On aching, yearning, longing, loving so deeply, and then finally leaping…
December 28th 2008
Someone I love very much told me that they’d heard something bad about Rob Brezsney recently, but they knew how much I liked his horoscopes and so they didn’t actually tell me what they’d heard. It’s fine with me. I’ve heard a lot of things about a lot of people, including myself, and personally I think hearsay is for the birds (and mouth breathers.)
In his year end horoscope for Cancer, born June 21st through July 22nd, Brezsney offers the following:
“I invite you to fantasize in depth about the fertile alliances that might be possible for you to cultivate in the coming months. These lively, inspiring bonds could be with people you haven’t met yet. They could be with acquaintances you barely know but would like to know better.
And they could be with friends, collaborators, and loved ones you’re already intimate with but want to become even closer to.
The coming year has the potential to bring revolutionary advances in the quality and intensity of your relationships, so it will be smart for you to work hard on making that happen.”
I’m going to take the man up on his invitation.
To begin I have started putting pen to paper again, yes an actual journal. This is partly because I want to live in the real world, and because if I keep giving my writing away on the inter-web for free there is substantially less of a chance I will ever be published. Speaking of publishing, if you are an editor, or a publisher and you arrived here looking for my work, it’s here if you’re looking for fiction, and here if you’re looking for non fiction and essays.
You can find news of my music at Treehouse Muzique, information on my community supported recording project here and my weekly radio show at Sunday Soul, and my breathtaking photography is always here too, so it’s not like I am going away from the inter-web completely or anything. I’ve just quit smoking, dedicated myself to yoga, and am opening my heart and my mind to the real world I have spent so much time setting myself apart from over the last couple of decades.
Please don’t be sad. I will miss you too, but I’ll be back at the end of the year and we can talk about my new collaborations, intimate relationships, and all my wonderful new friends. It will be a glorious day indeed.
Until then…
Love,
Sunshine

Beautiful ~ the horoscope and the intention you’ve set. I look forward to your visit to my house where I can take to you to some amazing yoga classes and hopefully, later in the year, teach you a class myself.
Much love, joy and abundance for you in 2009 my dear brother.
