Cosmic Catalogue: Something worth fighting for

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.

Short poles

It never felt like this before. My chest was in the right position and wasn’t getting bounced backward every few turns. My right shoulder wasn’t getting jammed into itself with every pole plant, forcing my torso up and my entire body to stretch out. That beautiful extension that forces me to then retract everything while…

A cut above

Only three people have ever cut my hair: There was the older gentleman that my mother brought me to when I was young. Then there was the son of my dad’s barber, who cut my hair for decades. And finally, there’s the guy I’ve been going to for the last several years. I especially liked…
