An arrow pierces where it is aimed. Ancient imagery depicts the spilling of blood. Blood is the watery essence of us all. Most of us in western civilization would like concrete, black and white clarity and transparency. The trouble is, the elusive permeable nature of water, rarely, if ever, gives concrete dogma. The law tries to exemplify the purity of what holds our structure together. But if the nature of lawyers is human, they personify the ambiguity of conflicting truths. As humans we are capable of belief in the greater good. We are also often, in favor of putting our truth above others.

Janis Joplin said, “Is freedom just another word for nothing left to lose?” Is freedom a realistic linear concept? Internal peaceful consciousness perhaps is the bright light we search for.

Free comes from indo European word root “to love”, as does the word friend. We often seem to go to the more dramatic definition of romantic, sexual love. A friend has this Concept of lesser than the dramatic, but, the internal peacefulness is often the everyday solace we need more of. Friendship is a subtle balance of chemistry and submissiveness.

Like the conundrum of the fetus killing and eating parts of the mother, which side to be on? It always feels better to have a purpose, a clear opinion, sometimes a mother must choose, like Solomon made her.

Your ruling planet moves so much faster than any other. As water is your element, you prefer the rhythm of the moment.

Just stumble along, trying the repetition that suits you best, and surround yourself with friends that will let you do this.

The millennials seemingly are following theses various concepts and not the organized religion of our past.
