New Moon Eclipse in Pisces

reflection No Comments

This Monday the new moon is in Pisces and it’s a partial solar eclipse. This article from Astrowisdom.com, written by Lisa Dale Miller is worth a read and explains the types of things to focus on at this time, astrologically.

We are celebrating Harmony Day at school this week and I have been putting up quotes from great people on the whiteboard each day about harmony and friendship. It is a good thing to focus on. Oneness, what does it really mean? How do we live each day with the knowledge of our oneness? Students wanted to know what it means, so I have left them with the weekend to reflect on it. I will too.

Waiting Rooms

Waiting Rooms are designed to drive me insane. I have spent a little time in them the last few days. I have completed a whole book sitting in a waiting room. That is the good thing about them. Now I know to bring a book, because the magazine selections are always poor and insulting. The chiropracter’s waiting room is tolerable because the people waiting there are usually not contagious. If you go to a doctor’s waiting room however, it always seems to me insane that all the sick people are hanging out together, waiting for so long. Who knows what you could catch? The name itself, “Waiting” how’s that for setting you up for impatience? I guess it’s better than the catch the flu room, which is how it feels sometimes in there.

By the way the book I finished was the short story collection by Margo Lanagan, “White Time”. It was great. I can’t say my favourites because I loved every one of them.

Be Here Now

As Mason Jennings so beautifully sings it in this song. I want to try to be here now a little more. I remember when I first heard this song, driving with Andy in a National Park, somewhere between here and Wollongong. My brother Tim, with his awesome music taste had given it to me for Christmas. I really appreciate Tim’s music taste and his selections he gives us all for Christmas.

I found my gratitude rock today and used it. It was given to me by some great kids on camp at Tamboritha last year. I had told them about gratitude rock story from ‘The Secret’, so they found this massive rock and wrote “gratitude rock” on it and gave it to me. It always makes me smile and remember.

I had to go to the drs today and whilst I was waiting there was this beautiful baby girl lying in her capsule with her eyes glued on her mother. The mum didn’t seem to notice and I remembered when my kids were babies, I wouldn’t have noticed either. You could almost see the adoration as a tangible thing coming from that baby girl. It was so beautiful to watch. I was feeling a little stressed at the time and I am sure it totally calmed me to watch this.
