Sea Oats

The recesses of my mind
linger on the sounds of wind in the trees
I close my eyes.
I am warm on my blanket in the sand

Reminding me of days in Fall at the beach
Sand dunes drifting and piling up like snow avoiding the sea oats that protect them

The coolness of the air and the salty sea
Fresh scents that come and go

whiffs of memories on the boardwalk
popcorn, candy apples, freshly baked pretzels, hot dogs and fries

Fading as the wild wind carries it

Like a teenagers first kiss

Lingering memories brought back to life

The Band plays on “under the boardwalk”

As The Moments Pass

Clutter of My World

If you hold on to the clutter of your past Their may never be room or space for anything new Overflowing closets Storage parcels paid on for a decade The past and all it’s hurts and insecurities Make for an elusive future Wind, rain, fire and circumstance destroy possessions Your mind refuses to let be […]

Phoenix

Scorpio loves to get Involved, going down deeper, coming up dirtier, and laying bare anything that lies hidden there.

The Phoenix is the ultimate goal as a Scorpio.

The mythical Phoenix is destroyed and rises above its own ashes (another Pluto trait).

Life is hard.

Scorpio knows how hard life can be. But when Scorpio reaches the symbol of the Phoenix, he or she has achieved the most mature, stable and comfortable life.

Knowing he or she can survive anything, Scorpio at this point, doesn't bog itself down with petty arguments and plots of revenge.

The Phoenix has risen above all that nonsense, adopting a “live and let live” attitude, and once again, trusting the universal plan to handle affairs of revenge and violence.

The Phoenix is the most peaceful of the Scorpion symbols.

The older Scorpio has usually achieved this based on all of life’s lessons.

More About Me

I am a complete package and live in the present. I do not have lots of ribbons and bows. I come with a past,a unforeseen future. I am loveable, obsessive compulsive and I am stubborn.

Scorpio-Pluto Path to Transformation

The Phoenix type of Scorpio experiences many “little deaths” in its lifetime, because it’s here to transform itself, through an alchemical trial by fire, into a finer, more precious personal essence. The energy carried by this type can metamorphosize everyone it touches. These are some of the most powerful people on the planet, particularly emotionally.

There are several intrinsic challenges in the Scorpio-Pluto path to transformation. One is the tendency toward compulsive behavior, which can manifest as a compulsive fascination with death and experiences considered taboo. This can be an expression of an unconscious, or even conscious,death wish. Another is that one is tempted to flirt with negative energies and misses the point that these experiences are to liberate him or her from karma, not to create more karma. One can also become addicted to the symbols or objects. The idea is to integrate their power into oneself to overcome limitation, not to create one more limitation. The goal is not to become dependent upon them for power or to use them as a substitute for personal identity, but to become energetically more powerful within oneself.

Growing into Wisdom

Key Lessons I Learned:

We seldom remember what WE choose to forget.

They may kick you when you are down, and they most certainly will kick you when you are up. It’s all in how you stand tall, proud and unashamed; once your feet are steady on the ground.

There is no time in this life for regrets. Everything that you experienced made you the unique person you are this moment. It is being “REAL” that eventually opens our heart.

I love life. If you always see the IF in it, there are endless possibilities.

Encouragement from the Phoenix:

Everyone needs to be encouraged…Change is hard.

But sometimes it is the only thing that saves you. You must want the change, so badly.

Addiction is evil. It takes hold and says, “I won’t let you go.”

You have to be smarter than your addiction and say, “You may not let me go, but I am outta here.”

Same with bad relationships.

We stay because they are comfy, like an old pair of slippers. Sometimes, cleaning out that closet is the best thing you can ever do. After all, it makes room for new and better things…

YOUR NEW LIFE.
