lyrics
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe

I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word

Every time I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

Every time I hear a new born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why, I believe

I've been dealing with a sprained right arm and shoulder/blade right-side now!! omigosh--
~
A week ago while out grocery shopping, a super-severe storm hit the area with very dangerous lightning and a downpour of close to 5" of rain.

It had looked to 'us' as though the storm was to pass by the area, so we went ahead to go do our grocery shopping ritual.

But the storm took a turn TOWARDS us.

While we were in the store, the rains pounded HARD on the roof of that building. People pushing baskets in the aisles looked at each other with surprise!

We waited in the store for a while.. but it wasn't stopping, and wouldn't (according to forecasts) for a few more hours.

The lightning was scary-sudden and intensive, lubricated by sheets of unrelenting pounding rains.

An Iraqi woman had also come to the store. She sat next to me on a bench. I made friendly small-talk with her, finding out where she was from, etc. Also glad to meet other people, especially since she was wearing her cultural full-garb.

Her neighbor had dropped her off, and she intended on walking home afterwards.
-- I said, No way!!!, and asked Rm if we could offer her a ride home.

So Rm ran out, getting soaked in the process. He brought the car up close to the entrance, where I then ran and pushed the basket through the rain to the curb, hoisting multiple bag-handles and sling-wielding these into the open trunk as quickly as I can to avoid too many puddles winding up inside the bags and trunk!! LOL.

I was grasping and grabbing at handles on some VERY extra-heavy parcels.. not realizing that my-body-now, is not in the same shape that my-body-when I was younger, was. Surprised myself, with all that adrenaline running through, that I could quite-easily lift and fling heavy parcels repetitively, quickly, efficiently, without a single thought nor problem given to that.

We dropped off our guest. She would have had a FAR walk!! We made it through rain-swollen streets -- eek!!
.. Made rm strip-off his clothes to hang on bathroom shower rod on hangers to dry-- and commenced drying off wet food items leaving any boxes out on the counters to dry before putting those up {to avoid mildew}.

Our neighborhood retention ponds had overflowed!! LOL. What excitement for an evening.

I woke up that next morning to a painful 'pull' in that right shoulder, down my arm, and stiff muscles on that side to my back. It started healing... until I made the same mistake on a single much-lighter parcel yesterday. .. ohhh noooo!! I FORGOT. *palm to head*

The sprain was repeated, and am NOW paying the more-severe consequences of that today. ~yikes

No big-muscle type cleaning, moving around too much, and sorting-projects for me today! *smile* -- even though I'd like to.

I thought back to yesterday's post I referenced above.

See the Beauty... Look for the Beauty.

That Blue Sky is the backdrop Connection that we ALL have in common. Our Atmosphere we breathe in, that our Sun pours its Light through and makes clouds and evaporation and weathers.

I thought about airplane trips I've taken.. How it can be pouring-down rain and miserable when you get on it. The plane takes off, and soon you are 'on the other side'... met with the calmest pale intense blue of the Marble of our Earth. Reflections of the waters, the oceans.

I'd look through the window of the plane to the earth below... Sometimes seeing the clouds making their shadows on fields.
.. Yep, it's raining down there... They are 'in the thick' of the immediate impact of the atmosphere upon the earth.

I'd make a 'note' inside of me, to ALWAYS remember how intense-yes, but temporary adversity is. If you look up and 'just' see clouds,... you can remember and know, that there IS a Blue Sky on the other side of all that!! .. Yes, that's a fact. *breathe*

I walked along. A worship song began to rise up in my Soul.

The Earth is The Lord's and the FULLNESS thereof.
{scripture}

He Made all that!!! Our Earth, the Blue Sky!
.. And Bode's Law, which-math accurately phenomenally predicted the orbits of the planets and asteroids in our solar system!!!

Suddenly-gently, I was inwardly 'reminded' of the "Pink-Tiles Dream" I had had on November 17, 1980 … Intense Incredible Love is what HOLDS all the molecules together in the Universe!!! 'God' is LOVE. He CREATED all this out of Himself... We are stardust. And what we ALL have in common is the Love as glue that holds 'Matter' and Molecules together.

<<{will try to find that Dream written out on earlier pages of this thread, and insert for REF here}>>

* (music) Cells, Planets (Erika Lloyd, arr. Peterson) *

While working on another post for someone else, I had come across a Thomas Merton youtube. It was one of the last messages he gave (in person, on video) before he died. It was a message to monastic priests and nuns in the catholic church, to 'embrace' what eastern religions had to teach about God and pathways to the Divine. He was saying that we all have something to ADD, to teach each other, for enhancing our Spiritual Practices..
- http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Merton,_Thomas

Certainly, on my own, I had already 'found' that to be true, while I was in my 20's-- walking several miles each day to attend daily mass-- and on the way, singing hymns and psalms, and with joy and devotion the Yogananda chant-songs I had known?? … {{*heart*}}

(music) When Thy Son Flows Through Me (Yogananda song-chant, perf by Marissa) [3:06] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI4nYAA0l7g

So there I was.... walking along the road here... arms outstretched... looking at Blue Sky.. gratitude and praise for Eternal God.. accepting the pain in the 'matter' molecules of my body, and Knowing that Love holds in-between my mattered-biological Cells.
.. I walk as an amalgamation-- a gathering of cells in different stages of advance-and-decline. New every morning.
.. I have my frustrations, the gnarls that go on... but that's petty-life. What-is Above all that, vying for attention??

It's about Love--- ALL of it.
The Good the bad and even the gnarly of it.

*ahem* .. Convo with God-- Got Healing, Lord? ***bheart*** *sniff*

With ALL of it... richly, Your Song Flows through me.

OKAY!!!~~~ I went to pull up this song on youtube, and an ad played for Olay products... Women. Women appearing and staying with STRRRENGTHHHH, that we 'do it' together... and that We Are Fearless Together!!!

(*hahaha, bawlin' like a baby here,
with a big smile on my face*)

Have a Great Day.

Was going to go for some treatments to align skull-neck-and-spine gently, as I'd had some body-clues that things were a bit out of alignment. Besides, I thought this could help the headaches/migraines too?

When I wrenched my shoulder/arm/back muscles the other day from flinging heavy bags into the trunk of the car during that awful rainstorm, and since the pain of the sprain/strain is most-bothersome while I try to sleep during the night, I thought it was expedient to call now. (Make sure I didn't break anything??).

He is not taking any new patients.
Doctors are in shortage here in this locale.
Doctors of osteopathy who practice Sacro-Cranial, etc, are even MORE rare.
He advertises as accepting my 'insurance' policy. I in no-way can afford free-lance alternative healers who don't qualify for being able to offer insurance to folks.

posted August 31, 2018 11:28 AM            

What I DID find, after some searching, is an older osteopathic doctor who STILL does manipulation-- including myofascial, sacro-cranial, etc. He accepts my insurance in full. Thing is, his first appointment isn't until October 22nd! `oy.

I'm doing pretty good today. Been paying attention to the 'way' I move so as to not further any strain. I actually "forget" that it's there now. When it acts up (mainly after sunset), I apply heatwraps to the areas to loosen the grip that occurs.

I am healing very fast now-- (usual for me, actually).
I think I will heal from this before that appointment two months from now!
AND, {if still in the area} I'll not cancel, as I've found out that they have confidence they can "definitely" (assistant said) help with my headaches?
So, YAY.

Want to say that I realize over the past few months that I've allowed some birthdays and anniversaries to gone by; dates I usually acknowledge, but, sooo much is happening in this world right now. I had to slow myself down...

Among many others...
It had been Michael Jackson's birthday Aug 29, then, the anniversary of Princess Diana's death yesterday, Aug 31.

I also like to watch political news shows.
Watching what's been happening in that news, changes happening even on a daily basis, has had a petrifying effect.

Feels like everything is so locked-up in our politics!!! .. a wicked gridlock, while other powers manipulate the scenes around it. Things seem to have just gone down a 'sewer' {forget swamp!}, as far as the America I have known and grown up in for YEARS is concerned.

And all this grieves my soul.

I don't talk about it here that much.. but I Care Deeply about what the future of our United States holds! {{ }}.

What has happened to our "shared" Vision?!!!
It has become soo lopsided and 'thin'. *sad*

I watched parts of Aretha Franklin's funeral celebration broadcasted on HLN TV from at her home church in Detroit, Michigan...

A parade of 130 Pink Cadillacs!!!
They said she had had FOUR fashion-wardrobe changes for her body during the visit times, including some fabulous high-heeled shoes, as she lay there in her Gold-encased coffin, her feet neatly crossed at her ankles.

Talk about bittersweet moods-- sadness and Joys were expressed! There was a cascade of stars, celebrities, preachers, and politicians, who came to pay tribute. Some gave a musical performance, others gave the spoken word.

For history purposes--
This is a recording of her entire funeral.

September 1 was (also) the birthday of my Maternal Grandfather.

A Virgo.. he was employed in the Service of being a first-responder by the government (city or county) as a life-long Fire-Fighter.

I recall early times of on-and-off living with him, in his house, during my first 5 years.

His radio-alert siren-alarm tone would suddenly sound! My grandfather would go to the door of that room, and listened very seriously and intently to the message being broadcasted.

Most times, he would immediately grab his gear and leave the house to go on those calls. He lived near the station. They would swoop-by his corner-lot house to pick him up on the way to save someone's house.

Fire engines!! Sirens!! Emergency, emergency!!

My Grandfather also had a 'rare' universal blood-type. He would be called to local hospitals to donate life-saving blood during surgeries. They'd have him lie on a gurney where he's be connected through tubes from his veins directly into another's. Transfusions. This is the way they did it, during surgical operations in those early and mid-to-later 1900s.

He had also been a World War I veteran, having fought in France during that war.

On a side-- in my youth, I had noticed that physically my parents and brothers had long and artistic hands and fingers in our family, while mine looked 'less-elegantly feminine' in detail? Mine appeared the more squarish and the Virgoan-style 'practical' hand {as I've learned to call it now}. -- Was from my MercGem 'square' VirgoMoon? -- {awww, LOL}. In youth, it used to be yet-another way I felt sooo separate from my family-- as though I didn't belong to them?

So. Fast-forward to the last time I was with my Virgo Grandfather. He came to visit me, in my house, when he was in his early 90s.

We were sitting next to each other at the table, and a perception suddenly caught my eye. My hand was right-next to his-- and to my eye, it seemed as though I was looking at a mirror image of my hand? Aha!, saw the shape and structure of my own hands, in his! I genetically took after him with that important part of my body. Finally--*smile*, I felt I had found some kind of proper-place on that genetic family tree.

Yes! *laughing* Sometimes, the smallest details of things can count a lot, inside.

As the 'summer' draws nearer to its close in the Northern Hemisphere, and we now flip the calendar-page to September, I Give Thanks to all among us, for Our Labors {paid, AND unpaid!!! LOL}.

Thank you for Performing Labors of all kinds, and, every day. You hold the integrity of the web of our society, and the working ability to efficiently live-together, by your day-to-day preparation, your dedication and discipline.

Each person, a cog in the wheel.
Each soul, playing their vital and precious part.

With Love... I appreciate you!
I thank each and every soul, for Everything!
Every personality and soul is a shade of color,
each life a thread and interesting meticulous weave.
A Tapestry of People, Everywhere.

Your Life, Your Labors.. do Matter!
You make a difference, even if you think you are unknown and invisible.

You DO count. And your Heart beats, just like mine.

Today, I Lift you UP.

Thanking God for your Valuable Incarnation,
for your Participation in this World.

May you find Treasures in life that are MORE than any material wages-due.

My Virgo Grandfather loved Jimmy Durante.

I found this old clip which begins with Mr. Durante standing next to a Birthday Cake {if you use your imagination to think 'birthday'?!} *thumbsup*

I was around 3 months old when "September" song date is referenced here. At that time, we lived in my Grandfather's household. His was my first home. (My father at that time was still in the process of building his own house alongside his dad. It would be ready soon. At the same time, my dad was looking into attending special-training for the career field he would have for life.)

Laughing here while listening..

Was Durante was the "prototype" of modern rappers???

What do you think?
Sending all much love and affections.
Enjoy this September!

(music) The Song's Gotta Come From The Heart (Jimmy Durante and Frank Sinatra) [4:35] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okJJwJEGxh8

One of the things I really prize in other people is an ability to be True. Loyalty counts for a LOT.

We have to be able to trust that the other has your back, publicly. What happens privately is another thing, to be handled always with Grace and Kindness.

One of best experiences I had in my youth was the "Humanities Camp" that was run experimentally for a week one summer at my school. {end of 1960s/'70}

They had important people (in the tri-state area I lived in) representative of the world of music, drama, and dance, come and do presentations and introduce us to areas of life that we wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise.

I knew I was already strong in music, and drama.. but an area of life I would have loved to be able to do, was dance. Having had 3 younger brothers who ridiculed me, ridiculed when I wanted to 'pretend' to be a dancer or ballerina, was.. well.. just plain-mean!! *bheart, smile*

I was strong playing on the side of defense in sports, team-playing, but not good at 'thinking' WHILE coordinating body-moves in solo individual sports. aka? chewing gum and walking?

I hated being put in the spotlight during gym-class "coordination" exercises where you'd have to 'think' and 'move' at the same time. I remember being publicly called-out and humiliated in front of my class when the angry frustrated gym-teacher {who had KNOWN me to excel at team-sports for 3 years there) said out loud that I "SHOULD" be 'getting this' by now!!

Inside my head, mortified, I was retorting inside myself-- YEH?? I ~KNOW??!!! and your calling me OUT on it at this moment doesn't seem to help with that either???
ah!!! 'twas to be my handicap, I guess.

I did better when my mind didn't have to be involved...
hmmm --
When it 'comes' from the Heart? things Flow. {ref song above}

So, I have the Muse of Dance (and choral singing) 81 Terpsichore SRx in 2+ Aquarius.... next to my 2060 Chiron Rx Aquarius 5+.
Part of my wounding, my handicap??? awwww *bheart*
I dance through the videos I present, through the music I can make through electronic means here.

So. The Humanities Dance module was important because we were paired off with partners or groups, to 'present' a dance at the end of the week, and the results of it brought a profound teaching-moment that 'stuck' with me, in my life.

The kids who were from semi-famous dance-and-drama families in the tri-state area, were able to 'show off' their organized talents, through their skit of doing 'Bacon frying in a pan'. hrmp. pretty clever, of course?. .. Was colorful, and a downer, for the rest of us who watched?? Those kids were pretty tight-knit, and obviously experienced at working together before?

My partner and I decided upon a strange sequence of set 'solo' moves, in tandem, WITH each other. It was like doing 'mirror moves'.

I remember the nervousness I had during the sequence when I had to break visuals with my partner. I had to 'trust' that she was in-step with every move I made, and that I was in-step with hers. There were certain points in the dance when she and I could check and make sure we were still together?..

So, I didn't think it "impressed" any people there. It was brave-enough (for me) to have gotten up in front of everyone, WITH a body, and move it around to be 'watched'. I was just glad, and satisfied, that my partner and I had done it, and that we HAD been in-sync with each other, throughout. Thumbsup! Trust!! rofl

At the end of the module, the Dance teacher said that she thought my partner and I had done the Best of all the dances presented in her course. … I was nonplussed. And!!, I confess, STILL am, today.

And part of what I learned about life in those moments, was actually about Leadership. Moving around the dance floor, the gym. What leading and following, what doing and trusting, is about.

If I can't trust people to BE there, and to "DO" their part??, then 'how' can we Perform?

If I can't trust that you'll BE there, no matter 'what' is transiting?? and changing or not-changing, then CAN you solidly call yourself my friend, my associate, my co-worker and earth-inheritors?

I've had a LOT of Life Review recently.
I've now been realizing how I've been 'caught' in life-scenarios of atrociously Unfair balances.

In my personal history, I have tackled systems and monsters 'all by myself' that other people stood and watched like voyeurs as I stood up to the bullies, alone.

NO one else was brave-enough to Stand By me and 'Be KNOWN' and SHOWN 'as' being FOR me, in my Company{military}, in life.

I never really really really anchored that self-knowledge in me before, like I have in the past few weeks. I let people "off the hook" all the time, making "excuses" for them--

and now that I am at the end-of-life, I feel a mild background of confused about 'how' it was I was able to DO that for them. I had the Right to be Outraged about what was happening... And, I always forgave.

*crickets* …

It made a big difference to me that LL's Aries23Degrees MADE a comment recently, in a thread she has, that her response to my story was that she was angry about what happened to me 'economically' in my life.
- thread link below.

And. I APPRECIATED her stating that.
YES. "SHE" stood up, and was angry 'for' ME.

"WHERE" have my Supporters been, in my LIFE??.. This has been the big question that begs to be asked!!! THIS girl, THIS woman, me, has been fighting Unfair Fights my WHOLE life. Carrying the ball, ALL by myself, when I NEEDED Good Solid Support. *selah*

So I peel another layer off.
I unfreeze another grainy piece of history.
I shift-over more, realizing how powerful I have been able to be, while in the MOST vulnerable moments of life.

Realizing how cowardly some others have been who 'should' have BEEN there for me, and disappeared whenever the going got rough? .. I've had my overshare of fair-weather people in life. Some even shockingly admitted it 'to my face' {was my 'value' that LOW to them??} in the early 2000s. They admitted "using" me.
.. Right now?? {That person is dead. I went to her funeral and cried sooo much for her-- but}, what I want to say is 'How ~dare you!' …. Yes.

I DESERVE Good and HONEST People in my life.
I deserve People who will STAND UP for me, and MAKE SURE I 'lose NOTHING' anymore.
I've been serially being ripped off in my life... People have watched that about me over the decades, and did NOTHING to put the right-people under advisement and accountability.
And I've NOT defended myself in it... as it felt so disempowering that no one stepped forward, while 'they KNEW' it was being done.

And I AM perhaps a greater soul for having always always always chosen to defended my abusers, my betrayers, my defectors in life?

Actually. I still do.
I still do because-actually, that's the Right thing to do 'for them'.
I don't lower my own standards there, with that.
People 'do' what they CAN do. If they are NOT able to STAND Beside me, then I have to trust that they cannot, based on their own weaknesses. They DON'T have 'the same ability'.... that I have had, and that I do, when it comes to Others.
*selah*

Lord!...
Bring Good People Forward 'who understand me' into my life.
Bring fellow warriors, fellow Dancers in the wars and fight of Life.
Let me feel and BE surrounded at my end-of-life, by Faithful Friends who do NOT cower when winds of adversity come-- but Cover me in all things.

God.. I pray for every person connected to my life. Whether they be for or against-- Lord, *these* are yours.

I BLESS Them. I BLESS their Lives, their Doings--
their Goings out, and their Coming in.

Let it be said of me-- that I was a Defender of ALL, no matter what happened!!! You gave this life to me.

You Gave Me my life, Lord! You orchestrated every move, every friend, every foe. And that I GAVE the BEST I could, in every moment.

THANK YOU Today, for EVERY. ONE. OF THESE, Lord.

They are mine-- all of them. The big, and the little.
I care for EACH of them, and ONLY ask Blessings.

'You teach my hands to war' …
Let that War be fought by the Gold Standard of Weighing The Heart, and of Love.
Help me to be a better and more-Capable Lover of Humanity.

I was taking a closer look at Chiron-- both natal and transiting (in my chart, and some other folks I have charts for).

A kind and really gentle good-hearted feeling waved over me!

This and other Mars and multiple spray of Chiron transit aspects makes it more clear to me 'what' and why some issues are more front-and-center for me. And it's good.

Right when I "think" I have things all-figured out?, I suddenly realize over again, that sometimes periodically, you just have to throw your hands up with Loving Surrender-- and Embrace Everything ..

There are so many people in my virtual spheres who are trying really hard to Do Their Best, and handle everything that is thrown with some grace and aplomb?

I'm glad that I 'caught' my own self-- with all the Virgo "perfect imperfectness" within me??

So important to take the Higher Road in spite of everything else we might "think" is happening. It is really the Most-Elegant Road of all.

I remember my first days in college.
There was a professor who said,
look at the person to your left,
and now look to your right?
THEY won't BE here next semester?!!

In the Classroom of The School of Life,
We can meet self and other back at Center-- most-lovingly point at self, and just "Accept"!!!
No failures... We are Graded as a Group.
We all go through The Gate together.

Patience.... always.
Right-timing. Wholeness ...

Sending a lot of Whole-Hearted Love!

I donated extra-long chunks of volunteer-hours (to help them out while they were in a pinch).
Been given a heads-up-invite to be in attendance for another community-fair (expungement event).
.. Was trained for helping folks in the community fill out those forms. I now know the next step of that process entails, entering all the data from the written apps into computer-system pages.

I love visiting with the people I work with there. Very cohesive group right now. Changes are due soon, since we've lost a few entering law school in another part of the state. There will be other new recruits to be trained soon.
