#14. Visionary Artisans / Temperance

Each Night, my Mother, a Scorpio, 
dutifully makes a long list of chores. 
The next day, she enjoys crossing off 
each one as she completes the task.

Without her planned list, she wanders 
aimlessly in circles, much like a pup 
chasing it's tail out of sheer boredom. 

Born Pisces / Aries, I rarely make lists 
but enjoy being intuitive, spontaneous. 
Yet, I cannot judge Mother for her love 
of ordered perfection or her work ethic.

There are many creative, ways to reach 
the same desired conclusion/destination.
My own conditioned Work Ethic, assists 
me in focusing, to write this daily Blog!

What I find missing from this regimen, 
is time for Spontaneous Laughter, Joy, 
Light-Hearted Play, Connection and 
Creative Exploration with others. 

Nurturing one's Spiritual Essence or 
Soul (outside church) was not a part
of my Mom's Fear-Based generation's
conditioned, ritual thought processes. 

Thank God/ess for my beloved Son, 
my Grandchildren and my Dog, who  
interrupt my seriousness with joyous 
smiles, spontaneous playful being. 

I am in Gratitude for all the Twittering 
Souls who enhance the Zen of my Life. 
Thank you for uplifting consciousness 
with your colorful ideas and images. 

Divine Creator is a-mused and smiling, 
breathing deeply in and out with us all. 

When I lay in bed at Night, a window 
opens in my Mind, allowing a gentle, 
cool breeze to cleanse my thoughts.
I lovingly bless and release each one. 

Focusing my attention on an emotion
a feeling, or quality of being, sets the 
tone for all my future manifestations. 

Visualizing clearly, in my Mind's Eye, 
work accomplished, conflicts resolved, 
I imagine myself feeling peaceful and 
present with what shows up in my Life. 

Sensing a blockage in my energy body, 
I breathe into it, to sense the texture of 
its origins, to intuit what is needed to 
either move through it, with assertive 
confidence or remain still, be receptive. 

Becoming a healing force for the planet, 
requires us to relate to a greater World. 
Taking responsibility for transforming 
our fear in creative ways is essential.

The Archetype of Temperance, relates 
to the astrological sign of Sagittarius. 

Embodying temperance, we learn to 
move, flow, blend and synthesize.
Exercising both right and left brains,
we harmonize polarized perspectives. 

The active Masculine and receptive  
Feminine energies exist within us all. 
Connecting and dialoging with them, 
we shift conflict, into inner-Peace.

As Visionary Artisans, we explore to
find new ways to be expressive of both
our Particle and Wave aspects of being. 
Transcending Time, we soon learn to 
shift awareness easily between many 
States of Being with keen awareness.

Empowered with Divine Guidance, 
we invite in the flow of Divine Will.
Remaining strong yet flexible, we 
remain grounded, rooted in Truth,
yet surrender to the Flow of Life.

We creatively express the changing 
tides of Collective Consciousness 
and of our Planetary Mother Gaia.

To thy own self be true. And so it is.
