I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been through the ringer over the last few weeks. This last one was the most INTENSE.... Almost unbearable. I am still having a LOT of very vivid INTENSE dreams...but they have been very cathartic in a way. I have closed the door on so many things that have been hanging over me for such a long time. It is liberating in a way, even though I am completely mentally wrung out.... Sometimes we have to go through the deep muddy swamp of our minds to find what we need to clean out....Yeah it is slow going and exhausting, but somehow we find the will to persevere. We can come back to who we truly are, with the knowledge and strength to do it with dignity and grace instead of struggling all the time. Two more days and Mercury goes direct...the energy should lighten up and all this will just pass by with a sigh of relief.... Just remember what you have learned... otherwise, you will have to do it all again later. Be grateful. Grateful that you have come to a place of closure, and grateful this INTENSITY is about to give way to some blessed relief. Love, Mishka.

Be the Butterfly.....

I have learned a valuable lesson. In some ways on my path to enlightenment, I was trying to fight my true nature. Yes, I am too nice, yes my heart is too soft, I forgive too easily, people walk all over me. It is true. But the basis for this is KINDNESS. This was a revelation of sorts for me. I know I am kind, but those other behaviors also come from that place. I have come to the conclusion, that this is probably never going to change ...and that is okay. Take the butterfly. Part of the caterpillar is still part of her. In fact it was a necessary and integral part of what the butterfly would ultimately become, and it is still part of her. It always will be ...so it is with us. Don't beat yourself up for these 'flaws'. They are gifts...given to us for a reason. Without them we will never truly BECOME.... I am finally getting there...it has been a long road. But it is OKAY to keep part of the caterpillar...In fact it is necessary. The potential of the butterfly was always there....it just needed to be READY. Keep the faith until you are ready....you will know when it happens. And it WILL happen Love, Mishka....
