spherepetDreams loom larger than ever, and we may try harder to reach them now. The Moon’s entry into idealistic Sagittarius at 8:01 am EDT brings a healthy dose of positive thinking, but too much confidence means trouble if we lose touch with reality. Meanwhile, active Mars creates a magical connection with nebulous Neptune, enticing us with our own fantasies. Although we might get glimpses of the future, illusions can cloud the truth and lead us astray.
You may spin a wild yarn today without even realizing you deviated from the truth. Normally, you have a knack for establishing objectivity into an emotionally charged situation, but you appear to have lost your bearings now. Fortunately, no harm will come from your current dance with fantasy as long as you don’t try to pass it off as fact. Others will likely see through your current tendency to exaggerate, so it's wise if you catch yourself first. Staying busy helps to keep you out of trouble. Poet Bill Copeland wrote, “The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.”
Today started off with only a few little distant clouds in the bright blue sky. I did manage to get four hours of sleep to start off with my 9:00 am appointment with Canada Care. There was a big repair for the foot plate and a service of my electric wheelchair. I am certainly happy to have left my little chicken scratch for the hour and a half I spent waiting for the work to be done.
On my way back home, I stopped off at Alternatives. The horsey girl is the owner and manager of the super creative store for adult knick knacks and toys. Horsey girl was about ten minutes late in opening her store at 11:10 am so I sat reading my latest book on my cellphone. Waiting is never a waste of time for me. I can always find something to do to wile away the hours.
Horsey girl and I talked for an hour and a half about ourselves and all kinds of stuff we had experienced in our working lives. It doesn’t surprise me that we have lots of things in common with each other. We are both intelligent achievers who have worked hard for most of our lives. And, we are learning just how diverse humanity can be. It can be amazing how people are a little bit of this and a little bit of that, changing and evolving with circumstances and time.
Circumstance and time are variables that affect life in unpredictable ways. We don’t predict the future any more than what we try to plan. Planning is only a start in our attempts to control what goes on around us. There is so little beyond actual planning that we can do to achieve our ambitions and dreams.
As much as I enjoyed talking with my friend, I had to go and continue on my way back home. Near home Bank Street crosses over Sawmill Creek close to where a lot of repair work is being done. I saw the creek water level was low and that the repairs of flood damage to the bridge and embankments were progressing. I couldn’t see much of what was below me more than part of an embankment, a foot bridge over a short stretch of the shallows that were almost as wide and as long beneath thick foliage of bushes and trees.
I must have spent more than ten minutes at studying the scene below me. A few pedestrians passed by on the sidewalk. I was in no hurry to leave where I had stopped up against the Crusader wire fence guarding the east side of the cement sidewalk. I lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before I clicked the on button of my electric wheelchair. It was only a short distance before I would be home safe and sound. I could cover that distance in less than five minutes which is just what I did do. Home again, home again.
