They fell from my grasp, the cards each one diving to their deaths into my carpet of tranquility. I sat in dismay . . . And the fingers, my own, were splayed like that of the statue of the Virgin Mary. My head tilted sideways in pity, my eyes . . . softening as much as stone can soften I wonder if the tenth house is proud to have me as a sponsor, so to say, I mean being so flighty as I am, I do not seem to fit the mold . . . let me check my mailbox there just may be a pink slip . . . Oh, how I long to tiptoe across the sky touching each constellation, taking with me a part of history. or was it her-story . . . hmmm . . . I am tired of being a goat, you know? and the son of man sounds nice and all sigh I cannot swim that well, and am definitely not the lamb of God. I am not strong like a bull, although I do enjoy flight. And a twin would only cause me a migraine. Oh, but to wax and wane with the moon now that sounds fascinating. Or to be the heart of the zodiac. But I am not really a lion, nor am I the best hostess. I tend to stick to the other side of the law and I do not care for the color red, nor am I narcisstic in nature. I can be adventurous . . . Like a goat, embarking down a craggy embankment. Her head tilted in dismay. Wondering to herself how she happened to end up exactly where she began. [This message has been edited by littlewing (08-24-2004 10:15 PM).] |

 understanding this circling syndrome, and this climbing down from craggy cliffs 'bout time you got yourself back in here  BTW, what does this tenth house business mean? I'm not knowledgeable in that realm. LOL, guess that's obvious. |

The wheel always takes us back. Sometimes it spins so fast that holding on is hard; sometimes we let go and tumble like a card in freefall. I have missed you. |

Like the softness of what we really do believe, cleanses that which we dream to breath. So will time, never to judge. Allowing the newness of which we are, to always be. Missed you lw. wayne If nothing is something |

Thank you Dawn Icey, God you are so right, but why taking us back, I mean sometimes I think I hold on too tight . . . I missed you too Hey Martie, *smile* I have much catching up to do and much more learning . . . Wayne, that was absolutely beautiful and My God, exactly what I need . . . how did you ever know? But you always did know . . . missed you too (you better be takin' care of dark . . .) *smile* Thank you guys |

It's good to read you again, Sue. And tho astrology is only a dabble o mine, I do seem to recall reading something somewhere that related that the ideal goal of astrology study was to transform oneself past descriptions dictated by birth. OH wow. Now that makes purty good sense, huh? *chuckle* But the idea is the wheel as constant evolution whilst maintaining the positive attributes of each sign. Therein the trick lies... but I run my head again. Welcome back to Pip. Enjoyed. |

"Wondering to herself how she happened to end up exactly where she began." Great ending, but I enjoyed the entire penning. Like your other groupies(smile), it is nice to see you once again. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

I can be adventurous . . . Like a goat, embarking down a craggy embankment. Her head tilted in dismay. Wondering to herself how she happened to end up exactly where she began. I've lived most of my life on that asteroid. The scenery's not much, but at least gravity doesn't get in the way......I can leap so farrrrr......... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Michele, you are much too good to me it is your fault I am seated at this table missy! *smile* K . . . *smile* it is good to be read . . . what you say makes so much sense, because what I have written is exactly that, wishing to be a part of each, it is attaining that where I have difficulty and I guess wondering - you answered my question as usual, without meaning to . . . *smile* thank you Karen Karilea, such a warm hug from someone sorely missed . . . thank you Lady . . . Thank you Wayne, I will take a peek for sure . . . Kahlil . . *smile* it has been a long time . . . my friend . . . thank you Thank you Rd - I hope I covered the topic correctly. Hey Dix - I was waiting for you missy! That was very sweet . . . Thanks Phil, this isnt what I planned on writing, but is what popped out . . . Thank you Ken (groupies OMG NOT!) I am embarrassed . . . Thank you Lee - from such a beautiful poetess . . . Hey Ed . . *smile* missed you . . . who says gravity doesnt get in the way hmm? *laughing* Ron, *sigh* you are right - what a child I have been . . . for some odd reason, my answers lie in front of me all the time - I just tend to keep my eyes closed for too long . . . thank you Thank you Sharon . . . Hey jo . . thank you so much! Thank you everyone . . . |

I tend to stick to the other side of the law and I do not care for the color red, nor am I narcisstic in nature. ================================= the imagery in this is impressive... such unique, fascinating self exploration and expression. Your poetry always has that quality... your own very unique signature style. Welcome back to the blue pages girlie..so good to read you again. |
