Finding the light in the darkness

To say we’ve arrived at a fork in the collective road is an understatement. Regardless of outcomes, that reality isn’t going to change; it’s inevitable now. It’s more than probable we are already on the highway to hell; it’s just a case of who will take us there faster.

All that said, though, do you need to jump on board that train? You don’t have to, you know! Much of it is still about the perspective you choose. Is the glass half full? Is it half empty? Is the glass refillable? How much do you let the political theatre feed on vyour energy and distract you from what is most important – your life and those in it and your spiritual growth and sustenance? 

Even the darkest clouds on the horizon still contain a silver lining. Whoever looks at the good in everything, reveals that in everything there is good.

Astrology operates on the ethos of “as above, so below.” This week, the above component reveals the very worst of “astrology bad” and the very best of “astrology good.” As for the as below component, that is the free will of each of us as to whether we choose to see the bad or we choose to see the good.

Life in a shell: eastern box turtle

June 25, 2025
As a budding naturalist growing up in the concrete-heavy environs of Boston, I would regularly thumb through my family’s collection of nature books and daydream about the creatures within. One species I was particularly drawn to was the eastern box turtle. These charismatic terrestrial turtles have high-domed shells festooned with colorful yellow or orange markings…
