“According to the Talmud, every blade of grass has its own angel bending over it, whispering, “Grow, grow.” Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor
The month of May has been shitastic – shitty in a fantastical way. I have personally been struggling with health mattes, money matters, and relationship matters, and everyone else seems to be struggling much the same. The worst part (because yes, it could be worse) is that the celestial bodies above are insisting that we sit through this storm a little longer, and do nothing. There is just too much going on, frankly, and the ego demands for willful assertion will only be challenged in the coming weeks. You may have noticed too, that while we wait for external progress, there has been an internalizing of anxiety. Yep, that is also an integral part of the Universe’s plan – a whole lot of self-digging and questioning, which, let’s face it, is not everyone’s favorite pastime.

With this said, I can’t help but to look forward to the promise of better days on the horizon. By July, the pace of life will pick up substantially. So much so, that this present moment will go down as a momentary blip. But July ain’t here yet, and there remains much to consider throughout June. Might as well get comfortable with the deliberation. There are riches to be explored in the extended pause – a number of inconvenient truths that will take us deeper to the core of our being. If you can stay put for now, you might just uncover a subtle greatness. It won’t be grand; this kind of greatness is not loud or boisterous, nor does it come with a shiny prize. It is simply and purely the greatness of you as you are that will bring a quiet relief to the mayhem, and to discover it, we must dismantle the illusions we’ve created of ourselves that blind us from the reality of what makes us authentic.
Fleeting moments of being one with oneself are possible. But we will have to rumble with, and find ways to integrate, all of the elements of who we really are that define our unique essence. Gentleness will be required, and with a Mutable Grand Cross currently forming above in the signs of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Gemini, how it all ends will be anyone’s guess – there is much to discern. But that does not matter. Greatness isn’t something we achieve when the journey is complete, all parts synthesized. Greatness is our approach to the journey, the intentional steps we choose to take along the way. For once, consider that you have nothing to prove to others - no masks to wear or roles to play. All you have is this one life to live, and the greatness to be that which is simply and purely you.
