#13. Wounded Healer / Chiron

Chiron represents the inner- Cargiving / Healer who
is so focused on healing others, neglects healing Self.

He was the King of all Centaurs, in Greek Mythology.
He studied Medicine with Apollo and became a Healer.
Being immortal, he could not die, so when he was shot
with a poisoned arrow from an old student, Heracles,
he roamed the Earth in agony. Ultimately, he could
Heal others but not himself, until he met Prometheus,
who he gifted his immortality, thereby mortally dying.
Zeus took favor upon him, granted him 2nd immortality.
He roams the night sky as the constellation Sagittarius.

My X-Husband and Father to my Son, is a Sagittarius.
We connected thru Art, Travel, Family and Spirituality.
After an enriching 8 years together, we divorced but
we remain good friends, co-parents and grand- parents.
Post-Divorce, as many X-Couples, we both wandered
the Planet as gifted, Wounded Healers for many years,
" Adept at helping others, unable to heal own Hearts".

Listening to his inner-Muse, he moved to Montana and
finding solace there, has created a new Life for himself.
Featured in an Art Magazine, his Watercolors of the rural
countryside, grace the walls of many local Art Galleries.
Enduring the Death of a Relationship, we individually
and collectively "transformed our pain" through our Art.

It is said that Souls Cross Over in threes, which seemed
to be the case with my Father and two very close Uncles.
This was the culminating crash, of a huge Tsunami Wave
of Loss, involving the passing of my First Love, his best
friend's Mother & Father (who helped raise him), a close
Spirit Sister's Mother who shared my birthday, Chandra
Levy (daughter of a Spirit Sister), 2 Cousins, 2 of my
Favorite Mentors, Laci /Conner Peterson, (daughter
/grandson of my Girlfriend from High School), Kate
Hepburn ( a heroine), Christopher/ Dana Reeve, and
my beloved, Blue Eyed, Canine Companion, Winter.

Accepting the Fate of Ending Cycles, requires Courage.
Faith Lights our Way into the Underworld, where we
Grieve our Losses / Transform our Fear of Mortality.

Spending time alone in Nature, allows the Questing Soul
to Let Go of resistance, renew vital energies in warming
Springs and /or cooling Waters of Mother Earth's Womb.

Surrendering to Sacred Timing /Great Spirit's Divine Will,
we emerge from Hermitage, humbled, Stronger and Wiser
as we prepare for the evolving, magical, Rebirth of Life.
