Fresh Writing: What the He%& is Going On?

1) It's the final loop on the Mayan Calendar. Need more info? See this post explaining

2) Mercury Retrograde is coming

3) Full moon in Leo. LEO! Enough said.

4) Pluto squared Saturn (Lord of Karma and the Lord of Death) which is basically the four horsemen of the apocalypse condensed into two planetary positions.





If you are not noticing the tsunami of change in your own life, you are likely enlightened or a fundamentalist extremest. Notice the people around you going "postal" or on the brink of such erratic behavior? If not, watch out, it's coming. Even drivers are getting a little scary.

Life in Five Short Chapters

CHAPTER 1

I walk down the street.
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk.
And I fall in.
I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

CHAPTER 2

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It takes a long time to get out.

CHAPTER 3

I walk down the same street and there is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there, and still I fall in.
It's a habit.
But my eyes are open and I know where I am.
It is my fault and I get out immediately.

CHAPTER 4

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

CHAPTER 5

I walk down a different street.
