Dancing Under the Crescent Moon

General Weekly Love Horoscope Influences
Feelings grow tender this weekend as loving Venus enters emotional Cancer on Friday. It's hard not to take things personally and, perhaps, be a bit less trusting than usual. It's tempting to dig into old wounds, but that's only helpful if you are committed to healing and finally letting go of the past.

Eeeeewww! Not digging into anything, thank you!

Is less trusting possible? I guess. So I have issues. Who doesn't? Please, don't take it personally. I'm still feeling so peaceful since attending the Pow Wow. It's always such a positive experience. Christine has been to the Pow Wow since she was a baby. It was so beautiful to see her there with her own little girl. So many familiar faces danced by in the circle around the bonfire. I felt all warm and fuzzy.

Dancing Under the Crescent Moon

Soft clouds envelop the moon, releasing

the pale crescent as the wind gives chase,

dappling moonlight on the sacred circle.

We come to dance around the fire once

again, meeting old friends and new

souls, joined in a joyful celebration of life.

Renewed hopes and cherished dreams still

bind us as one under the summer constellations.

The hunter and the archer make way for

the ladies of summer as they rock in the darkness.

Drums and singing fill the night air as

we weave around the golden fire, snaking

our way to eternity and yet another summer.

The spirits smile and join the dance.

Spontaneous free form :)

Next Week
For the Week of Jul 20th, 2009 -- You love your freedom more than most, but could find yourself trying to manage everyone else this weekend instead of having a good time. Yes, you're a great friend or partner for maintaining sanity and protecting those you love. But if you're looking to play without worries, it's wise to avoid crowds or groups and seek out a quiet place with one easygoing individual.


Hmm. The Pow Wow next weekend should be interesting if that's the case. Who knows what the dynamic will be? Still, this is advice I will seriously consider. I will behave :) It's so worth it!


General Weekly Love Horoscope Influences
The week gets off to a somber and slippery start, which is not the ideal foundation for relationship bliss. The weekend, unfortunately, is hardly much better. While new adventures are possible, try to stay calm when circumstances change unexpectedly. Normalcy will return...eventually.





Hah! Normalcy. What's that anyway? I work with radioactive material, stress hearts both at work and home, and write about vampires. That is my normal. I'm quite comfortable with it.

Each of us has their own definition of normalcy, I'm sure. The important thing is that it's the right fit for you. If others choose to judge you that is their prerogative, as the song goes. It's such a waste of time and energy, though. Each day is so precious. The way you spend your time is sometimes defined by the reality of earning a living, caring for others or circumstances 'out of your control.' That control thing can be a sticky wicket. I've found control to be an illusion for the most part. We have far more control over our lives than most of us choose to admit. If we did admit that fact we would then need to take responsibility for controlling our life, our destiny.



In my second book I deal with this in a roundabout way. The characters, mortal and not mortal, have an opportunity to go back in time and possibly change the outcome of a pivotal event in their life. Would you or wouldn't you change something in your past? I drag string theory and brane theory into play, so I give my characters some leeway. Would you choose to keep your life on track or would you choose another path at an earlier crossroad? I think about these things from time to time.



At this point in my life, knowing what I know and having done what I've done, I would not change a thing in my past. The good, the bad and the ugly have combined to make my life what it is now. I'm liking where I am. Right now I'm feeling restless, kind of unsettled. Part of my journey is complete. A new road is most appealing. This is not to say what I have isn't enough. I am blessed beyond measure with my family and friends. You just never stop growing in different ways. The spirit reaches out for the source of it's energy. It is a wonderful feeling to know there is not enough time for everything you could do in one lifetime. That gives impetus to learn and experience as much as possible while you're able. My characters get to time travel or live for hundreds or thousands of years. I get a kick out of that. Sometimes, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Me, I'll keep on keepin' on as long as I can. I heard a famous romance novelist used to lie on her chaise and dictate her very successful novels while sipping tea and eating bon bons. Nah! Not really my style, but when the time comes to retire my walking boots I may consider it. Maybe sipping Long Island Iced Tea though.

Another Reason Why I Don't Keep A Gun In The House

Another Reason Why I Don't Keep A Gun In The House

The neighbor's dog will not stop barking

He is barking the same high, rhythmic bark

that he barks every time they leave the house.

They must switch him on on their way out.

The neighbor's dog will not stop barking.

I close all the windows in the house

and put on a Beethoven symphony full blast

but I can still hear him muffled under the music,

barking, barking, barking.

and now I can see him sitting in the orchestra,

his head raised confidently as if Beethoven

had included a part for a barking dog.

When the record finally ends he is still barking,

sitting there in the oboe section barking,

his eyes fixed on the conductor who is

entreating him with his baton

while the other musicians listen in respectful

silence to the famous barking dog solo,

that endless coda that first established

Beethoven as an innovative genius.
