Jupiter's Light

It's my father's birthday today, James Joseph John Walsh, a very typical Irish man, he loved life, beautiful women, his family, good drink, a reasonable wager on a decent bet, the Virgin Mary, and the ocean.

He  loved to love and loved to love me.  I lost him way too young to alcoholism and will forever miss the missed years - but I am so very grateful he was exactly who he was.  He was also my brother in life's journey, my teacher through his sorrows and joys, and my daddy.  Compassion is of a free mind - he was a compassionate man and helped to shape me to be a compassionate woman.

Alcoholism - Drinking sorrow - without Faith in something beyond the physical realm there is no ground to dry some of our tears.

Addictions are always emotional conversations waiting to be heard, accepted, and released.

Blessed Be to All the Daddys

The only constant is Change.  I have been changing - Pluto conjuncting my Sun, then Saturn, now Venus - Saturn conjuncting Pluto - Death must happen before Rebirth - Pluto demands a a journey to the underworld - where death and other things will be met - like addictions or denial - or self-doubt.  I am human - I know all too well at times - these emotions.  Awakening is an act of Re-Member-Ing - Who I Am - Where I come from - What my source is.  Awakening is an act of changing the basic structure of how thoughts are processed - which route do they travel through - one of Rooting ones-elf in Beauty - Faith - Joy - or one of wounding - attachments to betrayal and disappointments - conditioning and fear.  Change is the only thing that is constant - yet one thing remains the same while all others change - the truth that we are always living in the Presence of God/Love:  Grace.

The most wonderful relationships have come into my life when I took the time to be still and look within.  Love has always been there - waiting for me.  Waiting for me to open my heart and attention to it's presence.  My beloved has always been there - loving me.  When I am quiet, unafraid, I let the abundace of love - always present in my life - touch my heart, soul, and mind and heal all those lonely, hurt places.  You are loved, today and always.  What you look for outside must first be felt inside.  Be well and let the love that is yours touch your life today.

"Today I open myself to the abundant prescene of love, this love quiets my minds, soothes my soul, and inspires my body to natural health, I am celebrating loving and being loved today."

Always remember to trust in the inherent goodness in life.  Life can have its set of challenges, but the more we learn to let go and let life open up for us - it will.  Be still and trust in the beauty of yourself - it is what is most natural, ask for what you need and deserve, without fear, it is your birthright.
