Planets & Stars = ETERNITY “Eternal Welcome”

The Night Sky above our Garden reveals many secrets. The first secret is that we are a World within Worlds. And we are assured that there are worlds beyond even these, through the contradictory notions that the universe is both infinite and expanding. What a metaphor for life & growth! The poetry of the stars and planets is such that our history can be told through the names and patterns of constellations that are shifting. The ancients placed “heaven” right up there, with Gods & Goddesses looking down at us as we look up at them, playing with us as if we were scientific mice running an experimental maze. We are even seeing dead light from stars that no longer burn; a time traveling conundrum that makes a hash of what we know of past & present. Given these facts alone many of our inherited concepts about “reality” seem naiive to say the least. New physics posits the possibility that time travel could age us so slowly we become younger than our own children.

If our minds are our ticket to eternity, teaching us how to rise above our earthly circumstances, we can signal to others; “I am eternal. Are you eternal?” Many people believe they are “in the Now” because they are bouncing on the surface of the moment, but they are really water spiders skimming the waves, fearful of “falling in.” You are not a person who is afraid of depth. Instead, you will convey the deep peace and truth of living every moment connected to Eternity. The Planets & Stars card reminds us to turn on our inner searchlight. Our person is close; very close. “Are you Eternal?”

Love, the Magician

The Magician is a Capricorn
Bleeding cock’s milk from his nipples
Pale like mine but
Maler.
Illusion, he says is
Memory of what should have been.
Doves and rabbits he entices
From sacred groves between my legs
Perhaps by ruse, perhaps by art.
When he dies, passion turns his eyes
To quarters.
He hears the world but faintly
Through his one good ear.
The other’s turned to me,
The safecracker’s daughter.
Trust the magician, voices tell me
He knows when to drop the dice.
