Free will astrology
Posted on | March 23, 2008 |
I picked up the local free paper this morning, after twirling around the house putting what appears to be an endless collection of toys and cups and socks back into their places, and found this (by Bob Brezsny):
AQUARIUS: The composer Stravinsky had written a new piece with a difficult violin passage,” writes Thomas powers, quoted in the book Sunbeams. “Afyter it had been in rehearsal for several weeks, the solo violinis came to Stravinsky and said he was sorry, he had tried his best, the passach was too difficult, no violinist could play it. Stravinsky said, ‘I understand that. What I am after is the sound of someone trying to play it.” Keep this story close to your heart in the coming week, Aquarius. It will give you the proper perspective as you, too, go about the work of doing the best you can at a task that is virtually impossible to perfect.
See? The universe has my back. Apparently all I need to do is listen.

It has been sunny all weekend (Happy Easter!) and being out in the sun almost feels like being drunk. The intoxication of brightness. The way the angles of light outline new buds: the silent beginnings of another growing season. I’m still lurching about, trying to find a blanance: trying to be outdoors every single second of the day, and still trying to get everything else done (writing, laundry, vacuuming, minutia.) So far I don’t seem to be succeeding all that well. But then I read the above and try hard to just be.

I read the freewill astrology every week and I am an aquarius, too. The same script you mentioned has effected me deeply ,too.
We feel like we have to settle down everything, and put everything in order. If someone reminds us that we don’t have to infact is really good.

oh my fellow aquarian!!
I’m tired of trying to do ANYthing!!! winter has completely (I had typed “comkpletely”– I think I like that better . .ha) taken every bit of everything I have– but, that can’t be true as here it is Monday and I must continue on.
DO come round in the Spring– well, you know, in April– surely not the same things for us, non? Lizardek and her mom are coming again last weekend of April–26 ish . . .
If that doesn’t work for you ANYTIME– house is always open!!

I’m checking my calendar immediately. I would swoon to see you both again–at the same time.
And Sandy: the easter eggs are done so easily with crayons first (Bean did that part) then dipped into dye.
