About This Valentine's Day

Do you remember the song the age of Aquarius.....and the prediction was about when the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars. Well folks, that was this Valentine's Day, and here is my poem. BTW the question I pose, as promised a few posts back is forthcoming.

Jupiter Aligns With Mars

by Roseroberta

The moon was in the 7^th house—

on Valentine’s Day no less—

a time for truth,

justice, peace

and love.

Prometheus the fire bearer

sat on the subway steps

waiting for the A train to come

down the tunnel where

several forgotten Gods

hung out.

He was just thinking

how to best light their fire,

when the A train came blaring

by, with Miles at the helm—

a ghost train loaded

like Pandora’s box

with dreams of King

and a whole generation

of Xs still lost in the ruble

of blackness and tunnels

railroaded and derailed,

and Prometheus sat

on the subway stairs.

And as the train passes

beyond 3rd rails

across the station

on the platform

at the other side,

he sees a poster

in black and white

an ode to,

not joy, but

“audacity

to hope.”

Constantine and Reincarnation

Just to give you more of an understanding of the manipulations of the Christian religion by Constantine.

All of this done by one man's fanatical need for control and threats of ostracism and death, starting with a mystical vision that he interpreted literally. Have things changed so much in our present age? If you want to read about reincarnation in the Bible and how this all came about there are excellent articles at: http://reluctant-messenger.com/...

And Suddenly Snow

(To the left is a frost photo by Lida--see more below) (This graphic to the left is public domain, and I thought appropriate to winter's long awaited face this year.) I was looking learily out the window at the falling rain which promised a frozen sheet of glass to come. Nudged to go to the window seats and have a look, I found that frozen puddles already lined the sidewalk and the trees were covered in icicles that, though beautiful, had ominous predictions about the condition of the roads. My knee bandaged from a recent sprain, I decided this was a day to stay home. I returned to my seat in front of the computer and was sitting there for no more then five minutes, when I turned my head to find heavy flakes of snow pouring down from the sky. The trees and sidewalk were already covered with the snows illuminating whiteness, and it brought a lightness to the room that had been deprived by several days of gray skies. It amazed me how quickly all was covered in white, and it ...
