Lessons of the Trees

The lessons of / for life are all around us if we care to see them. Each species tree has something to teach us as they have all adapted to the environment we all in habit. Living in Florida one finds many palm trees, pine trees, and I had the fortunate child hood of knowing some weeping willows. Palm trees have this tight ball of small roots, long slim trunks, and their leaves bundled on top of the trunk. Palm fronds are esstially leaves with enhanced stems. The Palm tree uses and relies on its not creating a heavy canopy out of branches and leaves coupled with a root system that inter weaves in a manner to create as much friction as possible to with stand storms. Pine trees grow tall with a crown of branches the spread out and typically a long tap root. The pine tree has a "standard" canopy of branches and leaves, however the pine tree has adapted to storms by making its leaves needle like and using a long deep sturdy root to anchor it in the soil.

Personal Wheel of the Year

For my purposes of this writing I will be paying attention to the Aquarius, Sun, Moon, and rising information. Aquarius because that is the fixed sign of Imbolc. The Sun, Moon, and rising because of their major impacts on anyone. Rising Sign is in 07

Soul Level Wounds

Picture From:  http://pluspng.com/png-hole-3920.html A while back I had received a massive soul level wound. It was a one-two punch, an adding to an existing wound structure. That it added to the existing structure is probably what made it as horrible as it was. The wound made doing almost everything a debilitating act of machoism. While I can't speak for everyone who has to deal with this, for me, my soul level wound felt like a gaping hole that caught every breeze that went by. By breeze I mean every emotion. Hug some one; agony. Angry for some reason; amplified. It made the inherited need to be around others an act of desperation and only done when desperately needed. I healed. I definitely do not recommend my method of healing. The biggest healing actually happened because of the motorcycle accident I was in on February 16, 2018. Ironically February 16 was also my wedding anniversary; divorced October 25. Hilariously October 25 is now my brother's wedding anniversa
