“Discontent is the first step towards progress”. So many folks seem so unhappy lately, this quote sprang to mind. If you're happy with life, one doesn't change. It's only when we're unhappy that we do start to change - look at health care! It took a long time for this country to be discontent enough to change presidents.

Blue Again, Like Morning

Published in PoetryPoems by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Here I came to the very edge
where nothing at all needs saying,
everything is absorbed through weather and the sea,
and the moon swam back,
its rays all silvered,
and time and again the darkness would be broken
by the crash of a wave,
and every day on the balcony of the sea,
wings open, fire is born,
and everything is blue again, like morning.

Sun in Gemini Inward, outward, up, down... feeling like a yo-yo this last month? Or maybe like a slingshot? Boomerang effects rebound as the Sun joins Mercury in Gemini, sign of the Twins. Where do you find yourself fraternizing, and where do you find those identical to you? Both serve a purpose. Now is a great time to start a journal.
