The moon=SUBTLETY “Secret crushing” The Moon and the Sun have nothing in common. The Moon is a planet, the Sun is a star. The Moon doesn’t give light; it reflects light; it is tired of being compared to the Sun. What an unfair fight! The Moon is our hostage, circling us slowly. Balefully. Oh, it…

Dreams = IMAGINATION “Spiritual Connectivity” In Dreams we discover ourselves. Dreams give the lie to the idea that we are simple biological creatures tethered to rituals of attachment, food foraging, illness and death. Because in Dreams we see visions, and we spend we rest of our lives puzzling out their meaning. There has not yet…

Duality=AMBIVALENCE “Love/Hate” The Shadow casts us into Duality, and Duality reminds us that meditating on these opposites in our natures must become part of our standard meditational practice. Whenever we desire to bring a soulmate into existence we have to ask ourselves: what is its opposite? Consider all sides of this equation; consider, also, that…

The shadow=DISSONANCE “Confront your shadow self” We were very young when first we became aware of The Shadow. No happy moment, no celebration of joy as unaffected by its subtle miasma. But what is it exactly? Much of childhood – history itself, in fact – is absorbed by the effort to put a name to…

Winter=DORMANCY “Anything happening?” Winter’s force is shrouded, subtle. The most important changes are happening beyond our vision. The snowshoe rabbit changes fur to pure white for self-protection; he doesn’t have to think about it; it just happens. Other creatures work a little harder. Our art teacher always told us to value the white spaces, because…

Luckily, we are hardwired to perceive Danger. That doesn’t mean we will always perceive it, or even know which direction it’s coming from; Danger is a clever chameleon,…

Synchronicity=EDUCATION: “What do you need to learn?” Synchronicity is more than symbiosis, more than coincidence. Like all true serendipity it contains an element of magic. If the bubbling primordial stew hadn’t brought the right ingredients together at the right time, life as we know I simply couldn’t have begun. There’s strong element of synchronicity in…

Solitude=SELF-SUFFICIENCY “What’s your experience of being alone?” Solitude is not loneliness; it is the Art of Being Alone. Wise Ones have told us that ultimately each of us is only alone; we are born alone and we die alone. Plainly, this cannot be true. We are as social a species as the ants and termites.…

Recovery=REBIRTH “If you don’t have a loving relationship with yourself, no one else will.” “Recovery” begins to happen we manage to repel a demonic force that kept us in thrall – addiction, illusion, corruption, compulsive behavior; even a poisonous culture. Sometimes we were hostage to another human being who didn’t have our best interests at…

Rainbow=SERENDIPITY “Greatest good luck?” Rainbows have vast cultural, religious, and psychological implications. They announce that the storm is past and offer a gateway to somewhere obviously special, right up there in the sky, a glittering gateway beckoning with every color in the spectrum. “There’s a land that I dream of,” sang Judy Garland yearningly and…
