I occasionally indulge myself in a little pollyanna-ism, but it’s becoming clear as we experience this astrological pivot that this is a luxury I can no longer afford to maintain. A fantastic read/listen as always. Thank you!
A modern nod to Kipling immersed in a feast of Jay’s Aquarian insight! Yes, please. 😂 It would be foolish not to state that my defensiveness was piqued when my first response was to experience your piece as ominous or foreboding. As your biological peer, I wanted to share that I have always had a deep sense of knowingness that a time would come when I would begin to discover that I had been unknowingly prepared for the unforeseeable; that a series of seemingly accidental events, trials, tribulations and occasional inner triumphs experienced over the course of almost half a century would somehow converge into innovative service and purposefulness. I still have no idea what this might be, and I find myself wondering how solitude might break after years of turning inward and away from the rotten fruits of my trauma to heal, but as the wheel continues to turn, I only know I’m coming closer to understanding the true value of radical surrender, being of service, and embodying peace.
I love what you wrote so much - thank you! Oh hun, I almost didn't talk about this because I didn't want to seem ominous and foreboding, so I appreciate you for sharing that because you're bang on the money. My inner Knight of Wands likes to charge ahead with reckless abandon and hope, which is why it's always significant to me when I feel a pause. And yes, Kipling's 'If' is one of my favourites. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much. I understand, I think my own Pollyanna is maturing as well.
