I am asking myself today how we get past the polarities that proliferate in our world? There are so many disparities, so much turmoil, so many issues and problems. My Gemini nature wants to understand, wants to know how to proceed. I am wondering if there is a way that I can embrace both polarieties inside of myself – love and hate, different extremes of the principle of unity. Hate happens when we feel separate, when we make ‘others’ out of those around us. Love occurs when we feel unity. So can I begin to pour love into the part of me that feels separate? Can I fill the hole of emptiness with so much love that it begins to feel connected? Here is a poem that might give us a clue on how to proceed.
There is a Beautiful Creature
Living in a hole you have dug
So at night
I set fruit and grains
And little pots of milk
Beside your soft earthen mounds
And I often sing.
But still, my dear
You do not come out.
I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside you
We should talk about this problem,
Otherwise, I will never leave you alone.
From I Heard God Laughing
This doesn’t mean that, even when I have healed my ability to hate, I will ignore suffering. No, I will see suffering and I will stand for justice for every evolving soul. Let us move into our hearts and begin to coax the parts of ourselves that are hidden into the Light. May we all do the inner work that will begin to reflect into the mirror of the outer world. Gemini wants to make a difference. We want to be true to our highest nature. May we stand firm for a world where every being has what she/he needs to flourish. Blessings on your day.
