Greetings and good evening wherever you may be,<\/p>\n

I’ve lost track of the intense weeks of news — I count from the leadup to the Democratic National Convention, around when I started taking apart the DNC’s chart with that Moon at 28+ Gemini<\/strong><\/a>. (Or maybe the Beijing games, before we knew the scene would be cool.) It’s been another week to write about (and I’m really grateful I did), it’s Friday night and the motorcycles are not roaring down my street. Lately there seems to be a lull when the New York Stock Exchange is closed for business — and I’m feeling pretty good…secluded in my studio with only the blue lights on, listening to Gang of Four, one of my favorite bands of rock artists. Actually, it’s an ironic moment: my iTunes is playing the song “Capital (It Fails us Now)<\/strong><\/a>.”<\/p>\n

I feel in my heart we’re hanging in there. We have a lot to be scared about, and the world as we know it is a fragile place tonight; one that’s being pushed toward the edge of its stress, unnecessarily (unless of course we’re not going to grow any other way). We’re not at that point yet and if we stretch our capacity to move energy, we won’t have to get there. We also need to do this thing called process shadow material. Do you know what I mean when I say that? I wonder if this concept needs a really thorough discussion.<\/p>\n

I say this knowing that there are some very, very angry people scattered around the world tonight, whether it’s because a black man is getting full respect as a presidential candidate, because a loved one’s health care will suffer due to a failed investment, or because a personal fortune or job was lost. Or maybe you just feel lonely and you know the way our society is structured has something to do with that. People have been getting angry at capitalism for years, but usually only when it fails them. Plenty didn’t trust it in the first place, but you know we have a kind of Thought Police mentality in this country when it comes to questioning our peculiar institution.<\/p>\n

It would be brilliant if we allow ourselves to get closer as a result of this. I hope we have it in us, collectively — that we know we can do pretty much anything we decide to do. I get glimpses of it in the way my readers are writing to me lately, as if they know me. I feel it in the way I relate to the people in my neighborhood in Kingston, NY (a rural city in the hills of New York State) are relating to one another, a little like there is a dome over our few city blocks where it doesn’t rain quite as hard.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the family theme of my writing and my personal relationship developments this week, that feels really good.<\/p>\n

On this Pisces Moon,<\/p>\n

PS, I see a number of interesting posts in the queue that are scheduled to post this weekend. i.e., please stay tuned to Radio Coven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
