(i gotta mourn too)

"When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Let the sun shine, Let the sun shine in
Let the sun shine in"

"the early bird catches the worm"
for this hawk, it is gazing upon saturn sitting plumply in a morning sky,
right next to spica.  it took me some investigating to answer my own question of
"hmm.. is that a planet?" the brilliant, orange heart of scorpius, i could never miss, however.

i climbed out these south facing windows with some trepidation - my body remembering
the excellent fall i took on a new year's day, just over a month ago now.  
i'll miss this - this view of a southern hemisphere sky from this location, on the rooftops above 
the downtown city of san diego.  and, i guess i spent some time mourning its loss, while licking my wounds.  one has to mourn, too - its all a part of this life & movement forward.

plus, a bird without her nest is like a fish without water.  so, this little birdie is a little perplexed with being booted from her warm cocoon high in the sky.  where will she flutter to next?  only time will tell.
as for this little peace of heaven
(which is always here no matter where we each are - just look up and into that glorious sky.  if you need to, you can reflect on how i too might be looking up at that same star, planet or moon.  you can rejoice, then, in our being together right in that very moment on this spinning kaleidoscope called earth) 
she'll bee back.
