reveal

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There is a proverb from the American culture of the early 21st century that I'd like to run by you, Libra: "Never reveal all you know, confess everything you feel, show how much you care, or give all you have." According to my astrological analysis, this is the worst possible advice you could receive in order to thrive in the coming weeks. In fact, if it were up to me, you'd do just the opposite. I understand if you can't bring yourself to do that, especially if you're an American. Nonetheless, that's what would be good for you. - Rob Brezsny

Thanks Rob. You always manage to speak directly to me, and my housemate, and probably all your 30,000 newsletter subscribers, plus the multitudes who look forward to your weekly column in their favorite paper. Funny how that works.

I'm stalling . . .

So, yesterday I got the call. They offered me the job. I'm going to be baking muffins and warming up the bagels and filling the pumpsters with coffee for our little village. It seems like a noble cause.

It seems like good timing too, because I'll probably start on the day before (or the day after) I run out of money. This is the way Spirit operates in my life. Four+ years after I left my corporate job to seek a more meaningful existence, I'm baking muffins. That said, even though I've been running on fumes financially for a long time now, I'm living well. That's how the Universe operates. We get what we expect, what we envision, what we allow ourselves to receive. I haven't quite figured out how to raise the bar yet, but I'm working on it.
