Fool Turtle

I used to be ultra-spiritual before enlightenment. Now i just chop firewood and mountains are mountains again. You know what’s better than being US (ultra-spiritual)? [US: There’s no use in I but there is an US in use!] What’s better is being hip to the whole scene and rebelling against that, getting hip and not rebelling, and so on. But,…[Read more]

Well, that’s good to know, thanks.

As you know, I think, there’s no one book that just makes it all crystal clear. Agreement even among friends is perhaps slightly more so than not, but… The point is, different Taoist traditions have different views, surely, about sex, sexual orientation, and the nature of gender, among other…[Read more]

And yet, no matter how far the space between opposites, they exist along a single pole. Would you like it cut into one, two, three, or “ten thousand” things?

Reminds me of an amusing story where society is restructured so that very masculine women are paired with very masculine men–the logic being that extremely feminine women were needed…[Read more]

The left hand is “unclean” according to a widespread religious practice involving not using the right hand for tasks such as touching one’s genitals. Holding hands becomes impossible with lefts made taboo. Left hand paths… I use both hands, and appreciate their unique skillsets and expressions. Drawings made with my left hand exclusively…[Read more]

First comic: Afraid of being the real you? 😉

Who isn’t? Why else would people worry about death?

Second comic: I know very well the idea of sealing the heart in a box. Sometimes you have to find the right person to give the key (as in the comic). Also, sometimes if you learn to love yourself again, you can get rid of the box on your…[Read more]

THE SHIP SUNK IN LOVE

Should Love’s heart rejoice unless I burn?
For my heart is Love’s dwelling.
If You will burn Your house, burn it, Love!
Who will say, ‘It’s not allowed’?
Burn this house thoroughly!
The lover’s house improves with fire.
From now on I will make burning my aim,
From now on I will make burning my aim,
for I am like…[Read more]

Nothing in my hands but…

Life is like a path…and we all have to walk the path… As we walk… we’ll find experiences like little scraps of paper in front of us along the way. We must pick up those pieces of scrap paper and put them in our pocket… Then, one day, we will have enough scraps of papers to put together and see what they…[Read more]

I only read a little bit of that. I’m enjoying a new sensation and pulsation of myself: it’s good to be honest because what else can one hope to know and accept and or or love

This includes not hiding one’s unique personality as the ones who see it best would also know that it’s there, even if cloaked. The question is, what does one need as…[Read more]

This Scorpio-Taurus smiling to Saturn thanks you for a generous, frank, and honest transmission of

Qi

Please don’t sugar-coat things for me unless your heart says otherwise. I smiled very deeply upon reading your post, and again, now.

this applies most especially to you, dear, darling, reader, in or out of agreement or…[Read more]

>>>Please don’t sugar-coat things for me unless your heart says otherwise.

“I haven’t, as you asked me not to.
But there is also a place of respect to where you have to allow others to evolve in their own time. To do otherwise is an inappropriate crossing-of-boundaries. When you are ready to share how things relate to your own life, share.…[Read more]

Fool Turtle is just a projection of my mind
I refer to myself as to a friend because
I’d like to know myself better.

>>>Oh, indeed. In fact, that very phrase passed

If the universe chooses to respond to a request and it decides…[Read more]

“Be careful what you wish for…”

Oh, indeed. In fact, that very phrase passed through my mind before I sat down with the eclipse… and I haven’t done a good job of communicating what that wish was… soon, i think.

This thread, and your comments, have helped me out more than you could know, psychic though Scorpio may be.

As Nasruddin emerged form the mosque after prayers, a beggar sitting on the street solicited alms. The following conversation followed:

– Are you extravagant? asked Nasruddin.

– Yes Nasruddin. replied the beggar.

– Do you like sitting around drinking coffee and smoking? asked Nasruddin.

– Yes. replied the beggar.

– I suppose you…[Read more]

A little bird suggested, rather insistently, that I discover and contemplate the location of the Northern Node of the moon at my birth. Wow! In light of my last post, exploring the Taurus-Scorpio axis… it’s a bit surreal. Maybe there’s more truth in natal charts than merely fodder for archetypal meditations…

My northern node is in…[Read more]

“Desire in Taurus becomes spiritual aspiration in Scorpio. The darkness of the experience in Scorpio becomes illumination in Taurus, for it must never be forgotten that where the pairs of opposites are concerned they gain and profit from each other, for there is a direct line of force and of contact between the two. This is a fact which is…[Read more]

Hi Steven,

I just read this: “Ox’s most abundant months are the fourth, eighth, and eleventh lunar months. Ox’s most abundant days are the eighth day of the fourth lunar month and the eleventh day of the eleventh lunar month.” If you’ll note what I was up to on 11 of 11 at 11 and 11; ha…
