Equinoxes in the Universe

I'm glad to find some material on how Equinoxes happen on other planets. Let's weave it into a story. Once in an age, when the Sun’s path crosses the cosmic center, the planets convene. Each brings its equinox tale as wisdom for the council: Saturn rose first, cloaked in rings of shadow. “Balance is fleeting,” … Continue reading Equinoxes in the Universe

Uranian Instincts

Seasons span decades on Planet Uranus, maybe because of the axial tilt. The planet is known for its eccentric and quirky nature. I wonder if the Universe sees humanity in the same way. Nobody really knows why they act the way they do. Our world has seasons of creativity, technology, hatred, war and peace. In … Continue reading Uranian Instincts

Planets

I’m fascinated by astrology. And the author who ignited this was Linda Goodman.

The idea that the movement of planets light-years away can impact our lives fills us with wonder. And then, of course, the personalities … Continue reading Planets

Aether

Finally, God spoke and the Universe reverberated with fright and awe. It’s not easy being the medium through which beliefs, experience and faith flow. I find myself inadequate to transform everything into a single look. My creations are Frankensteins. They mock and challenge my efforts, and then place me on a pedestal to perform rituals … Continue reading Aether

School Reunion

I have sensed the discomfort some people feel in alumni reunions. Not everybody has grown at the same pace.
