2O APRIL WEDNESDAY
But there are always moments of self-soubt.
when your conscience works overtime
and you think you've been too harsh
or insensitive
or unfair
or too pushy
or selfish
or unempathic
or unloving
and you twist yourself into a
human pretzel
all while Venus is transiting
the last degree of Pisces
and Neptune rules.
but before long
you think,
"OH, crap. I can't drive myself crazy trying
to figure out the right thing to do."
Because when Mars takes over again
and you come back to your right mind
or you sober up
you remember
that the right thing to do
IS TO DO SOMETHING
This pain is not to make you sad, remember. That's where people go on missing.... This pain is just to make you more alert--because people become alert only when the arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them. Otherwise they don't become alert. When life is easy, comfortable, convenient, who cares? Who bothers to become alert? When a friend dies, there is a possibility. When your woman leaves you alone--those dark nights, you are lonely. You have loved that woman so much and you have staked all, and then suddenly one day she is gone. Crying in your loneliness, those are the occasions when, if you use them, you can become aware. The arrow is hurting: it can be used. The pain is not to make you miserable, the pain is to make you more aware! And when you are aware, misery disappears.
