Full Moon Gemini

I remember the Gypsy girl reading our cards and telling us that "Acceptance and Surrender" were the only things that she saw.
We both looked at each other, "Acceptance and Surrender?" We said in unison. "What does that mean?"
Then at a Sweat Lodge hosted by Brother White Bear, I asked for both, "Acceptance and Surrender". He was horrified, as he told me "Oh, no Sister, you do not know what you ask for. Nor how it will come. It is not an easy road. I know, I have done this."
Well, we had to ask, didn't we, and as always, "The Spirit does deliver."
The journey began that day. It has not been an easy one, sometimes, it has been excruciatingly painful. A real life roller coaster ride on all levels. Trying to hold on, always is, especially, when there is no real way to avoid change. I got exactly what I asked for.
I saw mirrored images the other day, left, right, front, back, the left ruled by the feminine, nurturing self, the right side, ruled by the masculine, aggressive self. Inside, outside. I had to think about all of the twists and turns, it was like a puzzle to me. Astrologically, and Metaphorically, of course. It is how I see things.

Air: ruler of Gemini,Libra, Aquarius. The thought. What you think you become. The breath.

Fire: ruler of Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. The act of creation. The Activator.

Water: The Intuitive feeling of Nature. What you feel, you.

Earth: The Physical Builder. Manifestation.

In combinations: A+W=Detached Feeling. A+E=Detached Builder. A+F=Detached Creator. And so forth. 

What do you think about? How do you think about it? Why are you building? What are you building?

What steps are left out? Planning, Building, creative, feeling, visionary?

What is the plan? Too much of a good thing is destructive. 

Example: Water and Earth create together with Air and Fire, making up the whole of the world in harmony, and beauty.

When it is all working out, the Sun shines and warms the Earth, and the Waters, the Air blows giving the breath of life, and cooling energies where needed, the Water flows lending its moisture, hydration, and promoting growth, bringing the cleansing rain.

When there is too much of any one of  these elements, there is chaos, which entails extreme conditions, bringing mandatory changes that must happen to either bring back and restore the balance, or eliminate the situation that is causing the trauma to the natural system.

Sometimes it is the inevitability of being the silent observer that is the only thing we are supposed to be experiencing.
The quiet listener. The witness to some obscure need to vent.
These require no input, no answer, no understanding shoulder to cry on. These simply need to be seen, heard, felt, acknowledged, by proximity alone.
Much like a confessional, without the need of being officially blessed, or the requirement of saying "Hail Mary's"  sets the person free, to simply be.
Cleansed of all turmoil, at last there is peace in the Soul, validation in the Spirit, a quieting of the Mind, relaxation of the physical Body. The vision clear, at last free flowing.
 Something so seemingly simple, shared, is forgiveness, in ones own mind, for the unbiased clarity, or the realization of "I am not alone" there is someone out there who "knows" me.
The importance of this connection is priceless.
"You are not alone. We are all One. What you have shared, I have heard. I accept you as you are. We are "ALL" connected. Believe It!
