Dreaming Again...

Dreaming Again...

I don't know what it is, but today's  practice has set me dreaming again, planning for the future, hoping again and feeling... lighter and happier. Like Radiohead said "fitter, happier, more productive," but without the tongue-in-cheek connotations. I'm liking the way I feel today. Today's day 15 of my second month in and I'm halfway through a milestone goal! Ironically, just a few weeks after the New Moon in Sagittarius, today is the occasion of a literal half moon 🌙 in the sky -- all silvery and shimmering with the promise of new beginnings!  I want to start planning for my vacations and putting things in motion for the year to come! I know that I can do everything that I set my mind to. I can start to live more freely and openly. I can truly be me! I'm stepping into my own skin and feeling more comfortable in it with each passing day. I'm releasing the shame, guilt, grief, pain, resentments, regrets, and recriminations from the past. A new light is dawning on the horizon. I can dream again! Read again! Live life with passion again! Allow again! Hope again! Be again! I am me again.



Today's tarot card from the "Energy Oracle Cards" deck by Sandra Anne Taylor is  Caring Connections drawn in reverse. Again this is about coming to terms with loss. I guess my body mind and soul is still grieving and that is O.K. with me. I feel positive about the changes that are coming my way. I'm coming to terms with all kinds of separations and letting in new, fresh energy. I express gratitude for all the wonderful people, places and things in my life and I know that great things, bigger, better, awesome things are, to quote Disney's "Pocahontas", "just around the river bend"!

Just Around The River Bend

Lyrics

What I love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that…

What I love most about rivers is
You can't step in the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing

But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing

What's around the river bend
Waiting just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend
Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for what I dream the day might send
Just around the river bend for me, coming for me

I feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming?

For a handsome sturdy husband who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?

Just around the river bend
Just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend
Beyond the shore somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for why do all my dreams extend
Just around the river bend, just around the river bend

Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum? Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, dream giver
Just around the river bend?
