmmm….

It's becoming stronger and stronger. Outside expressions come to my attention, thoughts evolve from that, sometimes into negative ones, I keep track and then I say to myself that these thoughts are not beneficial to me, and then it stops. Same with imagination. I drive home, imaginations of a possible positive future event come up, it goes on an on mechanicaly. I realize that these imaginatiions are keeping me from being aware. Once I realize it, it stops. I'm also becoming more aware of negative emotions like Jealousy, anger, fear, pride. Less energy is being wasted. Indeed something is happening out there. "I can smell it and feel it in the air". Are you all also feeling some boosts of awareness lately? Like moving from automatic pilot to manual? By the way, late this night a comet shower is expected.
