The gift, the giver and the received

(Contribution from a coworker)

October 15-20 +/-3˚ Orb

Over the last few days we have geocentrically experienced the two stars Spica and Arcturus align with the Sun. Measured along the ecliptic both stars are currently located at 24˚ Libra 07’ & 30’ respectively, and they possibly work as a unit.

Arcturus, 

companion of the north,

 alpha star in Boötes, 

the hunter, shepherd, farmer, 

your ancient, orange light 

provides wisdom in times of change, 

above you is the most massive void in space.

 

Spica

alpha star of brilliant Virgo, 

wheat sheaf in her left hand. 

as if thought between Boötes and Virgo 

manifested on the ecliptic. 

in her gift, we connect, as seeds 

to the Bears of the north 

and the Dragon at the pole.

 

Inverse value of stuff and stars    

1

all stuff comes with strings 

or even chains

some are useful 

to keep us close to home and fire 

others shackle 

the true bonds of family 

it depends on how much we fight   

2

in the library of the soul

there are many volumes

as a multitude of dove wings

fill a peaceful blue sky

they frame the sun 

in white feathers 

of liberation

3

reflected ocean   deep and serene   

a sponge doesn’t create or contain water

it merely has room for entrance   

the transpiration of your breath

the thunder of your heart

we open the place you left unformed

petals in the crown of your gems 

4

the realm of thought and emotion   

meet in the body of form

the hollow reed 

of gods instruments

as blades of grass in fields of pneuma                

made of captured sunlight

responding to the creative winds of heaven    

5

antahkarana 

come to us

that we may know union

we work as those in twilight  

working until dawn

as the bow of bright promise

teaches us the constituents parts of stars

6

teach us of your ancient concourse 

with the frail instrument of our forms

in the hand we have always held

hold us as a flame

in the palm of eternity

that we may contribute

to the light of your being

7

we look across the blue crescent 

to see your eyes filling the night sky 

by them we measure our days

our thoughts as notes in your chorus

waveforms in constellation

as ripples in the history of sand

we listen in silence
