A Spec in Time Series

Sometimes I get caught off guard by these monthly blogs. I turn around and it is the 30th.  Keeping on my schedule is sometimes nearly impossible. Yes, I make my schedule so I should not complain, I need to fire my scheduler. YOU’RE FIRED! There now. I guess I told me. I still need to write my monthly blog.

Spring has always been a speedy time for me. Things move fast, I hold on for the ride. This year it seems to be a Porche. I’m a dragon and a green dragon at that you see, and this is my year. The cycle of five has finally gone around. I feel the return to center, the return to what is my natural truth as I walk my path of Tao. I feel stronger now than I have ever felt in my past. From my years of study in Chinese Medicine, I have theoretically known this would come to be. Three and a half months into the year of the dragon and I not only know it in my brain, I know it in my mind, body, spirit, and soul whatever that means. It’s such a catchphrase.

I feel the settling in of age, complete with my lifelong practice of not giving a rat’s ass about it. I don’t care, I never have and refuse to give up on that attitude. Age, in the space-time continuum, does not exist. Age is just a Fig Newton of your imagination, not mine. There is no spoon, unless there is soup.  

I’ve noticed that every twelve years I have had this heat of strength blooming inside me. I see myself reaching up and growing out of the swamp. Striving for the light of the never-ending day. I feel the strength to help take back what is mine and complete the cycles left to dangle twelve years prior. I feel the power to lift others up with me as I rise to fly the blue skies once again. I feel the hope that this time I will come to rest on the tree canopy, just over the dark green lushness of my trusty swamp. I wish to allow myself the option of diving into the blue-green waters, or flying into the blue sky at any point. I never want to stay stuck in one or the other ever again. The ability to float on the ebb and flow of life seems to have a greater advantage.

There is much to do in the coming months in this year of the dragon. I will continue to live my best year possible. I have found some strength after a long slumber. I will help those I can. I will write. I will live. I will love.
