In his book Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Tom Robbins talks about a gourmet who “gave up everything, traveled thousands of miles and spent his last dime to get to the highest lamasery in the Himalayas to taste the dish he’d longed for his whole life, Tibetan peach pie. When he got there . . . the lamas said they were all out of peach. ‘Okay,’ said the gourmet, ‘make it apple.’” I suspect you’ll be having a comparable experience sometime soon, Aquarius. You may not get the exact treat you wanted, but what you’ll receive in its place is something that’s pretty damn good. I urge you to accept the gift as is!
Grace emerges in the ebb and flow, not just the flow. The waning reveals a different blessing than the waxing. Where are you in the great cycle of your life?
Even if your heart’s not exactly shattered at the moment, it has no doubt been so at some time in the past. I invite you to feel a wave of sadness about your suffering, then move on to this possibility: that having a broken heart is one of the best things that can happen to you.
Why? Because it strengthens your humility, which makes you smarter. It demonstrates to you that you have a tremendous capacity for deep feelings — far more than you’re normally aware of. It breaks down defense mechanisms that have desensitized you to the world’s secret beauty. It may also inspire you to treat other people’s hearts with greater care, making it more likely that you’ll be able to create intelligent intimacy in the future.
Rob Brezney, as usual is hitting my head on the nail. I don;t know how the man does it but it seems that every time I am having a huge struggle in my life he seems to be on the pulse of my pain and deepest quandaries! Thank you Rob!
On the rebound! The Aquarius posts always seem to touch me. i suppose it’s because I’m an aQuarious too.
LOL probably!
