I was really thinking about Swine Flu... media and the mass hysteria it causes. The kids friends have confirmed cases. It looks like that's what the boyfriends have, what Nyasha has. Hmm. It doesn't appear so "hysterical" from here : ) All is well; they're all recovering, slowly but surely. So, worry not about the pigs in the pen... reality looks a lot different from the inside than it does from the screen or newspaper.
The girls are ending a rather sleepy weekend by watching a few episodes of Northern Exposure. It may be the best existential television ever produced. The line in the background was about the turns of events centered around the Aurora Borealis. Everyone is having another's dream. Interesting.
In some ways we are all having each others dreams... we are co-living the manifestations of the very dream we call life. Or maybe not. It's just a theory.
Right now, I'm observing Saturn in my Third House. What the heck does that mean? I'll tell ya. It means I'm finishing up a marriage of twenty two years. It means I'm coming to the end of raising a couple of extraordinary adults, or they me. It means I'm changing the environment I live in, the way I face the days of my life, the very actions of my moments. It's the end of the ends! And so I reflect on the manifestations of my last couple decades.
Was it just an image on a screen? Am I the projector or the actor? Does it look as different from "reality" as the Swine Flu does from the media presentation?
You be the judge. I'll wait for the next flickers from the projection room.

These are not endings silly. They are beginnings. Beginnings to a new relationship that will better match the person you are now. Beginnings to a larger family as your two children move on to make their own. Beginnings of putting your energy out in the world to help the people who are desperately waiting for you to arrive. :) Beginnings all the way. :)
