Another season begins as another one ends. By all intents and purposes, you might imagine that the line between them is clearcut. In some ways they are, while in other ways they are not. That is a very big part of what October’s astrology has been about – the introduction of the new and the phasing out of the old. While they may be separate plotlines, they all form the story of the here and now. The events of the past two years have resulted in this week as the events of two weeks ago will reverberate well into the next two years. This week highlights the tension between fact and fiction, what is worth fighting over and what is not. Opportunities for truth and justice can still be had, though they may not come as easily now. You can dig your heels in and argue your point, but who’s even listening? Words can be weapons, to be sure. Words can also uplift, inspire and heal. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy? I know what I’d prefer, do you? Be the reason that somebody else’s boat catches the tide this week.

Green Up Day is May 3

When I went to Kent Pond the other week to launch for the first time, I was all stoked to enjoy the beauty of nature right from the boat launch. But the joke was on me because right behind the treasured bench was a bag of unattended—you guessed it—dog poop. How nice of someone to…
A puzzling situation
April 23, 2025
Over the years, I’ve told my son at least a thousand times, “It’s a puzzle, figure it out.” Borne of necessity, I used the phrase to promote action in my child, given that his first response to difficulty, traditionally, was to either give up or make a half-hearted attempt. Because of his laissez-faire attitude, my…
